The difference is at least China as far as Eastern powers (fuck Russia) seems to plan for there being a future, regardless of their methods. They invest heavily in infrastructure and education, and I don’t mean mega yachts and private schools for their elite. They invest in their people.
With the US both leading and coercing the charge (the one silver lining I see in Trump is that any influence we had born of respect or goodwill is dead, and we’re a terrible influence), we’ve been sabotaging anyfuture to goose the next quarterly metastasis call to feed our sociopath profiteers at every conceivable human cost including blood.
Tolerance of Individual enrichment over collective good is dooming our species, not to mention a lot of surface life we don’t give a shit about that are completely innocent. No major power is without corruption, but if ends matter, if our species having any future is any priority, the US and those it’s successfully infected with its greed disease ain’t it.
Trust me, the whole world is falling apart. Eastern side of the world will fall quickly if the West falls because we’re all connected.
