Supposedly, they already fell about 15-20% looking at random articles, that said I don’t think the government wants the market to completely collapse but just to be more affordable.

Admittedly, most Western cities probably need a 25-30% haircut at this point. The PRC is just moving forward up the timeline a bit while the West is doing everything it can to avoid it.

my theory has always been that the PRC uses the USA as a Palantir into the future for "if we gently caress up the economy completely, gut the interior with drugs, unemployment and plague, and just go hog wild with bullshit economic bubbles, how will our economy look in 30 years?" then adjust in the opposite direction.

You can hold the view that despotism is fine if you want. Simply slapping Oriental in front of it doesn't make the term racist. I am amazed at how 5 pages of whataboutism is simply tolerated and even a mod engages in it. Authoritarianism is pretty simple. Everyone knows it, you guys are just trying to conflate it with capitalism, imperialism, colonialism all in an attempt to continue the derail.

China is developing futuristic passenger plane rockets as a front for hypersonic cruise missiles!!!!! they're designing domestically-produced cpus as a front for hypersonic cruise missile guidance!!! They're building high speed rail to transport hypersonic cruise missile parts!!! They're modernizing healthcare in order to treat the hypersonic cruise missile scientists!!!!

Liberal Capitalism is all about liquifying social relations and existing bonds so anarchists/ liberals as integrated citizens of these liberal institutions can’t fathom that even capitalism can have hegemony under a patron called the US.

Paradoxically, they do this while in a state of “capitalist realism” being unable to imagine a system other than capitalism all together. So in their eyes capitalism is forever and the unsaid part is: US hegemony is forever.

Authoritarianism is the belief that your worldview is true and other people have to be compelled to see things your way, whereas libertarianism hinges on the supposition that the truth of your own beliefs are uncertain and everyone's opinions are valid. In a libertarian framework you can't compel anyone to believe in anything, they have to be "persuaded," basically. (I mean small-l libertarianism, not Libertarianism)

Anti-authoritarianism is therefore a struggle against the established world view. So what are the people who try to brow beat everyone into buying the narratives of American media and the US state department?

The whole framework falls apart because no serious person supposes that their beliefs are wrong unless they themselves can recognize the contradictions. All politics are authoritarian struggles for power.

The only protection against authoritarianism, therefore, is to have politicians who don't believe in anything and hold no convictions. That is why it's important to vote Democrat.

authoritarianism, more than a label, is a framing that emphasizes suspicion towards any state that doesn't do unlimited liberalism
