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.
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.
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.
