        Far right talking points like checks notes I think it would be better for the world if the us wasn't capable of coupling every country that doesn't toe the line, and while you can hurt an individual white persons feelings along racial lines, the absence of systemic oppression makes reverse racism impossible.
        Or are you talking about the clearly obvious jokes like "yakubian devil"? It's pretty obviously a joke, no one here actually believes in phrenology. You might want to go back to Reddit where you can comfort yourself with humour being limited to the same 9 shitty puns

            Yeah I think people choosing their own leaders is pretty good actually. I'm also a huge fan of children not starving. Guess I'm just not enough of a redditor to not give a shit about people dying for the greed of another man far away.

                I do enjoy a good fantasy book. However I don't think "kids not starving" is a fantasy. Consider the fact that you yourself are not immune to propaganda either. I try to base my beliefs on verifiable facts that can endure cross-examination, rather than "well if BBC says it, it must be true." Here's some of them. China is the only country that is on track to hit the goals stated in the Paris Agreement.
                China has invested trillions in combating climate change.
                75% of people alleviated from poverty are chinese citizens.
                China has a higher life expectancy than the US.
                China has a higher median wage than several european countries.
                The US has the largest prisoner population in the world.
                Slavery is legal in the US as a punishment for a crime.
                The leaders of the riots in Ferguson were all murdered. Several political leaders have disappeared or died mysteriously over the years in the US.
                The US "used to have" a project by the name of COINTELPRO which focused on political dissidents.
