Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this

Yeah I’ll take a “dictatorship” like China if it means we get socialized Healthcare, 25,000 miles of high speed rail, affordable housing and nationalization of corporations who have received billions if not trillions in subsidies. American “democracy” certainly hasn’t delivered on any of that.

Ask the Uyghurs how that’s working out for them. Anyone who thinks a fascist dictatorship doesn’t eat whoever they want is lying to themselves. If you’re not a party man (and even if you are that isn’t a bulletproof vest) you’re not going to have a life worth living.

I bet nazi germans were cool with living in the reich, too. Just look at all those jewish companies they were given! Who wouldn’t want that. /s

If you want to play this game, maybe you should google the highest prison population in the world and the racial nature of their for-profit prison labour system.

    Pointing out that the source of an accusation has an obvious motive to lie and a long history and extremely well documented history of this specific type of dishonesty for this specific motive isn’t “whataboutism”, you’re just mad because you know they’re right and you don’t have a coherent defense

People with far more credibility than the US and our lackeys have already investigated in person, if you don’t feel like listening to them you can and should visit in person and investigate for yourself Image

You’re going to have to come up with a counter benefit we don’t also have under U.S. democracy. Unless you think there is no comparison? I’d be happy to discuss that with you.

    Because your only hope of propping up your dying ideology is to actually make good arguments and persuade people? But you suck ass at that so yeah you should probably just give up

    I never said that. I said China has socialized Healthcare, thousands of miles of high speed rail connecting hundreds of cities all with their own robust public transit systems, they have affordable cars, housing, food and education. I’m saying thr U.S. has none of that. How did U.S. “democracy” absolutely fail where a China “dictatorship” succeeded?
