What blows my mind the most about Americans gobbling down the anti-China goop being fed to them is the fact that just about every single fucking person I've ever met in America absolutely hates our government, and for one reason or another we all openly agree and joke about what a farce it is. So, why are all these same people so eager to tear down the CPC, just to replace it with the exact same type of system they all fucking hate? I suppose because then the news would stop telling them how bad and wrong China is all the time, and they can just go back to never thinking about it at all.
They still think that other systems must necessarily be worse than their own because westerners are aryan ubermensch
Or like my SO still thinks, capitalism “is the only system that has worked.”
And I gesture widely and say “Has it?”
Why waste your life on a person like that?
I'm sure limiting your dating pool to literally 0.000001% of the population is a realistic strategy to have
this is generally a fair point but I personally would not date someone who still has any faith in capitalism. lib brained twitter socialist is like the bare minimum if we're talking long term relationship, and where I live young people are largely anti capitalist in some form or other, unless they are rich.
I’m trying to radicalize him, but we’ll see how it goes.
"Do you hate the government?"
"Yes."
"Then why would you want a second one?"

The typical American probably thinks that, outside of Hong Kong, everyone lives in extreme poverty in shacks. Or at best, in very small apartments in massive plain concrete buildings that look like prisons.
Just last week, I was talking with a coworker who didn’t realize South Africa had paved roads.
Never underestimate the ignorance or racism of americans
Saw a TV show the other day where a Cuban refugee is sick and someone goes "They had to flee. No way to get treatment in Cuba." and I'm just like, Cuba? The country with one of the world's best healthcare systems? The one that educates the most doctors per capita? That Cuba?
But sure, flee to the US, where penniless immigrants tend to have access to excellent care, I'm sure.
They specifically hate the domestic, internal bureaucracies that nag them, they don't like paying taxes or not being able to dump toxic slug down their sewer drain. It's narcissistic individualism, they want to be able to do what they want while also having a Big-Other to protect them from the consequences of their actions. Americans love the State when it comes to enforcing global dollar hegemony.
CHUDs hate the metropolitan, snotty, arty elite and their henchmen the spooky Three-Letter-Boys, but they love the beef eating, beer drinking, good ol' boys military and cops who protect the Church and local petty-bourg, cuz it ain't really about freedom it's about a social order that lets you marry your 13 year old niece, so she can join your 2nd cousin wife in the kitchen. Can't let any of them woke ass socialism countries with their female emancipation get too popular.
Unfortunately, nationalism is fully compatible with hating who's in charge.
Americans hate individuals in government, believing that if it weren’t for [Specific Partisan] the US government would finally align with their dreams and everything would be way better than China ever could be. But it’s just because the wrong people are in power — the power structure itself is not to be questioned.
This is the same issue with the Harry Potter books, as Shaun points out in his video. Rowling is herself a major neoliberal, so she can’t write realistic villains (Voldemort) nor solve the systemic evils of the fucked up, racist, and discriminatory Wizarding World. Her solutions are all to remove the problematic individuals and stop short of systemic change. Harry decides near the end that
lmao.
