Two things can both be true, like how a honeybee and a cobra are both venemous. But clearly one is less dangerous than the other.

It’s gonna be a day when liberals learn what a comparison is. Like I openly criticize China sometimes, yeah. I’m a communist after all and we like writing navel gazey critiques. But I live in fucking America, which does vastly more heinous harm to the world in one week than China does in decades. It’s not a contest. Like most of my criticisms of China deal with their foreign policy. They’re too neutral and they do things like sell guns to both sides of a conflict, like they sell guns to both Pakistan and India, and to both Isntrael and Palestine. But compared to what my country does it’s no comparison. America is vastly more evil than China is or has ever been to the point that any criticism I give of China should honestly be dismissed because I’m a fucking American living in the hell country.

I would gladly accept 10x the amount of visible advertising if it meant I got even a fraction of the infrastructure of a typical large Chinese city

Dude I’ve been to Shanghai and from my pea brained American view it was the cleanest and most well designed city I’ve perhaps ever seen. You just compared tacky American bullshit made of parking lots and misery to a lovely walkable space with nice architecture. Like you can spit on the worship of consumerism on Huaihai road, yeah that’s a problem, but it’s at least an area built for human fucking beings to be able to exist outside.

We americans living in freedom are granted the exceptional privilege of choosing to endorse either genocide or also genocide
