No, you people choose to be ignorant and believe the US government, instead of visiting China yourself or talking to someone in China or doing any research.
Even the CIA, by the way, has stated China has eliminated extreme poverty in the world Factbook.
I get it, a lot of rich white people paid for you to be the way you are; it’s still your fault to remain ignorant.
It’s valuable, it’s not as valuable as the entire rest of the world combined. The US simply doesn’t have the user share to demand the service be sold off.
Please read the output of your LLMs if you’re going to use them, you said:
Well, the American one doesn’t have an incentive to turn its own people against its own government with propaganda. As is happening with Tiktok and pushing pro-CCP and anti-American content.
It’s simply not. It’s allowing Americans to speak freely on America without government interference.
All of that non sequitur is great, but the fact is no foreign country needs to do anything to make Americans hate their government. Nothing. Except provide a platform that allows free speech.
That’s all Tiktok is.
Except homeownership rates, poverty rates, homelessness, illiteracy, class mobility, workers rights, prisoners prisoners per capita…
The US is one of the worst countries given it’s comical amount of wealth, usually coming in at rank 40 or lower by pretty much any stat you choose… Except gross GDP, the number of prisoners, the number of proper capita, the number of slaves working for private corporations, and maternal mortality rates. That’s where the US excels that China simple can’t compete in, arresting people, forcing them to work for profit for companies, and killing women in child birth.
The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?
You want to know how to turn an American against the US government? Tell them, without exaggeration, what their government is doing to them; and tell them, without exaggeration, what other governments do for their citizens.
It’s that simple. No lies needed. No american with an IQ above a glass of undrinkable tap water likes their government or thinks their country is worth anything.
Well luckily the straw man you’re assigning to China only exists in your head.
They’ve eliminated extreme poverty and are on track to eliminate poverty. Given even the poorest citizens don’t worry about rent or medical bills or food costs, their poverty looks incredibly different to that in the US.
…by seeing how shit is lives are in comparison?
I don’t think you understand how many centuries behind China the US is.
Fascism, according to Mussolini, is the combination of state and corporate power, the final stage of capitalism.
That’s, fine, it’s your choice to not use services.
That has nothing to do with anyone else. Simply don’t use the internet.
What is China going to do?
Hell with China’s track record, it’s better that China has it than the US government if you’re in the US.
No, it’s been that way for longer than you’ve been alive, unless you’re in you’re 90s.
No, governments can be great. Fantastic even. Not fascist governments.
The United States, having just elected capital to have exclusive state power, is fascist.
Assuming you’re lgbtq and still in the US, based on you being a blahaj user, those ordinary people are going to remove your right to marry, get medical care, or live openly as a member of the lgbtq.
Ordinary people, not evil people, not ideologues.
You need to recognize those ordinary people you trust were the ones to carry out some of the most evil acts, and all of them believed they were doing the right thing for the greater good. Or don’t and suffer. At this point some of you class traitors deserve what’s coming.
The US government used to take black people, tell them they were getting free medical care, and instead gave them syphilis and purposefully refused to treat it to watch the disease’s progression.
The US government, via the CIA, decided to infiltrate every national news outlet in order to influence what stories were published.
Both of these are proven facts, the last one is from declassified CIA documents.
Yes, there are some normal people in government. But the US government has done some of the worst actions of any group in history.
Bringing up comparators is not deflection. And no, you didn’t refute my claim. Self defense is not offensive wars. You can be peaceful while being forced into war. Peaceful does not mean no violent, simply not seeking violence.
As someone that actively uses Tiktok, no, no it doesn’t remove lgbtq+ content for being lgbtq+. I have no doubts some creators screech about censorship because their nearly nude thirst traps got deleted; but pride is covered every year and at least a few thousand trans creators exclusively owe their treatment payments due to Tiktok giving them a platform and actively boosting them.
Around 5 billion people have smart phones, it was a first world problem a decade or two ago, everywhere has them. Hell for the poorest African nations a person is more likely to own a smart phone than a car or fridge.
