Even the US state dept admitted in leaked cables that Xi is not corrupt and does not care about money when they were trying to find his weaknesses lol

It's not in any sense "hyper" capitalism to begin with, it's a limited form of capitalism while the working class maintains political control via the CPC and the stage maintains ownership of the commanding heights of the economy, for starters. And since the CPC has made good on pretty much all of its stated goals (usually ahead of schedule) and consistently improved conditions for everybody in the country for decades on end, what reason do I have to doubt their process?
Do they even do Latin masses outside of the Vatican anymore? I mean I'm sure they do some places but how common is it?
In the capitalist world the rich and the poor are both equally free to sleep under a bridge! Likewise anybody is free to start or buy a billion dollar media press outlet or social media giant, that's why it's important that no restrictions are ever placed on false and harmful reactionary speech!
Which terrible ideas?
What difference would that even make?
In the US corporations do the censorship and it isn't better. Also, if that trumps everything for you, a reexamination of priorities is probably in order. There are actually more important things than reactionaries being able to say whatever they want online. Facebook was used to help commit genocide in some countries for example, is that OK for you or should the calls for genocide have been censored?
I'm not from China but I've been there and it isn't hard to speak with people from China to learn that it's not some dystopia. US is hands down far more of a police state.
No it isn't, that's laughable. The US has far and away the worst most heinous surveillance of its citizens, not to mention the citizens of other nations as well. Try reading a summary of what Snowden revealed about the US state surveillance programs for instance
I legit can't tell if this is a joke lol. Which country do you live in that doesn't have a lot of cameras? I have awful news for you if you live in the US or the UK.

He's one of the people from a podcast called Chapo Trap House, which is the podcast that inspired the subreddit /r/chapotraphouse. This lemmy instance formed for all of us to get together after that subreddit was banned by the Reddit admins for being too left wing. Let me know if you have any other questions about it and I’ll try to help you out, all irony aside.
