To be fair China's still a Tyranny even it does based things at times.
Plus they at have to make sure their people don't talk about this shit. The problem in the West is they don't give a shit if you know, they'll lie to you face about oppressing you.
Wow, that was long, since when did I have to go schindler's list on what freedoms I should have based on calling China a tyranny?
As I get older, I'm going more into the idea that ALL STATES are tyrannical whether commie, democratic, monarchical or dictatorial.
China organ harvests it's dissidents, the US organ harvests their aborted children. China suppresses it's people to only speak positive about it's rulers, the West suppresses so that you can't say facts about trans.
Two sides of a shit coin, if I had the power, resources and influence, I'd play ALL sides against each other to kill them all then ensure any stragglers die too so they can't fill the power vacuum. There's no supporting EITHER side unless you want to be a useful idiot, just look at which one at this time and moment provides the best opportunity for yourself and your own community with exit strategies in place for when they inevitably go too far.
You must be young. In mind, for sure, even if not in body. Because libertarianism is something intelligent people discover in their teens and correctly abandon before their 30s.
I don't know where I am mentally as I flip between 'the fuck kids are watching/listening to! Back in my day you didn't have people singing about their pussies and twerking on tv!'
To ' every system of governance is currently fucked right now', there probably is a solution but every solution requires a MASSIVE purge of every institution as they are all currently bloated.
If you stop calling everyone that disagrees with you a 'lib', I'll give you a cookie :)
China's making the same mistake they CONSTANTLY make in the past, believing they are in an unassailable position because the local governors refuse to tell the higher ups the ACTUAL reality (because they will be on the chopping block) and leaving the top party officials in the dark till they get butt fucked.
Happened with the mongols as they were just let in past the great wall because 'Tyranny is worse than a Tiger' (I do love that Chinese saying) and then with the powers of Europe over the 1st and 2nd Opium wars. This time they have bigger toys to play with but their current management over Covid 0 programme has weakened them internally that an attack on Taiwan might be suicidal for China, since America doesn't need to attack the Chinese mainland, they can just help Taiwan and block imports along sea corridors.
Russia isn't in a great state (because autoloaders in tanks were a bad idea) but still in a good position since the boycott by the west actually stopped the stream of propaganda and they still have large resources pools. Don't get me wrong, the West is slowly dying thanks to self-inflicted wounds, but China will join them, India and Pakistan are aways a week away from nuking each other and the Middle East would sooner kill each other.
So TDLR: China is repeating history so gonna screw itself again, West in decline, Russia is fine considering opposition but losing people it shouldn't be losing. Best bet is raise chickens in a rural area outside of any major city.
There's a lot of good stuff in there but the best is
and there's not a doubt in my mind that we'd fare way better in a multipolar world than one dominated by the degenerate empire
This is the part that is perhaps most easily understandable to the people on this board. You don't have to love China and/or Russia. But anything is better than a unipolar world where globohomo rules everything.
