This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.

Why should China be incapable of reaching anything more than one quarter the per capita GDP, with therefore roughly one quarter the living standards, of the U.S.? Is it some xenophobic illusion that the average Chinese person is only one quarter as smart, or only works one quarter as hard, or cannot work out a way to achieve more than a quarter of the living standard of an average American? Or to put it the other way round, that the average American works more than four times as hard, or is four time as smart, or can work out a way to remain living more than four times as well as the average Chinese person?

Well you see actually China uses rote memorization unlike us in the West where creativity™️ and free thinking™️ is taught in schools.

Silly Marxist, that’s why they can’t be richer than us.

It's getting pretty awkward for these people now that China is starting to outpace the west in sci-tech across the board. I guess they're stealing western inventions from the future now. :)

Xi invented Chronomancy because he was jealous of Kim's Necromancy.

@kristina @Neptium For PPP isn't it ⅓?

Edit: yeah I just checked and it's about 30%. Apparently the US's per capita is now 80k? Crazy. Things haven't improved at all since it was just 60k.
