    Settlers seething as shit about this one lmao. Wish I could pull it off, but I’m p sure China’s another nation with a whole list of pre-existing conditions they won’t admit.

      I went to go check the comments, but they were surprisingly positive. I guess the settlers who would be seething haven’t seen it

    I feel like people probably didn’t actually watch this video. Good for them and all, but uhhh the second point praising how China has more entrepreneurs? Or the third one about how the US isn’t tough enough on crime?

      Not the reasons I’d go with either, but we’re also not the target audience I imagine given that we don’t need to be convinced why Chinese system is better. This kind of stuff helps people in the mainstream to see that China isn’t scary.

        Eh. The thing about how people don’t jaywalk (a weird and fake crime to bring up as an example) because of the security cameras with facial recognition and that the cops will “come to their door” if people break the law will have the opposite effect and convince people that China is in fact jorjorwell 1984.

      You gotta tap into the NPC thought complex if you want to shill something tbh

      Some of their comments do say they’re happy about the lack of police brutality. But I think they know that talking about that won’t be well received and they’re playing it safe

      I did, and there’s a couple reasons why I didn’t sub to the channel; mostly contempt for hustle culturists and ‘grindset’ types-- but I do think they’re right in one regard. The colonized, brutally-repressed subjects-of-empire, should the means present themselves, likely have a better friend in China and her people over Amerika; and we should be exploring that to its deepest, most logical conclusions. I’ve been saying for years now-- if China was good enough for the Panthers, it’s good enough for me.

      Entrepreneurship is good, though. Innovation is necessary to make progress in advancing society, especially now that the US and its’ satellites are preventing the export of high-value technological products to the country.

      As for the crime, well, that’s what happens when you live in the cradle of neoliberal rot and decay. The laws are no good if the ones writing and enforcing them are rats and maggots.
