“The worst part of this whole thing is that I don’t get to be against those Asians anymore!!! Where’s my american exceptionalism?!”
“Freaking Vance, even I could find a ton of bad things to say about China!!”
Say the word!!!
“Ackchually, China is about to collapse :smuglord: ghost metro stops! USSR shortages!!!”
God I fucking hate libs.
I don’t feel like editing it. You know what I mean.Ive been watching DPRK vids from an english woman who’s visiting and documenting some cool stuff and honestly the shit you see in the comments is the most blatant liberal racism ever.
Filming the face of a local? Especially if that local is showing joy? “RIP” “I hope they survived”
Food? “How can you enjoy this food when everyone starves and eats dogs etc. etc.” “Probably fake”
Viewing any built up area with infrastructure? “I hope they paid you well for this” “where are the people???”
I’ve noticed “where are the people?” is usually about the streets not having enough cars
Which is ironically the most American car brained shit possible lol
Ooh. Can you share the vids, please?
like subway stations in the middle of nowhere
I’ll assume these are instances of building out the public transit system where future growth is expected while it’s cheap and easy, instead of waiting for the development to happen and then trying to build a subway station around it.
USSR-like shortages in some places as opposed to abundance in others
There was an amazing tweet I vaguely remember seeing posted on
on r/shitliberalssay that had some liberal noticing that a Chinese subway stop they had previously called out for being “in the middle of nowhere” was, three years later, at the heart of a bustling new population centre. Iirc they weren’t impressed and declared it to be a matter of “luck”.Planning is apparently too advanced a concept for these people.
The Chinese government is so lucky that when they planned a new urban development, it completely randomly and unrelatedly just happened to be in the same place they’d previously built transportation infrastructure.
the prc is known for using the classic blindfolded dart-throwing method of city planning
Burgerites be so car-brained they can’t even fathom that building a public transit station would make that area attractive for residents and development.
Iirc they weren’t impressed and declared it to be a matter of “luck”.
That reminds me of this dumbass I know who keeps leaving his carrots out in the woods, underneath a box propped up by a stick. Complete waste of food, but somehow he keeps getting lucky and small animals keep randomly going under the box, causing it to fall on top of them. He’s so superstitious, he swears up and down that the reason it keeps happening is because of the carrots, even though obviously it doesn’t make any sense logically.
you’re supposed to let cities appear organically
the Chinese are manipulating their city development
where future growth is expected
And God forbid if they were providing public transit to everyone in the country, including people living in rural areas. Obviously China should have a culture of Ford F150s and de facto segregation like the US.
I’ve seen articles calling the rural stations ”unprofitable”. Terminal capitalism brain is when you think public utilities exist to make a profit, many such cases.
Hearing people criticize public service infrastructure as unprofitable makes me vibrate and it happens way too often
They’re so close to figuring it out, so fucking close. But then they choose to be mad that the other racists aren’t “respectable” enough with their racism.
The first comment just baffled me, literally saying “but how am I gonna keep hating on my trade partner?” as if that was a good thing somehow. 69 upvotes at the time of the screenshot. Unlimited compulsory reeducation on the western world.
I had to comment on one of the responses.
Hopefully you won’t turn back to anti-chinese sentiment and pro-US-imperialism when the cheeto is gone.
There’s no chance for the person in the screenshot not being anti-chinese, they just want a excuse to be racist, they’re gone.
Yeah, I’m the one you quoted right now, that’s my alt. I’m just showing the hypocrisy
Of course the sole hero dunking on the libs is from hexbear.
Actually, lemm.ee user first before hexbear.net
😔
Oh god, oh fuck, Civility commented on my post, what do I do?!
😘 Civility on the cheek.
Idk what the fuck this means but I showed it to my roomate who immediately recognized it as Philip Reed. He says his coworkers introduced him 🤷. Is Reed popular rn?
I think Phillip Reed is one of the pseudonyms Hal Hartley, a movie writer-director, uses as part of his movie-making. He also has composed music for his movies as Ned Rifle. Which he inserts as little references in his movies like characters named that and books visibly written by people called that. It definitely sounds like the music he’s written for his other movies.
I guess he’s popular if your roommate likes quirked-up indie movies.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I don’t think they understand how trade between the US and China works if they think China can’t deal without US imports without going into scarcity better than the reverse.
Also, China hasn’t levied tariffs on every other country. The US has.
Yeah, China will just trade with the rest of Asia, Africa, Mexico, Central America, South America, Canada, Europe and Australia. America is a big market but it’s not the only game in town. China kind of is.
Mexico is being bullied to reduce trade with China, and it’s understandable to be working to a certain degree
Yeah honestly Sheinbaum and the Morena party in general are doing fucking amazing for their situation
I was curious so I briefly looked it up, if I remember right, China only imports like 7 percent of its total imports from the USA. It was comparable to South Korea. They can weather this storm far better than the US.
The main thing that’s gonna sting for your average Chinese citizen is increased food costs, sonce the US supplies China with a lot of soy and wheat. But they have also been taking steps for this exact situation since this all played out at a smaller scale 7 years ago.
China will just increase trade with Brazil if materially feasible for them. Brazilian agriculture, especially Soy and Corn are already fucking huge for Chinese animal husbandry. I don’t think even another Bolsonaro could prevent an increase in this trade with the Brazilian agricultural lobby being as influential as it is.
About the last paragraph, many non-US-vassals countries fear chinese products, now not going to burgerland and in a hurry, might dump their markets.
It’s a pain in the ass for everyone in the short term, with potential weird ripple effects
You can observe that in real time by votes in .ml political and news posts. If the post just bash maga, chuds, trump, etc it’s upvotes galore. But if it suggest libs are not much different than chuds in anything, it’s in minus.
US political support only makes sense if you view it in the lens of mindless sports team support. Their team is the good guys, the other team is the bad guys, therefore their team good and they need to win the Votebowl.
I think this is why they find it so hard to understand why anyone could like China’s government. The US media basically presents the CPC as a wrestling “heel” a villain who just does bad things because they’re bad so the audience has someone to hate. Things like policy, success, transparency are irrelevant to them, because they aren’t thinking about politics when they talk about politics, they are talking about their favourite sport, “politics” where “their” team needs to win. (I think this also explains their blind loyalty to political parties that fuck them over time and time again, because what a party actual does to govern is irrelevant to them, it’s only about “their team”)
None of these people are salvageable
Over this past year I’ve had the realisation that reeducation camps will have to be compulsory for at least half the fucking west… I hate Europeans I hate Europeans I hate Europeans
cant be re-educated if you never had an education to start with
ACAB
all crackers are bigots
As a cracker and a bigot, I can confirm
Eh, once China winning is inevitible they’ll have always been pro china. Liberals are narrativists and opportunists and if the narrative contradctions cannot be papered over they’ll retcon.
That’s a good point tbh, I need to start showing my support now if I don’t want to be lumped in with all the bandwagoners later
dude with his home instance as lemmynsfw asking for Chinese incarceration rates I’m gonna stroke out
lemmynsfw
stroke out
I specifically changed it from “gonna have a stroke” to avoid this response
Answered with statistics just in case. Hope they’ll drain the snake poison thinking of Chinese prison statistics NGL.
Nope. Someone as far gone as that is just going to assume any statistics are just “lying” about it unless it confirms their racist ideas about China.
What a weird instance to use as your home. Just checked and it’s not even porn anymore it’s just AI bot spam of stable diffusion slop
Hey maybe incarceration data is his fetish, don’t kinkshame
subway stations in the middle of nowhere
Transportation runs on supply and demand in the West, except for cars, and subways aren’t cars. It’s why this shit never goes anywhere, it follows the logic of “Why build a bridge, nobody is swimming across the river?”. Except for cars, where every kilometer driven adds 3 eurodollars to the GDP and as such every new road pays for itself in at most 2 years
Why build a bridge, nobody is swimming across the river?
perfect summation of urban planning under capitalism
Beautifully put.
Are these China’s supply-chain shortages in the room right now?
i want to open up the skull of the last lemmitor and study the mighty brain capable of consuming so much propaganda uncritically
wtf is going on when we can no longer even get together to hate on an external trading partner?
“Back in my days we could simply hate foreigners without thinking, now I have to think before hating.”if the average chinese person has to experience anything it wont be shortages in food, housing, healthcare, or education
the chinese system will secure those things first and foremost and no chinese national is worried that they will be short in those departments
can we say the same for americans?
The Americans are americaning so americanly that I can’t even say “What are we, a bunch of Asians?” Someone please help!
Westerners and being arrogant towards countries in Asia, something something naming duo and all that.
Triangulated racism.
