The CEO of fantasizes about being a slaver warlord in the fantastical Fallouterino wastes, and even bragged about getting his vision surgically corrected so he could "snipe looters."

You don't need to be a CEO to have this mindset. Look at war tourism, most of the gravy seals who go to war think they can pulverize some third world people while listening to phonk is just pure cope. We all know that some poor local with nothing to lose are all to gain can pop those main characters (tm) with a rusty AK while wearing sandals.

Depends really, my family relative in China don't really complain about a lot to the degree about toppling the government. A lot of stuff we perceive as unthinkable in the west (a functioning public transport, low cost of living, etc) are taking for granted.

They do have complains about the bureaucratic aspect of the government and also the healthcare system (especially important for my parent's and grand parent's gen as they get older).

There is also a lot of generational gap that influences opinions. My grand parent's generation are very mixed towards the party (from uncritical support to very negative) (my mother side were bandits prior 1949 and my dad's side are landlords). My parent's generation are more positive as they were the one benefitting the most of the reform and opening up. My generation is apathic as competition is very fierce to the point that some people don't see career advancement as something that is doable (less interested into the governance aspect of the country)

There is also a lot of gap in opinions depending of where you are from (ei. Urban vs countryside). Since my family moved to cities throughout the generations due to the five years plans I can't really comment on the countryside aspect of stuff

Make these people' watch Thread because they seem to believe that not getting fried in the first strike is a win

They never know what it's like to dig trench with shovel to build ''bunker'' that are more like 1.5 meter deep trench to prep for an eventual nuclear war

When Nixon said: ''we are all Keynesians''. It is just a dogwhistle for he upholds Mao's New Democracy

Kind of make sense that Opium is eradicated since there is an embargo preventing export, causing an economy collapse. Any government regardless of their ideology leanings that wants to preserve power would switch their cash crops into sustenance crops.

See Cuba and the DPRK after the 90s or China post-split

Again this is not a pro-Taliban statement, this is just how insurrection happens to take over a country by building a parallel economy and governance within the country or global economy (see 1st Chinese Civil War until the defeat of the KMT by the communist force)
