You're right, but that's not the point. Being afraid that another state will become the leading superpower and "dictate the international order" when your oligarchical country has been doing the same thing for the past 70~ years, and not in a "cuddly as Mickey Mouse" way, is HILARIOUS. The doublethink is off the charts! hahahaha.





America has been truly 'oligarchal' for approximately the past one month, whereas China has been a totalitarian state for the better part of a century.

Why not compare the Allies with the Axis next? The US was segregated, right, so... hey, same difference! /s


The US has a pretty extensive 100+ year history of imperialism, destabilization and violence in LATM [1], which is where they are from.

Everyone knows that.

A surprising number of people don't seem to know the first thing about China. Hey, it might not help that China doesn't allow a fifth of the world to learn the history of China.

But let's talk again in four years. The way things are going in America, I may agree with you guys by then :(
