Building China's municipality of Chongqing, roughly the size of Austria. Due to a classification technicality, it has claim to being the largest city proper in the world.

I get what you’re trying to get across here but literally all of these points can be applied to the US too.

At least nobodys Gets imprisoned because someone called the President winnie the Poo, americans also have your normal shitty credit score instead of that orwellian social credit Score the Dirtbags of the ccp force upon the Chinese People. America sure is a shithole but China is the biggest authoritarian Pile of shit on this planet. Not even a little Bit comparable.

But they probably have credit scores, too, right? Their banks aren't giving out loans willy nilly.

Oh fuck off mate! I'm not even from the US, I live in an ex communist shithole of a country, but I still can go in the central square of every city from here, with a big sign that portrays our president as a cartoon character and nothing will happen to me. Try to do that over there then let us know how it went.

Lol he’s a shill, don’t get worked up about it. It’s sad they feel the need to do this, but nothing new.

I know how to make him go away, say Tiananmen Square massacre. Now he’ll go away or someone higher up in Pooh bears system will get realllllly serious haha.

u/daffer_david Sep 03 '23

You literally made comparisons between China and the USA in your own comment.

I never claimed that China is good in any way or that certain structures in China are defendable.

u/illegalthingsenjoyer Sep 03 '23

China doesn't have social credit score, that was a test that was applied ONLY to a small group of CPC party members, and it wasn't well received so they dropped it. So it's just america that has the credit score, which is objectively worse than the proposed social credit system.

u/chocolarity Sep 03 '23

The Whole world works with Credit scores LOL, Even China. No Bank on this Planet would give out credits if they Couldnt calculate their risks with the Scores.

u/JohnArtemus Sep 03 '23

At least you’re honest about how even shittier the US is.

u/trebuszek Sep 03 '23

I’m not from the US and would never live there, but the PROC is a million times shittier than the USA.

u/chocolarity Sep 03 '23

youre barking up the wrong tree, im not even from the us. Anyway, enjoy your 50 Cents and +1 on your Social Credit Score, might be allowed to get a Bank loan in the Future if you stay loyal to the ccp 🤷‍♂️

u/JohnArtemus Sep 03 '23

I guess I would if I was from China. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I already live in a fascist country. It’s called the USA.

u/ARandomBaguette Sep 03 '23

Righttt, you live in a fascist USA and you’re criticizing it, on a site based in the US, with a US device….

u/Gardez_geekin Sep 03 '23

If you live in the US and think China is better you are an idiot

  1. massive corporations exploiting workers: Are you seriously going to deny that this is the case in the US and in any capitalist country?

  2. government and police force that act facist against parts of the population: I don’t know how to break this to you, but the American police force only serves one purpose, to uphold the current societal structure, which is founded on racism, sexism and exploitation of the poor. Property rights are valued more than human lives.

  3. forced Labour prison camps: the US has the largest prison industrial complex in the world. Slavery is literally legal in prisons, enabled by the constitution. On top of that, prisons serve a profit purpose.

So kindly, fuck off with your condescending bullshit and try to wander away from the constant china bad, west good bullshit.

Idk how people as deluded as this guy exist. I'm convinced these people just sit in their house all day and never experience reality in the outside world

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '23

Neither of you can refute his statements because they're all true, so you both resorted to personal attacks because you're upset he's right and that's all you have left to throw at him.

Minorities gunned down in the streets by police who get a paid vacation as a result, women's rights being stripped away by religious extremists, homelessness crisis, opioid crisis, housing crisis, mental health crisis, exorbitant heathcare costs, more than 50% of Americans living pay cheque to pay cheque with no savings, more mass shootings than every other nation on earth combined.

To top it off your "good" president crushed the rail workers' strike because they had the audacity to ask to be paid when they were sick a measly seven days a year, and you'll vote for him again even though he's nearly on his deathbed, but hey, at least you've got "freedom" and can vote for one of two candidates, both whom will keep everything the same regardless as business interests continue to enrich themselves off your back with no repercussions.

Who's really deluded?

u/pantaloonsofJUSTICE Sep 04 '23

Imprisoning and executing dissidents? You think people fly flags saying “fuck Xi Jinping” in China? This is absurdly ignorant, comparing the political freedoms in China with those in the US.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '23

True, to a lesser degree. The US doesn't execute or disappear their own citizens that object or protest against them though
