Okay, so background: I’m your average pro-gun fuck-the-police, fuck-trump zoomer honed by years of unsupervised internet access and I’ve just discovered this community and started lurking for a while. But I still hold extremely negative views on China, which I still think are justified.
“Which views?” I’ll throw them out real quick: child labor! internet censorship! media censorship! anti-LGBTQ! uygher genocide? positive and pro war relations with russia! (because fuck putin)
So I get really confused anytime I see people expressing pro-China sentiments. Have I been spoonfed by the media or are some of these points actually justified?
I fucking love the idea of high speed rail, but it’s a shame we refuse to do it. I think this country’s infrastructure is an absolute joke. Cars are one of the worst inventions of all time.
The reason the U.S. refuses to do it is :porky-happy:
From airlines lobbying to prevent it to privatized railroads intentionally fucking passenger trains over to politicians bought by corporations, :porky-happy: prefers that you use the least effective, most expensive option that makes them the most amount of money.
Rich people are at the core of yet another problem? :gasp:
