    Yeah, its amazing what happens when people have access to the internet and are freely able to see a country that was once touted as an authoritarian nightmare is actually delivering well for its people. While ours isn’t providing for anyone but the pedophilic elite and is actively turning into a far worse authoritarian nightmare.

      what’s actually happened is that the usa started doing the bad stuff china did more visibly, and people went “well at least china doesn’t bomb iran and has functioning bridges”
