So, you know all those bad things you hear about China? State survalience, freedom of movement, free speech. We decided to implement all of the bad things and none of the good things.
Why? Well, because we have to. You don’t want China to WIN THE RACE FOR AI SUPER INTELLIGENCE! Then you’ll lose all your symbolic freedoms that have already been destroyed.
I just want high speed rail man. I just want to go to the grocery store and not spend $100+ for one bag of groceries. I can’t follow recipes, the spices cost $12 or more a piece.
I don’t want to “be China”. I stan for China because despite their many flaws, they are improving and building shit. We can do that here if we learn from the way that they reign in capitalist control. My local library has visible black mold and the librarian is always coughing.
Also, a lot of the “evil state government disappearing people” are things like this:
Say I’m crazy. But I think the death sentence is bad. But, if I was gonna reserve it for anything. I’d reserve it for people that decide to poison baby formula for profit.
Hell, if I was world dictator, I’d mandate than any mother that needed baby formula they could go into any store and get it for free. Meanwhile, we lock up our baby formula behind glass. Because no one in their right mind, sees someone stealing baby formula and thinks “that person is wrong”. I would hope they think “what the fuck is wrong with our society that people are stealing baby formula”
What if we just had a strong regulatory state … but democracy too? Is that too crazy to even imagine? Like… China, but with press freedoms? And open elections?
It doesn’t seem nearly as radical to me as either China or the US presently, tbh.
Seriously. It makes people look bad & hypocritical when all they say is “China bad” while giving other countries like the US passes & excuses on corruption. It’s one reason that makes people like myself stan for China more.
it’s what happens when people let corporate, mainstream media & corrupt politicians brainwash them instead of doing research & having critical thinking.
We’ve known the solutions to all these problems for generations and still choose the most harmful option to prevent then. We put rules in place to torture people because they want different genitals, or because they’re a different color, I’ve never been able to understand how anyone can care so much about any of that!

Personally, I have this crazy idea:

This, this is what I’m feeling!
