    I don’t understand why so many folks aren’t worried about another superpower replacing the US’s slowly waning stranglehold

    Can’t speak for others, but personally I simply find them both worrying. The Chinese and US states are both foreign powers that wish to track everything I do and use it to control me in the future.

    Look at all the fucked up shit the US has done around the world, and that’s with a quasi-democratic government that at least has a modicum of domestic and international accountability

    Which US-led, US-backed agencies are you referring to as delivering accountability for the US? The ones they have veto power in too?

    Not trying to “both are equally bad”. China’s output of political violence is ostensibly worse, but you seem to be dismissing the legitimate concern that the source for this is the US regime, whose political interest is for us to point fingers at China as they continue working behind our backs.

    We know to be cautious of China, yet any time someone brings up “we should be cautious of the US too”, the response is “China’s worse”, deflecting from the real threat that the US presents globally.

    Preferably, I’d like to see all these superpowers overthrown, the states broken up, and a union a la the EU to form with more global pursuits, or the EU itself to expand beyond European borders, while continuing to be genuinely voluntary while also being both politically and economically beneficial for all member-states.

      I don’t like the US government a lot, but if I need to pick my poison it would 100% be the USA instead of China.

      Also, I kinda agree with you on having superior governing bodies like the EU on a global scale, but it brings some hardship with it.

      The EU is already struggling pretty hard with some of the states not seeing eye to eye and others gaming the system for their own political benefits. Above all, Hungary and Poland, which shit on the EU every single day while enjoying all the benefits.

      These articles are very easy to write and you can see how emotional people get. You don’t need proof and it always works.

      Everytime there’s an article about what “China/Russia/India/North Korea/or Whatever Says”, social media goes:

      haha, so fake!

      fake news

      imagine believing this

      propaganda bs

      where’s the proof?

      we only believe in hard facts

      no credibility

      chinese/russian bots brigading lmao

      astroturfing

      And then whenever there is “US Says”

      so true

      I know someone who knows someone who was doing this

      I had a gut feeling about this

      The boogeyman is real

      They’re stealing our tech

      They’re coming for us

      We have to renounce them

      They’re destroying our economy

      Enemy #1

      They’re ruining our western values

      US is numba 1

      NO FUCKING PROOF REQUIRED!! Anyone questions?

      why would they release the evidence, it’s classified

      I mean fuck all authoritarian regimes, but it’s funny to see how social media (especially in US) reacts to these articles and riles them up. Also great for election season.

      Standard hypocrisy from propaganda rotted brains at work
