These idiots think the US is only now losing its "dominance," capacity to innovate, and ability to "outcompete" globally—like this is some sudden revelation. It’s hilarious. Even the most 'awakened 'amongst them are highly deluded.
They can’t wrap their heads around the fact that the US is incapable of thriving in high-tech manufacturing because its infrastructure is in shambles, there’s no real capital control (capitalists just dump money freely into low-capex, intangible software instead of tangible industries), and the leadership needed to succeed in hard industries simply doesn’t exist, that's why their
business culture is focused toward these software areas of tech fundamentally from the beginning.
So they cope by pretending high-tech manufacturing isn’t that "high-tech" or doesn’t matter anymore and
only software exists as high tech, only LLMs exist, etc. But, now even there, their bubble has burst in this 'soft' area too.
Meanwhile, advanced drones, aerial imaging, EVs, electric batteries, humanoid robots, industrial AI, IoT, telecommunications, computer vision, and logistics, and physical AI in general, fields where China is miles ahead, were always considered "less amazing" than the US's stagnant,
redundant software sector, or totally ignored by their CIA brainwashing media.
And even in software, not only hardware, the US lost their ground not too long ago, but they can just mask it better. First TikTok
algo and now DeepSeek
algo blew them out of the water, briefly causing some soul-searching before the CIA propaganda machine slaps the blinders back on.
This is what happens when an entire society, full of hubris and run by non-technical midwits, runs on fuzzy vibes and magical thinking about being "the most innovative, creative" superior people, but for what reasons exactly, other than race or religion, now on knows outside their schizo world. It’s all in their heads as no real-world examples or data support that.
The US economy hasn’t been globally competitive or truly innovative for decades. It’s built on closed domestic rent-seeking. Even their so-called "tech sector" is really just a bloated software sector many times less innovative than China’s.
What the US so-called 'tech sector' excels at is only an advanced form of their traditional 'cultural' rent-seeking (lobbying, regulation, against the competition, price gauging, high barriers to entry + subscriptions, fees, data as currency, monetizing API, cloud hosting, first mover advantage...)
They also rely on old network effects, not actual innovation. Look at China’s tech/software landscape: WeChat’s multi-functionality, super apps, cashless society, e-commerce innovation, advanced fintech, ride-hailing, delivery logistics, smart cities, digital healthcare, and ID systems, lightyears ahead. Or I should not believe my eyes?
Westoid clowns think absurdly inflated fictional stock market valuations due to end-stage capitalism = innovation in reality. It’s laughable. For example, they are all very "proud" of Nvidia's valuations, despite 10% owning 95% of all stocks.
Another misconception is equating bloated R&D spending and theoretical research with practical innovation. Most of that R&D, in the entire economy, is monopolized by megacorps hoarding patents to
block competition and innovation, not to
foster it. Their goal isn’t progress, it’s to maintain their moats and keep rent-seeking. Value
taking instead of
making again that is why.
This is why there’s such a massive disconnect between the actual societal and business innovation in China versus the West, and the delusional impressions Westoids have about themselves. There are many layers to how this came about.
