gh0stpinballa posted:my friend taught in both the US and china. he said china was fun, the friends he made there welcomed him with open arms, and there was a happiness to the lifestyle, an art of living and exuberence of warmth, that he still remembers lovingly. when he went to america afterwards he had high hopes and was crushed, appalled at the decayed infrastructure, the lovely food, the corruption, the dull witted people, all afflicted with various species of ring- and tapeworm. he wasnt trying to be inflammatory, he just described it as a nightmarish experience. couldn't believe the rest of the world has been shaped to fit *this*. i once went to new york, i remember thinking this is pretty fun but not sustainable. 2020 seems to be bearing this out, and china is at last accepting her role as hegemon. the world simply cannot take another century of america. Guess that paycheck cleared

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:a lot of the left has gotten particularly dumb about china in the last few years, views it as some form of actually existing socialism that must be defended. its just a symptom of powerlessness i guess, just pretending china is meaningfully socialist in any way is more comforting than recognizing the reality that capitalism has successfully & almost completely wiped out 20th century socialism He's right

Ferrinus posted:the term 'whataboutism' itself originates as an american complaint about the soviet union. specifically, before the ussr got nukes, some american diplomat was holding forth in public or at a conference of some kind about how maybe the us should nuke the ussr to free all its toiling masses from communist dictatorship, and a soviet diplomat responded like "well that's not very nice of you, i mean you guys are still lynching black people on the reg but it's not like i'm suggesting we invade you" and the american was like "augh! whataboutism!!" I don't care
