I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

Damn. That's why I don't like the US any more than the CCP. You actually have a deep running problem.

But please do keep in mind that China isn't the solution a lot of you think to be.

I know China's not the solution, but rather the answer is movement within America that could learn from Chinese Marxists and apply their methodology within an American context. International collaboration is the answer, ending American imperialism is the answer, and a fully class conscious American working class willing to shed its nationalist chauvinism is the answer

nationalist chauvinism

That's a new vocabulary for me.
For sure. Blind patriotism is something that I definitely do not get, both in the US and China. It's stupid, alongside blind opposition to socialist policies like basic healthcare and livable wages. I sincerely hope the US improves on that in my lifetime.

American imperialism

I see that in Chinese propaganda too. I may be biased, since I live in the very country the US and China is trying to have an influence in. I could discuss with you about it, the nuances and my perspective of it, but it's way past my bedtime now and I have work tomorrow and other priorities, so I probably won't reply. You are free to message if you want.
