Should you choose to engage in good faith, further discussion is welcomed once you have reviewed the content.

Well, not that those aren't useful in some capacity, there's the question of hauling groceries and such home, not to mention we need protection from the elements with increasingly brutal summers, and also violent thunderstorms. There's the question of these things being able to trek through deep snow too, to consider.

I guess you could just fit it with baskets and wear a big backpack... but honestly, how far down the hole do we have to go here?

Right, exactly, thanks for this detailed explanation.

Of course.

I wrote the first point specifically because I saw how that contradicted the situation at hand, but it is what I previously believed about protectionism.

Yep, just wanted to reinforce your second thoughts on the matter as being valid.

Also thank you for the video, really captivating explanation there.

A non-white nation surpassing the West in all respects, while the latter stews in arrested national development and full-spectrum decay.

They have nothing more to say, really. China is physical and social proof of a superior form of governance by the proletariat. Hell, even a single video from the channel Living in China is enough to shut people up and shatter Cold War world views in most cases. What can you honestly say when the proof is just right in front of you? The narratives would have to become increasingly cartoony and absurd.. and they are.. and it's not working anymore.

China doesn't need the imperialist countries anymore. Too fucking bad for them. They don't get to be the masters and keep their boots on everyone's necks anymore. Their race theory is also shot to shit now, so they've lost pretty much everything they used to rely on to legitimize themselves.

American exceptionalism. They believe everyone owes them a red carpet, limousines, a VIP room and blowjobs on demand.

I'm going to relish every single second of the hysteria coming from those types as their hegemonic privileges wither away with the rise of China and the Global South.

We all need our creative outlets. It's good for our esteem to make stuff we like, that isn't primarily intended to serve someone else.

I've made a couple sites too that I have saved for time capsule purposes, and I genuinely enjoy viewing them once in a great while.

Perhaps they already are

Literally all you are doing by getting into "the system" is switching classes. It's no big mystery why these so-called "progressives" that hold seats in the halls of bourgeois power become more revisionist and reactionary over time.

Good luck finding a politician that has resisted this trend. There aren't many, if any at all. I would love to retract this statement by being proven wrong, though.

Us filthy "libs" are a bit more mobile than you lot. I've lived in a lot of countries, and I've visited half the world including China which is why I don't need to engage any further on this.

This is a fantastic way to piss off poor and marginalized people, flaunting your privilege and using it in a context to assert some flavor of chauvinistic superiority over us. You're only digging the grave of your class further and further by being a jerk that thinks their own shit doesn't stink, which is fine with me as I enjoy skipping to the end of direct class conflict. The people you step on are the vast majority on this planet, and they recognize which class actually shares their interests based on how they are treated, so you're just giving us more comrades and bolstering solidarity by throwing them into our open arms, critical support to you in that regard.

You said you've "visited China"... When? When precisely did you visit China, and where did you actually go? What's your story here?

You are singing the praises of a country that is a living hell for 99% of its inhabitants, even moreso than filthy capitalist strongholds.

Complete projection here. Everything you said is basically true in regards to specifically the United States, but also the Western world in general, which is only worsening in living conditions for the working class as time goes on. You failed to elaborate on why you assert China to be a "living hell" for 99% of its inhabitants. Do you have any actual tangible examples, or is this just like all the other bullshit claims that are taken at face value as Gospel Truth because liberal media monopolies in the West, with the US at its core and main source, endlessly hammer these things into the heads of the population?

See, unlike you, a person who speaks, condescends and sneers from an ivory tower of privilege, the vast majority of us cannot afford to just take luxury vacations and go wherever we want. Your demographic treat the poor of other countries like zoo animals, finding it a good time to travel to poorer places and ooo and awe at the less fortunate to reinforce your confidence in grandstanding to flex and scoff at those that oppose your class interests and intend to fight against them.

Here. I may not have the wealth to travel around the world, but I'm resourceful enough to have found some concrete examples of this "living hell" you spoke of. Check it out:

Next time you want to talk about socialist nations being inferior to the living hell that capitalist nations have cultivated for their own people, bring receipts. If you refuse to engage in the concrete examples I have provided, don't even bother replying because I'm not interested in bad faith conversation.
