Right, because OP’s posting history looks as organic as any other regular user.

OP will post literally anything as long as it’s anti-China.

Advertising is based on passive attitude and thrives on negative attitudes.

This is a nice-sounding story that flatters our egos, but unless scientific studies corroborate, that’s all it is.

People will use c/asklemmy for anything but its intended use.

Not that people will even go to a website. It’s app or nothing for many, it seems.

Generational proclivities are a red herring. At best they’re useful to marketing firms and at worst they’re pumped out by PR firms to distract us from the class war. The changes that are happening would have happened regardless, because they benefit the bourgeoisie. These are specifically oligarch-driven changes, not gen-x vibes-driven.

China has a horrifyingly destructive demographics crisis on their hands.

“Horrifyingly destructive” sounds a bit hyperbolic. Birthrates in South Korea, Japan, and some European countries are lower.

Immigration is one of the main ways to deal with it, something that China is much worse off with as their poor wages and sheer size means they uniquely cannot attract enough people, unlike South Korea and Japan.

Wages are not low in China when compared to the cost of living. However high wages may be in South Korea and Japan, people still can’t make ends meet because prices are high. And I don’t see how a country’s size would factor in at all. But in any case, I don’t think China is even trying to attract immigrants, making this moot.

The powers that be have had their eyes on us for a few years already. Previously. Previously. Previously.

Among other reasons, there’s no marketing budget.

About this user…

The last thing corporate media want us to consider is class, which is why they promote minor—and even fictional—wedge issues to distract us from it.

However, now that the majority of CEOs are Gen X, we are seeing an unprecedented mass surveillance and data-collection economy, like fucking Gen Xers want complete control over everyone.

Increasing mass surveillance and data collection aren’t a gen-x thing; they’re a continuation of what was already happening due to late-stage, neoliberal capitalism and the process of technology development.

que no mires!

And this is why you shouldn’t skimp on your tildes.

Someone should do a poll in core countries regarding imperialism. It’s hard to know how much of it is obliviousness vs suppression vs ambivalence vs full-throated support.

I’m looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values.

For what purpose? Are you in a position to live anywhere in the world? The best most people can do is work toward improving the country they live in. Not many can simply go window shopping.

Westerners imagine these things in a vacuum, or worse, in their own present context. They don’t consider the material conditions of the place and time. They don’t consider what options were—and were not—available.

They don’t consider that China had been until that point a feudal empire, with abject poverty for the great majority, frequent famines, almost no industrial capacity, etc. And the PRC was born right on the heels of total devastation by the fascist Japanese in WWII and then the fascist KMT in a civil war. In WWII alone, 15–20 million Chinese people died. And, being socialist, the country was considered an enemy by capitalist states, so the only international support they got was from other socialist states. The US maintained economic sanctions against China from 1949 to 1979.

ofc ofc the PRC is no different from dynastic China. It’s built into the evolutionary psychology of the mongoloid. /s

A failed US covert operation is why this narrative was cooked up in the first place, to make lemonade out of its lemon[1][2].
