A scathing review of the West.

How is the U.S. going to stabilize it's deficit and the dollar? How could the U.S. possibly do this?

@enchantedTheir building are collapsing because they are moving so fast. Its not a good thing to rush like that. While being authoritative is better for getting things done they steal from the people.

Jayant Bhandari is positive on China.  

"This is a perspective on China you'll never hear in the mainstream media. Indian-Canadian investment advisor Jayant Bhandari, drawing from 16 years of firsthand experience, presents a stunningly contrarian view. In his eyes, China is not only home to what he calls "the most capitalistic economy in the world," but is also a society of astonishing safety and efficiency. From its incredible value-for-money services and high degree of social safety to its breathtaking systemic efficiency, Bhandari's personal accounts directly challenge the dominant media narrative. This rare testimony from "the other side" forces us to ask: How much of what we think we know about China is shaped by the media, and how much is based on on-the-ground reality?"

@Jodistrict Nice share. We’re gonna see so much cope in the next decades lol

We have to get our shit together to tackle the changes AI is going to bring. Perhaps that will bring the world together better than Covid did.

@EskilonIve used their AI music generator and it sucks. Their ai is more censored than ours.

How are their roads highly developed? I have seen their architecture crumble after 6 years.

Their urban planning sucks you dont even know if you are on the ground or not. They have trains that go through apartment buildings where people live.

I very rarely see building just fall over in the west. I don't think I've ever seen it.

I saw they built a bridge in China that collapsed in a week. 

This is all anecdotal. China is leading the world in tech advancements. The US doesn't invest in its citizens while China does. Americans do not have access to quality, affordable education or healthcare so there will be no way to compete. China is on the rise and will be much better place as a healthy nation.

A similar process is happening in America - the old, vested capital interests are proving unable and unwilling to address the vast needs of the people of the nation, but a new, highly mobalised grassroots version of democracy is taking shape to resist it (enabled by the rise of social media and spearheaded by figures like Bernie, Mamdani, AOC, and even liberals like Pete Buttigieg and John Pritzker IMO.) 

The oligarchs won't allow this to happen. I think the US is a sinking ship. They're keeping us in the dark, making us sick and poor as a means of control. They don't want us rising up and I don't think there's anything we can do to stop it.

America will shift out of 1980’s style Wall Street orgies and bravado and to more communal-minded civic participation and celebration

Community is the only way Americans are going to survive once the authoritarian regime is firmly in place. Poverty, sickness, and crime is what's coming. Start preparing now.

The media uses hope as a means to keep us addicted to content. Don't fall into that trap.

@Breathe do you live in China? Or is this someone else's anecdote? You sound like a shill. Nothing I've seen about China backs what you are saying. Show me a peice of media that backs what your saying that isn't created by the ccp.

I'm guessing there isn't one cause there banned all foreigners except the paid shills.

@Hojo You keep talking about small observations and then jumping to inaccurate conclusions. This is what I mean by anecdotal.

Feel free to checkout out Richard Wolff as a source. He talks about the rise of China all the time.

What China did was notice catastrophic effects of unchecked capitalism. They maintain a good share of control over the economy but they also allow free trade. They just don't let free trade get out of control. Long ago they decided that they'd offer cheap goods to the rest of the world. There were growing pains, but they had a long term strategy, and eventually grew into a superpower. It was quite brilliant actually. One of the things that China does, and so does India, is the teach kids match at a very young age. The Chinese are much better equipped. It is mandated by parents and the government alike. China sees what the future holds so it invests in its citizens so that it is competitive.

This is anecdotal... I work in tech and the smartest people in my field are almost always Chinese. They do not fuck around.
