Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

No I think you're just in an echochamber that didn't wanna go full doomer because of how capitalist the entire world is. You wanted some hope for socialism so you clung onto China for false hope.

Not support a capitalist hellscape.

Is my religion a joke to you?

capitalist hellscape

Give me a single piece of evidence backing this claim up.

No, but almost all of the openly catholic folks I've met suck. Also, the eastern orthodox church got it right so idk.

You haven't connected chinese capitalism to being a capitalist hellscape. America during the 1970s and 80s wasn't as bad as it is now (in certain ways, mainly poverty) because there was more money around. Regardless of the socialist character or lack there of of china, the country's government has intentionally set the country up for vast investments. China is essentially the only country in the far east that has a declining poverty rate.

The article provided agrees with all of my above points.
