    Oh I’m still plugging away. So far this entire comment section is trying to pull the argument into China good, US bad direction. Ignoring my argument altogether (both systems suck).

    Unfortunately, my role has become teacher just to try to keep people in topic. I’m talking about a unifying system we should all be working on and everyone else is rooting for their sports team like drunken idiots.

      Redditers need to learn that disagreeing with an argument is not the same as ignoring it. (Though in the case it’s just an assertion, not an argument)

      Oh my God, what an insufferable loser you are. You’ve been catagorically schooled by multiple people much more knowledgeable than you and now you’re trying to fall back on smug condescention like you arrogant western supremacists always do. “A foreigner disagreed with me? Clearly I just need to educate this ignorant savage!”

      I’m talking about a unifying system we should all be working on

      No, you aren’t. All you’ve done is shrug and say “both sides bad” while condemning the actually better system.

      everyone else is rooting for their sports team

      This is such projection, Jesus Christ

          Ah it seems you’ve failed to keep your composure as well.

          Are you actually trying to do a caricature of the most insufferable kind of reddit shithead? It’s hard to believe anyone could sincerely type this out

            Oh absolutely not. I simply treat my commentary on the internet in line with how I treat people face to face. I don’t know you or what is going on in your life. What things you’ve achieved or suffered. I simply cannot devolve a person to fit my needs because I’m hiding behind an anonymous keyboard. I’m not trying to take a moral high ground either. I want us to reach common ground in the end.

            I’m convinced 99% of the world cares about a few common goals: health, family, housing, entertainment, peace and fairness.

            The fact we are struggling with each other to to figure the best way to get that… shit. You’re like a great person compared to so many that don’t even think about these things or have the education to consider it. It’s okay that we disagree or misunderstand each other. I’m giving us both the benefit of the doubt that our intent is good and not just selfishly.

              So you act like a caricature of an insufferable reddit loser in real life too?
