Normally they're pretty good, but man, that is a bad fucking take. Yeah, I'm sure China is going to fall apart annnnny day now because it's exactly the same as the US.

Yeah that's where I am. There is no point to any principled stand in the imperial core other than anti-imperialism. Watching the context of how far China has really come in benefiting their people in 70 years from where they started from, it's incredible. No one really thinks that China is a magical utopia. But like you said, many of us need to have some sort of hope in a better world just to go about our days.
just the declarations of going carbon neutral, building high-speed rail, anti-climate change initiatives are the things that keep me from being a full-blown :doomer:. When people say "nothing can be done" and the Chinese are planning, designing, investing and building robust infrastructure. I can at least yell "eat shit you dumb fuckin genocidal maniacs". Everything else is meaningless to me.
