    I just had the same glitch. Very frustrating.

    As to that comparison, it's so outrageous I'm not even sure what to say. How do cops saying cops are good refute the experience of Chinese citizens? If your claim is they are authoritarian fascists, it seems like the belief among Chinese citizens that they live in a fair democracy is extremely relevant.

      I'm saying they are Proto-Fascist. Meaning the way has been paved for Fascism.

      Another example of Proto-Fascism I would use is Donald Trump's Presidency.

        But how? You haven't explained how besides a single line in a national anthem. Again, the people of China clearly disagree with you. Not the government - the everyday citizens. They think they live in a democracy. They think their government acts in the best interests of the people. They think the government has made their lives materially better. Do you know better than they do?

          I just got that bug again. This is killing me.

          Do you have a different study that shows how many Chinese think their government acts in the best interests of the people?

              I will say, I feel less uneasy now about China as the World's superpower. I still don't like the idea. Having two superpowers compete to see who can go farther to the left just seems like a sweeter deal.

              Chapos should just create Outer Heaven and become the superpower instead.

                    I wish, but I'm putting my money on that not happening, at least not with all its current institutions intact. Refer to the history of entire 20th century. If anything, having a rival superpower makes the US more and more insanely right-wing. I mean, you can already see this in action today.

                    Under what administration? Or do you think a revolution could actually be successful in the US?

              It's fine dude. Everything else is amazing. I'll just copy-paste from notepad until it's fixed.
