      Yeah, but the difference is when I ask my family back in China how they're doing there's always a noticeable trend of improvement. It's very refreshing when I talk to them and they actually have hope for the future while I'm just waiting for the day I have to grab my SKS and run off into the forest to avoid the anti Chinese lynch mobs.

          There's also the fact that it feels like western "democracy" is especially oriented to the theater of democracy in which abstractive talking points create spectacular ratings but the outcome is damn near 80-90% the same minus whether or not the elected official is regular racist/homophobic/transphobic or a super mega phobe towards anyone not :lmayo:
