healthcare pls

the US’s reputation is absolutely riding on the runoff of its golden years. people getting crushed in the belly of the beast also still believe that ppl want to immigrate here bc of “opportunity” and other such vague-ries

awhile ago there was a youtube video posted here where there was a comment seemingly from someone outside of the US who claimed to hear that we had good healthcare or something. If one isn’t deep in the web it’s hard to know for certain

for example, i have the benefit of living around and having friends who’ve lived or currently live in China. Exchange students in college for example, and that set me straight in my libs years. Just asking about daily life and recognizing that ppl r the same everywhere. Not everyone views the world in that simple way which leads to understand of differences and nuance etc

very cute, whatever

the only sources i can find in english about LGBTQ+ in NK are from the US state dept or that story about the gay “defector” So what is this comment based on? Am I to assume you’ve done your research in Korean and Chinese?

I’m asking in good faith because i don’t know either. The question i’m asking is: what kind of stance is this really? From where i’m at us in the west can’t even know

Thank you for hitting me with a massive amount of hopium. Good luck on your tests, whippersnapper!

Biden handing the future of global development and alignment to China

To me, based entirely on vibes and anecdotal evidence, seems to be the move of big capital. I’ve seen videos of rich kids learning mandarin years ago, Elong Ma desperately wants to keep the Tesla China market, stuff like that leads me to believe that that is the current plan and not a goof.

Trump does not “fumble US foreign policy” he signs off on exactly what the contiguous state dept wants. He was already president and beat obama’s drone numbers, assassinated foreign leaders, and further increased military budget.

I’m not sure exactly which set backs you’re referring to under his presidency tho. i could be missing your point but i heartily agree with @Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net

theyre good sponges to buy tbh

Why compete at all? I think the top Chinese state owned car company could do a bang up job if they owned Nissan and Honda

“The press hates when I say that but he’s an amazing person”

if only this meant some kind of mutual cooperation for the benefit of the people.

for some reason when i was cooking up that heat i forgot the “I” in the article title and was reading it as a duel between a Lib uncle and a Chud uncle

impressive that they’ve got two uncles who can read

millennial anxiety

It’s quite fascinating how far the human psyche will go to literally rebel against the eyes and ears. Libs in the US see & hear daily decay and call it paradise (or at best IRL glibly shrug and assure themselves it’s the best humanity has). Meanwhile Chinese libs see prosperity and feel doom. I don’t like being wrapped in the contradiction sack!!
