My thoughts are that most Hexbears will default to the laziest, least charitable, kneejerk reading possible as soon as any criticism of China arises, even from sources that are pretty clearly not pro-American.

Interesting piece, thanks for sharing.

I don't know why anyone would feel obligated to take an article seriously when it's just another "China's economy will collapse soon this time, trust me bro" with some added "China wants war with America." It's pseudo intellectual garbage

The western left is desperate to prove that somehow every socalist country isnt true socialism and that TRUE socialism is vooooting for demsoc candidate #565645 who will tots reform the bastion of imperialism into woke cia. After all its easier to imagine the perfect utopia in your head than actual have to deal with the imperfect nature of reality.

This is not a demsoc source, though, it's a collapse/post-civ source.

It is still worth noting that everyone in the West has CIA brainworms until they actively banish them, which takes years of extensive overwriting. The "only adequate socialism is the one that doesn't exist" critique holds fairly well.
