Your feelings think they will do evil in the future just because, my feelings say they won’t, because China understands the importance of pleasing other countries, they are not like America who constantly seeks to profit off death like in Gaza. China is shady, but not as much as you are painting them to be. I’d say the same if it was America, at some point, countries will complain about that monopoly and shit will have to be done about it.

All companies control their own rare patents and resources, all of them use slave labor as well, and meddle with the law through the congressmen they funded with their mega donations. The oil lobby and car lobby constantly share the same whores and drugs in the yatch. The fact they couldn’t keep up with China in innovation says more about them than China. If they are not winning the people, then they deserve to lose and disappear forever, because they fucking suck, according to the people themselves who voted with their wallet, their money, period. Skill issue, get good or get eaten.

By the way, I thought the most powerful government on the planet was the USA, I am glad that finally changed. I rather China be under the spotlight, not a country ran by a pedophile.

This is what capitalism is. Deal with it, or start supporting socialism and communism so the people can own the means of production, so laws listen to the people’s interests and not some few billionaires’. Otherwise, we will keep getting monopolies everywhere.

Because you are most likely a MAGA who falls for Zionist propaganda like the shock collar bullshit. Why would anyone give a fuck what someone that stupid has to opine? You are easy to manipulate, like, really easy.

So, capitalism is bad or what? Just tell Western companies to lock in and stop fucking around. You only convinced me to consider a Chinese EV even more, because you have no evidence they will enshittify other than your negative vibes about China. Western ones, in the other hand, are already enshittified. I highly doubt a Monopoly will ever happen, you make it sound like absolutely all car companies will disappear, as if they won’t be able to adapt, like capitalism dictates they will.

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying there. You’re also right about being kind can be more effective, but it has gotten really hard, they successfully wrecked my tolerance. Picture it:

1. I am chronically online because I am a Mexican who couldn’t go outside because of the insecurity, homicides, narcos. I’d hear gunshots near my house, and I live next to my city’s major residence, just to paint the picture of how bad it was in 2012-2014.

2. Your grand-grandfather escaped from Lebanon and Gaza, which are currently being invaded. Your small brother has Down Syndrome, he can’t talk, can’t clean himself, can choke on food, and then you see people online wishing people like him didn’t exist just because they make them uncomfortable.

3. Videogames, the Internet and school were my only human interactions. Parties and hanging out with your friends wasn’t as possible, it was a gamble for your life, one I still took with my cousin, a narcissist junior who’d treat me like a shadow, mock me for being overweight, humiliate me in front of his friend, but would still treat me like a brother in private, I took long to grow respect for myself; would go to sketchy places at 1AM, I didn’t care, but still, that was the vibe for a long time during my childhood and others’. It fucked many of us up.

4. The “Meta of life” seems to be: the more evil you are, the more rewards. It’s difficult not to lose your mind in a world like that, especially if you have seen nothing but death your whole life, uncensored, on TV, newspapers, and the 5x times amount of weirdos at school who’d come and show you an illegal video, a snuff film of a kid our age getting beheaded just to be edgy and say they can handle it. For every weirdo like that you had in your school, we had five because we were seeing fucked up shit on the news, at home, and in social medias too, people taking photos of recent shootings or events. Always graphic. I compared that to how America reports homicides, say a school shooting, and they were lucky they are more censored and prude, they’d blur things more. Ours didn’t give a fuck for years. For empathetic people is worse, we can “feel” the pain more vividly of the people in the videos. I even had to see my middle school Spanish teacher dead in her car next to her son whom I had personally talked to at school, both filled with bullet holes. Apparently her husband was involved in sketchy shit, she had botox in all her face, she was mean, but I still felt disgustingly bad seeing that ending for them, in a newspaper, uncensored.

5. Lost faith in my government. I think the US has a lot of influence over it, so I thought paying attention to US’ politics is more productive to us, even if I get belittled for trying to opine about it without living there. I used to admire the US, I would hate whoever they hated, but ever since the “grab them by the pussy” scandal in 2016, I have encountered nothing but hate, anger, insults, even while I was very kind, everyday, even in irrelevant places like an Overwatch or CoD match. If I speak in the mic, I attract a lot of racists because of my accent. I have my mic disconnected now, for everything I play, I don’t socialize anymore, I play solo. They started with the “snowflake” insult because we were being “too nice” and so on… It’s been a whole decade of disappointment and injustice after disappointment and injustice like that, and I can’t just tune out and ignore it, my country is on fire everywhere I go. “Politics” forced its way inside our home long ago, and dude’s still here, emptying our fridge. We can’t do anything about it, because violence is bad, we keep getting told. We have to curl into a ball and take it all in. No matter how hard we try the legal way, these wages and opportunities are going to kill us very slowly and silently, with a mediocre conformist life.

The bar increasingly amped up, it really sucks. It’s hard for me to not feel a lot of anger when I see even the slightest bit of red anymore, I really hate it, I used to be super chill, I had a YouTube channel where I made people laugh with goofy ass animations, my weird accent and nothing else. I still love being goofy, but fuck, I think they successfully depressed a lot of people with their doomscrolling algorithms and bots. I don’t see the endgame of that, I refuse to believe they want us to attack them, because that’s what it feels like: they are provoking us, laughing in our faces, especially with the Jeffrey files thing. I don’t get it. Are they pulling an Ozymandias from Watchmen or what? They aren’t that smart, or that benevolent. It has to be excessive narcissism, they don’t sound that different from an insecure childish narco who will happily blow your head off just for rubbing them off a little. Homelander, literally.

Even when I summarize, they will shit on the ideas and intent. I do still keep it short and kinder in other platforms, like YouTube. It’s only in Reddit and Lemmy where I write this long, I don’t know why, I always saw these online forums as that. 4chan (have never used it, but have seen posts), general forums from the 90s, etc. sometimes had sizeable walls of text.

All I’m gonna opine last is: I believe we should somehow convince people of reading more. That’s it. An educated society is what they fear the most. I will try and do better, get up again if I fail. I am betting on “humiliate people who believe might makes right,” which are most of the Alpha Male type of people, right-wings who think they are winning, but still can’t afford a family. There are plenty of those here in Lemmy, but yeah, they are rare. I am wasting these on people who don’t deserve this level of flak or anger, I will leave, I already said everything I could say in Lemmy anyway. To keep repeating it is just going to be pointless. I will try and rely on short one-line jokes again, these didn’t work.

There is a word limit in these boxes of text. That means the people behind this platform decided that there should be a maximum amount of characters that they consider the “maximum reasonable amount of text a human of this community might read in a post”. You are seeing that limit in my comment. It’s literally one single page of any book in a library.

As I told the other person; people on both sides are conditioning themselves to hate reading long texts. That’s very dangerous, and one big reason we are all in this shithole we yearn to get out of. We need to educate ourselves, but, it’s hard when people can create an insane lie in just a sentence, while you need walls of text to properly dismantle it. It’s hard to do it justice with that amount. I guess that’s why I never used Twitter in my life, the limit. I love reading people’s thoughts, no matter how long. Hate to see that social medias are truly weakening us, because this only benefits the elite, the rich who want us dumb, the Jeffrey Epstein class, and I don’t think I am exaggerating, we all know they want us dumb, so. This is what part of that looks like: People who hate to read more than 500 words in like 3 minutes or even less. I think it’s over. They won, man. GG. I will keep writing, but only because it feels good and liberating, that’s all there is to it. I will just have to ignore the repetitive comments. I’ve seen them since I was 12, lol, they just became way more brazen and common, it sucks.

Don’t worry, this is my last response then, read it all or not, up to you, I don’t wanna further bore you so:

MAGAs can create a lie in one sentence, but you need walls to do it justice when dismantling it. Both sides are conditioning themselves to not read long texts, so, yeah, gg. This will benefit MAGAs the most, hence the reason I call everyone who says these things a MAGA, to quickly shame them, because I truly see it as part of their culture. I have never said anything like that in my life, ever since I was 12, I love reading the thoughts of people. Yeah, we are all different, but, why publicly complain, though? Just don’t read the rest and that’s it. Why announce to people that you didn’t read the rest? What do you get from that other than look lazy and inspire others to be lazy too?

MAGAs are known for being anti-intellectual. Not saying that I say intellectual shit, I know I am crude and offensive, I can see you pulling an insult there, but, the mere action of reading, conditioning your brain to consume a lot, which is an important pillar for that; they don’t do that, and they are proud of it. Why sound like them? MAGAs are the ones who always abuse the “Too long didnt read lol” “take your meds, schizo, old man, grandpa” “i am not reading all of that, libtard” etc. They use the most banal and primitive responses possible. I hate to see people who were supposed to be the “smart side” sound very similar in that aspect too, you know? Treat reading like they treat the gym; as something only the strong can do, which is real anyway; you do need resilience to read long texts, or else you get a headache.

Using social medias as a reason is just heartbreaking. Just another reminder that they are truly weakening people. We need to educate ourselves more than ever. Class consciousness and all that. Teachers are quitting, they are not getting paid enough, they are being replaced with cheaper lazier ones who use AI to assign and grade everything. To keep this “reading sucks” attitude is just going to further shrink your dicks and hurt everyone in the long run. At least consume a lot of movies and TV shows, and I mean a lot, all of IMDB’s top 250 movies, shows, animations, even if it’s background noise in a secondary monitor. That’s at least a lot better than not reading at all if you find it that annoying.

Why? I just got called “Kash Patel” and it seems genuine. Am I missing something or why are you defending something so stupid? And who are you who found this comment I just posted 2 minutes ago, in a 15-day old post? The chances of you being in this post the moment this comment popped up is so low.

Dude, to call any of this CIA or whatever, that’s crazy. I despise the US right now. Nothing of what I said benefits the rich or Kash Patel’s career, what the fuck? I literally encouraged people to burn data centers down. This has to be a joke, come on

So, you are telling everyone that you are likely someone who cannot read a lot? Be it academic papers, articles, whatever. Boring or fun, you just can’t. Call my style bad, or opinions bad, whatever, the point is you cannot read long texts. You imply “walls of text wander you down.” Dude, don’t you see how bad that looks? Why should anyone listen to you if you are likely someone who does not read, can’t finish a book, etc.? It’s such a MAGA thing to do.

It’s crazy that I have to write less than 50 words to have an ounce of attention from people now. I am a writer, I write books, I can see literacy is truly dead. “Reddit” literally means “Read it”, so, what the fuck? (Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, so) Why do people use apps that are made for reading, and then complain about a long read? It looks so ignorant.

Why would people listen or trust someone who probably can’t finish a book? Let alone a few paragraphs in an app made for reading, literally. I don’t get it. It’s such a MAGA thing to do.

Punishing billionaires will never be one.

And fawning over a billionaire who wanted to make even more money is not?

Since when do we feel sympathy for billionaires like Jack Ma? Why are people angry that the CCP did the right thing? America should had done the same with Elon Musk when he did the Sieg Heil in national TV, because he not only embarrassed the entire country, he put absolutely every single American in danger now, because foreign people like me now want to see the USA be removed from the global map because they pretty much screamed to the world that they are ok with a literal Nazi having that much power and influence over you. They should have kidnapped him and “reeducated” him, but no, instead, Elon is now reeducating millions of young men through Twitter. Turning them into violent toxic bigots. He is guiding them toward their graves; and here you are, still talking shit about China the same way Trump or Lindsey Graham or most MAGA politicians do. What the fuck? At least China is not being ran by a pedophile, and they don’t have anything remotely close to a cult like MAGA. I haven’t had a single negative interaction with the Chinese people I have replied to online; they are as polite as the Japanese, but a lot less xenophobic and elitist. With Japanese people or South Koreans, once they find out I am a Mexican, some of them start treating me like I am inferior, for some reason, they say things only an American hog would. Same with South Koreans, they have some Western influence on them, and it sucks. Most of the negative interactions I have had with Chinese is always over technical/academic stuff, like being bad in a videogame, or getting a line of code wrong, they are more harsh there, but rarely racism or identity attacks.

Jack Ma wasn’t even reeducated, he was just forced into silence because he challenged the CCP by pretty much saying “your banks are clueless, your regulators are old men, and my technology is the future” during that Shanghai Finance Summit, whatever it was. I remember Jack Ma sharing some weird ideas with Elon Musk years ago, I won’t say they are the same, but imagine if Elon Musk did something like that, implying he should become the head of the future. You’d want that? Wouldn’t you wish your government stopped him too? Or what? Do you trust Elon Musk? Do you love him? Do you think he’s sexy every time he speaks like a shy kid who just shat his pants?

It’s so weird that that’s the only thing leftists and republicans agree with with the same passion: Hating China. It used to be Russia too, but it only took a few weeks to change that. Don’t you find that weird?

I wonder how will Americans ever deal with the increasing amount of racists and MAGAs that are breeding in their country without ever resorting to authoritative policies that will make them look worse than China. I want to believe a strong reason China is the way it is is because of the Opioid Crisis caused by the UK and India, and the genocide caused by Japan around 1930. The way people fawn over Japan but hate China makes that propagandized bias more obvious. And I have my own criticisms about China, I wouldn’t want to live there, I still prefer Mexico, but god damn, when compared to the USA, I prefer China. Your marvel movies, TV shows and videogames like Fallout always depicted the Chinese and Russians as absolute evils, as malicious, always spying or planning something big in their heads to destroy you for the sake of it, for fun or money or power, I don’t know, but that shit is still ingrained in you.

Btw, “just move to X country” shall never be a reply, ever. Everyone should know by now that, thanks to capitalism and the Jeffrey Epstein Class, about 80% of the entire world cannot afford to do something like that. It’s always the cheapest and most ridiculous answer I see online, to avoid facing the fact that some governments are objectively better, less evil than others, even if they all suck.
