They straight up use the same old red scare arguments that the far right use against them lmao

Like holy shit have some self-awareness.

Motherfuckers saying eat the rich and then calling Mao a genocidal monster for eating the rich.

Can't make this shit up.

    Ting is so poor a curse that causes poverty doesn't work on her

    If she can still pay her rent, that seems like an anemic curse.

    Anyway, you'll get different phrasings of this, but the phrasing I will use here is that markets are not synonymous with liberal capitalism and neither is poverty. I don't see what the insight of a cartoon vs, I don't know, looking at the non-zero number of malnourished people who are still in China.

    One major difference that might be left unsaid (idk, I haven't watched it) is that if she got evicted that doesn't mean she'd be out on the street unless she chose to be. Legally, she should have some home address (most likely where her parents live) that is designated as her housing in such a case but, critically, if she does not have any such place (like if her family is dead and she owns no house) she would be given housing by the state. She may not want this housing due to its location or some other issue (and "itinerant" homelessness is very common in some Chinese cities), but that's significantly different from being forced onto the street in the manner that people in America are.
