It's irritating as hell that every thread about every country is in fact about America.

As someone who has nothing do do with America, there is a big difference between talking up China and talking up the DPRK. Yes, they are both opposed to the USA in a bunch of ways, but while China has a lot of success to point at to justify the less pleasant stuff, the DPRK is... well, like someone said upthread, a run-of-the-mill authoritarian little country, with poor overall standards of living.

But, because it is opposed to the USA, and almost certainly only because of that, there is this weird love for it itt.

Perhaps you can elaborate a little on why this is the case. Do you think they choose to be poor or do you think that there are other factors that play into the country's economy?

China: hey, I build you rail, roads, ports and an airport, plus we help you out with lots of credit straight to your account, no questions asked, for a symbolic fee. All we ask back is for us to trade, alright?

USA: so you want some money heh I got some heh heh look I need you to undo all these bullshit regulations about foreign financial movements, also my guys need to not pay taxes at all, k? we want 50% of your ports privatized, every airport ought to have a 20% private capital participation minimum. also we wanna an installation fee for those companies, consider it your entry price for our unbelievable yaaaas good loans, heh. btw they're so good so good that you gotta take a primary one from us with these spectacular interest rates, you just have to, heheheh. then you take another one from the IMF, because you see, the third tranche part is going to come from them. The second part is from this super-duper great private consortium of interests we are assembling just. for. you to make your jungleshit country ahem picturesque tropical wonder awesomely developed, POWERED BY AMERICA. after three years of proper payment and continuous demonstrations of goodwill by your part, such as by offering us really cheap privatization deals, we will then give 30% of the primarily negotiated value in your national account over two years, with interest discounted! isn't this the BEST. loving. DEAL. EVER?!?!?!?!

how about - liberals are objectively a mass extinction event, and anything that kills them is extremely loving good for every existing life form in the known universe. the only thing stalin did wrong was not nuking the poo poo out of America the first chance he got. mao likewise. pol pot was prolly onto something.

whatever the CCP does to reproduce its power and build/defend/expand Chinese socialism is totally fine by me - china is literally one of the last hopes for humanity. i do not give a flying gently caress about weegurs or lib-protestors or falun gong or whatever other hysterical libvictim propaganda construct that you've thoughtlessly auto-reified. kill them all, let God sort it out.

how's that for 'stanning', bitch? you want some more?

y'all libs make the holocaust look like a children's birthday party, and then you come in here projecting your atavistic judeo-xtian moralist hypocrisy at us like we're all playing the same game with the same ruleset. like it's somehow our problem that your trashcan world-horizon stopped evolving in the 17c. you and your ideology and your 'values' and your 'morality' and your 'lifestyle' and every goddamn construct in your head - all of it, your entire loving potemkin civilization is a planetary cancer, a plague, a disease. you're so incomprehensibly evil that the biosphere would rather destroy itself than allow you to continue existing. even the planet knows - suffer not the liberal to live. the cancer must be burned out.

that you haven't realized this yet can only mean you're still too enmeshed in your fanatical consumerist ideological enclosure to give a poo poo about anything outside of the tinglings in your oh so beautiful soul. you are doing a mass extinction event, and while you are doing it you are moralizing about politics like an illiterate toddler. political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, son. so it has been, so it is, so it shall be.

there's just no more room in the gulags for you lot anymore. we're full up.

i mean it's totally true that western capitalism is going to eat itself and fail, and that China is the largest nation on the globe on an absolute rampage of development and national confidence. it's extremely obvious what's going to happen in the next few decades. Xi bringing back Leninism is the way to go. How's western democracy doing anyway
