For me the pivotal moment was witnessing how Chinese authorities responded to the Hong Kong protests vs. how US authorities responded to the George Floyd protests.
Weird.
America doesn’t want to be liked; it wants to be feared.
Not entirely wrong for sure, but sounds like something someone who just lost their meticulously built popularity would say.
The US spent enormous resources since WWII to portray itself as the good guy on the world stage.
seems like it’s failing on that front as well though
This happened during Trump 1 and then Biden got elected and China was bad again. I’ll be fully convinced when the US elects a Dem and this trend still continues
It will continue.
Competent vs incompetent managers of empire.
Everyone else: China please save us from the deranged bully that is the US
China: *continues to play alone with their trains and EVs
they that cannot save themselves will not be saved
I mean I wish they were more militant and think they’ve gone to far in the other direction in trying to avoid the missteps of the USSR, on the other hand I’m some random internet commentor while the CCP is a collective of very intelligent people who have studied history, Marxism, military strategy etc more than I have and have better and more accurate information on current events than me trying to derive the truth from multiple biased public sources, so I still I think their strategy will work out for humanity long-term as the decline of the US moves along
It’s not up to them, we have to save ourselves. No one saved them, why can’t we save ourselves?
Nah u right. I wish they stepped in to stop the American death and destruction.
Maybe America should stop oppressing most of the world if it wants to be liked?
one of these countries is the mastermind behind an ongoing genocide and constantly bullies the rest of the world’s nations with threats and actions ranging from sanctions to invasion
and the other is china
media frames it in reverse
I’m in the US and I’m starting to feel the same way
Fuck the terrorist states of USA and Israel.
A trend that will only continue to grow.
Well, it’s not exactly a tough choice between one country that will bomb you or kidnap your elected leader if you go against its wishes, and another that will respect your choices…
and also makes all the stuff you use day to day
Good job JDPONDon
Holy moly those two guys look weird
Something frying pan something fire
If anything they’re jumping from the fire to the frying pan.
Out of the 46 bombs dropped per day average frying pan, into the hasn’t been at war(Sino-Vietnamese war ended in 1979) for 46 years fire?
A few typos in there
