I may not like the CCP, but you have to give credit to where it is due. The government is run by pragmatic technocrats with long term vision. These are the characteristics that America has lost long ago. It is so ironic and funny that it is China who is the promoter now of international free trade.
After "gun violence", he should've added "gun violence against children".
She’s talking about the population density of fascists. America is first and China is last
Wtf are you talking about? China is also fascist, although in different ways.
No they aren’t and you should go read some of Robert Paxton’s books on fascism if you think they are.
Populism FIRST. FFY
I think it's perfectly fair to prioritize yourself first. Politicians should do that.
But why does she want China last? That's just hatred.
I remember when political news were pictures of people shaking hands and making trade agreements. These days it's all screenshots of social media posts made from someone hiding in a basement or gated community. Trump refusing to answer a telephone call from Canada while using his phone to tweet out more bullshit is a new low.
American politics might be two sided team game, but international politics are not. Unfortunately for the republicans, they desperately need an opponent to make themselves relevant. They simply don't have anything else to offer.
Casual racism is very American.
Neither country really has a leg to stand on here. China sucks too.
Taiwan #1!
I think China will.take the Taiwan #1 and use it as an argument that they, in fact, are #1
The circus is in town! Two clowns duking it out in the digital colosseum: one's waving a flag, the other's throwing shit. Meanwhile, we're all fucked sideways by the system they represent. But sure, keep tweeting your little hearts out while Rome burns. At least the engagement's good, right? Christ, we're so far down the rabbit hole, Alice would need a fucking space shuttle to find us.. Pass the soma, I'm checking out.
China's system is better than the US's
Nowhere close lol
No, both are bad, you don't want a social credit system
To be fair, we have no idea how many COVID infections or deaths China had or how many prisoners they have. It isn't like they are the most transparent with either matter.
Everything else he said checks out. 🇺🇲
We have 2 million prisoners for 330 million people.
They claim 1.6 million prisoners for their 1.4 billion people.
Even if it were double what China claims, per capita we keep far more of our people in bondage, because we found and disgustingly prioritize the private profit in it. More prisoners for private for profit prisons, and more slave labor leased out to for profit corporations.
We put people in cages using any excuse to increase quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. "Land of the free," Lo fucking L.
Who told you that the US government?
Joke's on this guy, US is first at all of those!
It’s also a bit rich that the Chinese dude gets labeled by X as ‘state affiliated media’ (which it probably is) but X itself apparently not? Which it definitely is.
This whole screenshot is basically one state's propaganda machine vs. another.
Just because the Chinese propaganda machine is acting the straight man in this particular interaction, doesn't mean they don't have skeletons in their own closet
A broken clock something something.
Yeah, while I agree with some of his jabs - it is immensely ironic that China is #1 in two of mentioned anti-US criticisms.
Go figure two assholes in a room and no one smells good
Yo very unrelated, but thank you for mentioning that phrase "skeletons in their own closet"! I've been listening to a song for a few months which uses that metaphor and I couldn't exactly figure out what it meant (it's in Greek and didnt expect that phrase to exist in english too). (This is the song if you care, lol.)
And now you're here!
as a canadian, i think it’s pretty safe to say the US is not first in much these days.
things have changed. a lot.
What are you talking about? He literally listed a bunch of things we're first at!
Have you seen our defense budget?
Taiwan #1!
Aka; the rightful government of the entirety of China. May Taipei occupy Beijing once more
Occupy or liberate? I would say liberate, right?
Stefanik is so dumb - it’s America Second.
Israel is first.
Prison population tho?
Not sure if dead people (that israel genocided) count as "prisoner"
*Third after number one, Elon's self-esteem.
Legally murdering it's own citizens in droves in capitalist confidence schemes like the Healthcare Insurance scam industry to increase private stockholder profit?
🇺🇸 We're number one! 🇺🇸
Pot, kettle ... a pox on both their houses?
I do not like this meme much. I grew tired of stock photos for "r/clevercomebacks".
Wow! What a smackdown.
Ok I'm not defending her here but this is a stupid reply because she's obvuously referring to prioritizing the interests of America, not that America is #1.
He's not wrong in what he said, it's just the wrong tweet to dunk on.
When has the US been anything but USA first, everyone else last in the last 70 years?
When someone doesn't speak in complete sentences it is likely harder to translate with proper understanding.
Put America's priorities first and America comes in first can be shortened to the same two words. What we know for sure is we don't put education first.
Be like China. Make up your own statistics.
You’re always best if you put your finger on the scale.
The "wolf warriors" used to come in hot a.f.
My response would be to ask what brand of brainwashing soap they use on their people.
