Bro, you have "grass is greener on the other side" syndrome. China is a totalitarian state not comparable to the US. Take this from a non-US citizen. There maybe some backsliding or ppl may think things are worsening in the US, but US citizens always have the power to make things right, coz they are free and they can bear arms.

I would prefer material rights and competent governance to either "freedom" (whatever the hell that refers to) or the ability to buy guns we're barely allowed to use.
- deaux 3mo agoI never said that "as of June 2026, the grass is greener in China". What I did say is that the US has rapidly been adopting all of the downsides of China with zero of the upsides. That's an observation. > There maybe some backsliding or ppl may think things are worsening in the US If you're phrasing this as "maybe" and "may think", you're not here to have a serious discussion.
