we need this as an emoji! @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml

the most unrealistic part of that image is the idea that Americans could actually point China out on a map

But collectively they are yielding a United States that is fundamentally more closed — and more like China in meaningful ways.

How about you stop worrying about how much we are literally doing 1984 and build some high speed rail? Or some new housing? Now that would be more like China in a "meaningful way."

My standards are getting lower for which neoliberals deserve to be put in the ground during/after the revolution.

Could we be the “authoritarian” ones? No, we’re just being defensive.
