They think they’re the most open minded and forward thinking people on the planet, while in reality they’re incredibly misguided and they’re spitting in the faces of every single person who died in the last few hundred years, while fighting to rid ourselves from tyranny.
Fact: The CCP is a tyranny. Fact: the US is a democracy. No matter how much you try to play mind games, these facts are indisputable.
I remember not too long ago there was a study (one of the only of its kind, it sadly seems) that actually looked at the extent the United States could be characterized as a democracy, and it found that ordinary people have basically no influence and mostly only get what they want from the electoral system if their interests happen to align with wealthier, more powerful interests.
That shit used to circulate all over reddit, but now we have to pretend we don't suck as much to claim the ever-phony moral high-ground over China.
