if for no other reason than China isn’t close enough to be the primary actor fucking over my flavor of minority

where as the US has 100+ years of history doing so

Both China and the US are fascist. So they're about the same.

Yeah, fascists will call themselves socialist, democratic, or even communist if it serves their goal of gaining power.

You need to do a lot of due diligence on anyone calling themselves a socialist.

Why does everything need to be compared to the US and why can't both be bad?

Hey, be generous and give .ml some time to write their script at how they treat their minorities better before they respond to you!

In my -admittedly limited - experience, the bast majority of people are nice, good people. Doesn't matter where they come from, what the color of their skin is, what their culture is, most people are decent and just want to make it through the day. Just the other day I was in a city where a football world cup match was playing and the streets were filled to the brim with people from all countries, all walks of life, all partying together. I saw 10 people from every "color" and gender and what not, all playing "keep the ball up". Everyone was wearing a T-shirt from a different country and it didn't matter, everyone was there to enjoy themselves.

Its usually a tiny portion of narcissistic assholes with psychopathic tendencies that feel the need to get more money, more power, who always end up pushing bullshit like this. It's always a form of "I want more wealth or power so if I make another minority group look bad, I can divide and conquer and become even bigger!"

I think that if we simply remove the option to become super powerful that things finally will turn around. That means world wide wealth caps for one, nobody richer than, say, ten million dollars, anything over that goes to taxes. And for two, it means also capping the power that politicians have.

Once everyone is more or less equally powerful, and there are no more incentives to push for more wealth, that 1% if you will, will no longer have the power to push those narratives that one is better than the other, they won't be able to spread lies as easily anymore and why even try if you can't get rich or powerful anymore?

I think that is the thing that will turn this around for humanity, we need to stop the rich and powerful

China is obviously better than america and its not even close, however china is still bad due to revisionism/dengism

I dont think either system will be the one prevailing in the long term, they are both to flawed and do not prevent corruption which will always destroy any system. So yea both are bad, which leads to the question which is currently worse? I'd argue latestage captialism corpo America is worse then CCP China at the moment. I think more average people are suffering in America then in China at this point in time. Dont get me wrong I'm not a fan off China in terms of censorship, oppression of people and other control measures in place, my only argument is that living a standard live in China is easier/more comfortable at the moment then in the US (better healthcare, less household debt, less homelessness, etc.). Also the Taiwan situation is very different then the Tibet and Uyghurs oppression but that's a whole other topic so I don't wanna start that discussion

It is better at churning out more billionaires than the US now.
