Its far more weird how many people pick one of these countries like its a RPG faction. Can we all agree most of these countries do some totally evil things as far as governments go? Who gives a fuck how much debt they're in, they're all just printing their monopoly dollars anyways and we're stuck with the inflation. Its like people like to masterbate to their favorite team via internet comments.
Isn't China undergoing deflation?
I haven't heard about that but I doubt it. Deflation is horrible. It stops economies from functioning. Your money will be worth more the longer you wait to spend it, so you don't spend it until you need to. No government is going to let deflation happen without something going horribly wrong, which it might be, idk.
Edit: apparently the consumer sector experienced deflation. I believe that means it shrank, not the value of money increased over time, which is what is implied by inflation/deflation without other context. I could be wrong though. Either way, it doesn't look great.
I just wanted to say thanks for explaining this in a way that is helpful to idiots like me.
600+ years of "team white Europe" hooligans and you're going to complain about unsportsman-like conduct now that the camp you live in will likely have its economy decimated by successful decolonial projects and rematriation of stolen wealth?
The US is the last torchbearer of the "may our team beat their team" that led to the deaths of nearly a billion people, the utter subjugation and domination of multiple billions constituting 80% of the world population, and now that the US finally shows signs of being in an unstoppable collapse and China is creating the conditions for a new global social order you want to say "hey everybody, just be nice to each other and realize all countries are probably bad to the same degree and anybody winning is honestly just as good or bad as anyone else winning".
Fuck off
Fuck you right in your ass. I complained that everyone in here is pitching their agenda for their favorite country in the comments and what do you do? Exactly that. Learn to read.
You need to learn to distinguish between sports and real life. In real life, we actually engage in historical and political analysis for the purpose of creating better understanding of how societies work so that we can a put our weight behind a better future. In sports we just pick favorites. If you think the people supporting China are just picking favorites, then you are deliberately ignoring everything that goes against your indoctrination and diminishing it so that you don't have to think and challenge your deeply held beliefs. That's a lot of effort to, ultimately, just watch North Atlantic fascism go on a global killing spree. Either disengage from politics entirely or get gud, noob.
I see the issue. You're on Lemmygrad. So naturally everything has to be pro China, pro communism, and the moment someone says "yeah they all suck equally" you have to lick the boot. Seek a prescription for schizophrenia.
Amazingly salient point. It's clearly schizophrenic to have a political position, research it, and then engage in political debate with ignorant people who believe that their uninformed opinions are not merely worthy of being posted in public but also shouldn't be challenged because they are both valid and even-keeeled.
Of course, that's why I joined Lemmygrad, because I decided that team Red was better than other teams, and team Red fans all go to Lemmygrad where we swap stats and gossip about the players and coaches and we root for the red team to build comraderie, sorry, I mean friendships. And then of course we would show up to say "red team good" like a bunch of schizos any time someone says a bad thing about our team because our entire identity is based on whether our jersey wins the world war.
Your grasp of the situation is, of course, astoundingly clear eyed.
:VOMIT:
Ok, with that out of the way, the only one licking boots here is you. No one wants empire to end more than communists. Empire is the antithesis of communism. If you don't understand that, you're ignorant and just shouting things at people based on vibes.
But when you look at an enemy of empire, or a victim of empire, and you repeat imperial propaganda against them, you are indistinguishable from boot licking imperial settler racists. The empire doesn't ask you to love it. The empire only asks that you hate its enemies. And like a good little soldier, that's the position you hold and express and defend like your life depends on it. When someone says"hey the empire is lying and the enemies of the empire aren't actually that bad", you go into a frenzied rage, rabidly trying to convince them they have a mental health disorder and that they are blindly rooting for a sports team and cannot see reality like you can. But you're just ignorant. You don't have any more information or ability to reason than I do. In fact, you demonstrably have less information than I do. Literally everything you can post about China and Russia not only have I already seen but I have also read a dozen analyses on already.
You have been lied to your entire life. It's time to read a book and see the world and the empire for what it truly is. And no, LemmyGrad is not the one licking boots here. It's the people who think NATO is right to expand and stop the evil Russians from their dastardly deeds. It's the ones who think the US war ships in the South China Sea getting pushed out by China's projection of power are victims of Chinese expansionism. It's the ones who think Taiwan and Hong Kong despite being proxies of imperial powers have legitimate claims to autonomy that they should be allowed to use in service of the empire. All of that is boot licking for the empire. And no, it doesn't matter if you express hatred for the taste, because you keep, fucking, doing it.
