Yes, but.

It's China. I guarantee you that loads of people got fucked over one way or the other for this improvement. The Chinese government usually doesn't care much for the rights and lives of the individuals

You say that, but medical debt? Homelessness? Ice concentration camps for brown people? Highest incarceration rates, social credit (credit score), pedophile leaders...

Europeans, feel free to complain about China. Americans have no right to complain about China.

Not to be a tankie, but China taking over the US government would be an improvement

Hate to say it, but unironically, they would be better off under communist China.

The bar is so fucking low.

I AM European.

Having said that, the US is a shit show and the Empire pretty much needs to be rebuilt from scrap at this point but it's still better than China.

If you disagree I would suggest you go to China and start posting lots of tiananmen square videos from the 90's and then tell me which place is better.

yhea, that's not nearly as bad as paying taxes to a pedophile to finance a death camp for brown people.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Please think about that when you're in a nice Chinese re-education camp

You just gotta love people like you who can't fathom simple ideas like "both are really really bad"

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And the West does? Hmm, you learn something new every day.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Plenty of people got fucked over for America's interstate system. You just don't care about them because they're poor minorities

One of the reasons it was built was to demolish black neighborhoods.

Are you suggesting that's why the US hasn't improved trains? Is there something about train improvements specifically that you think is harmful?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

.....

Wut

You read that and were like "who cares about human lives and rights, why doesn't he want trains?"

Yeah, love trains, and as far as I'm concerned the US can replace all its highways with trains

But not at the expense of a couple of humans per kilometers because the government doesn't give a shit, or worse, you're an Uyghur
