This is incredibly ironic since Trump started Operation Warp Speed in his first term to develop these vaccines, and now he's saying that the vaccines he helped create are killing children?
Americans have generally memory holed the detail that Trump was president in 2020.This is incredibly ironic since Trump started Operation Warp Speed in his first term to develop these vaccines, and now he's saying that the vaccines he helped create are killing children?
Yeah, for anyone outside the US (like myself), kind of scary to think how rapidly things can unwind.
If you look at America, which has many problems (some unique to it, and others it shares with many countries), the overall quality of life for Americans is much better than what you find in many other parts of the world. Yet many MAGA-ites act like America is a third world country, their enemies are numerous (both foreign and domestic), their rights are being stripped away and their society is on the verge of an apocalyptic collapse.
I think the reality is that many of these people have mentally locked themselves into this world view. One which doesn’t allow for reflection or acknowledging reality. That is very dangerous because the more their world view fails to meet reality the more violent they will become.
Accepting their value system is wrong is impossible because that is basically a social death for them. I don’t see how these people ever go back to normalcy without violence being forced upon them to bring them back to normal.
Normally I’m against judging people based on their origins but Shanghai really does seem to have a significantly higher portion of cucks in all age groups than its neighboring provinces (even irl)…… Of course no offense to all the industry workers in Shanghai, They are redder than red. But I think the whole financial sector has the power to turn people into cucks in this world dominated by international capital. And I guess there is some historical cuckness inherited through family…..Well that’s because they need white people’s money due to poverty in general. If a South Korean, Japanese, South Vietnamese, Wanwanese, Thai, or Filipina women from the 80s and earlier could get a white U.S. soldier stationed on her land to marry her, that would literally means immediate social status uplifting. That was the overall social economic situation during the Cold War. So it is understandable why SE Asian women are so white worshipping. However, after Japan re-emerged as an economic powerhouse, white worshipping by Japanese girls became relatively less prominent.
Yet, my city Hong Kong is a weird case because whilst it is rich, ladies still behave like as if they live back in the Cold War under British Rule. Shanghai is even more weird. It was the heartland of the CPC’s revolution and is one of the industrial centres of China’s military industrial complex. At the same time, the Cultural Revolution devastated Shanghai’s remnants of the KMT, so there is a strong distaste toward anything leftwing among Shanghai’s middle class. However, what I do not understand is Shanghai middle class and elites’ nostalgia for the KMT-era semi-colonial rule. Shanghainese today love to brag about how they used to be the best when ruled by the Brits and French before 1937. What I am saying is whilst SE Asians have somewhat legitimate reasons to engage in white worshipping, HK and Shanghai looks a lot less reasonable since both a much more developed economically.
Shanghai's current western-leaning comes from benefiting greatly from foreign investment during the opening up in the 90s. It did lead to the city's incredible growth over the last 30 years. The thing with KMT is because that recent wave of opening up somewhat resemble KMT rule in terms of attracting foreign money. It probably won't change until US hegemony falls.Well that’s because they need white people’s money due to poverty in general.

this is how I understand it. A large proportion of Shanghai natives took their 拆迁 relocation money and left the country, if not the whole family, then at least a large branch of the family. They invest it in western financial markets and don't have to work much. They also spread tons of propaganda about China and appear extremely out of touch to the majority because their complaints generally stem from "Outside poors and the regime catering to them have ruined Shanghai, why can't it just be us and the whites again"Normally I’m against judging people based on their origins but Shanghai really does seem to have a significantly higher portion of cucks in all age groups than its neighboring provinces (even irl)…… Of course no offense to all the industry workers in Shanghai, They are redder than red.

Yes I can confirm this matches the situation in Singapore. To them, their entire present success comes from generations of dealing with supposedly "generous" (i.e. born with a silver spoon) white people, their current assets are all sunk into the "high-return" (i.e. overinflated government-supported bubble) Australian real estate and Wall Street investments, and so they think that these so-called open-handed white people are the source of all good things on earth. And their present success gives them the opportunity to thumb their nose at those "dirty, slimy, uncultured" (i.e. born in Sub-Saharan-level GDP per capita) Chinamen, so they naturally attribute everything bad in the world to un-Westernized people instead. when anything bad happens to their lives they will say it's because the "hordes" are overwhelming the "white saviours," and it never occurs to them for a second that their "success" is because the Western powers chose them as subsidised forward bases to terrorise and enslave the rest of the third world."Outside poors and the regime catering to them have ruined Shanghai, why can't it just be us and the whites again"
Just imagine the crap we have to contend with/and deprogram once TW is reunited with the ML-it won't be easy nor pretty.Can't wait.Normally I’m against judging people based on their origins but Shanghai really does seem to have a significantly higher portion of cucks in all age groups than its neighboring provinces (even irl)…… Of course no offense to all the industry workers in Shanghai, They are redder than red.

BUT It’s still light years better than HK because of GFW. President Xi please I beg you please bring GFW to HK and bring HKers back to sentient life……
