Had a lovely WeChat conversation with my 96 year old revolutionary grandfather a couple days ago and at one point he hit me with the "You should buy property over there to rent out, it's very lucrative, and you should take the {老外|lǎo wài}'s money and spend it in China"

I actually had no idea how to respond to this financial advice. Like at face value, the housing market is a bubble and could collapse at any moment, and also I'm not sure how moral being a parasite would be even if you're leeching off of the benefactors of colonialism and western hegemony.

He has little empathy for the white working class, he considers them racist and reactionary with no class consciousness while benefiting and supporting empire.

Which isn't entirely incorrect but still, leeching is still leeching.
