I have noticed an uptick in anti-China sentiment recently. Are these bots still trying to convince people that China bad, America better? Like, come on, just look at these numbers:
During Covid:
US - 3,596 deaths per million with a population size of 335 million.
Mexico - 2,605 deaths per million with a population size of 130 million.
China - 85 deaths per million with a population size of 1.42 billion, 4x times the US, which should’ve been harder to administrate or manage, but they did it efficiently anyway.
Which seems more responsible there? And by A LOT.
Every year, to general conflict:
US - 20,000± people - rate of 5.7 due to its population size.
Mexico - 30,000± people - rate of 24.85.
China - 7,157 people - rate of 0.502, incredibly impressive for a country 4x times the size in population.
UK - 684 people - rate of 1.14.
Canada - 874 people - rate of 2.27.
My favorite, this one always makes Americans go “no way that’s true. But the way they treat gays over there!!!”
Saudi Arabia - 285 people - rate of 0.795.
Which are safer? China and Saudi Arabia.
Now, according to World Population Review, Our World Data, the UN and more regarding wealth inequality, the higher the number, the worse (Gini coefficient, 0 would mean everyone has the exact same amount of cash, so, expect it to be a minimum of 20~):
South Africa - 63.0
Brazil - 51.6
Zimbabwe - 50.3
Mexico - 43.5
US - 41.8
China - 35.7
UK - 32.4
Japan - 32.3
Sweden - 31.6
Iraq, bro - 29.8
Norway - 26.9
United Arab Emirates - 26.4
India - 25.5
Slovakia, the lowest, most “communist one” as Americans say - 24.1
Couldn’t find the Gini for Saudi Arabia, but I am sure it’s similar to its neighbors, which dingle around the mid 20s or low 30s.
Now look at these 12 war crimes the USA has done:
Iran 1953 - CIA + MI6 overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized oil.
Guatemala 1954 - CIA toppled President Jacobo Árbenz after he pushed land reforms that were hated by U.S. corporations (United Fruit Company).
Congo 1960 - The U.S. indirectly supported the removal and 86 of Patrice Lumumba and backed Mobutu’s dictatorship.
South Vietnam 1963 - CIA green-lit the coup that ousted and 86 Ngo Dinh Diem.
Brazil 1964 - CIA supported the right-wing military junta that removed President João Goulart.
Chile 1970 - CIA spent millions trying to block Allende’s election, then supported the military coup that put Pinochet in power.
Nicaragua 1980 - U.S. illegally funded the Contras to destabilize the Sandinista government.
Afghanistan 1979 - U.S. funded and armed the mujahideen to bleed the Soviets, destabilizing the region for decades (and indirectly creating conditions for the Taliban).
Iraq 2003 - Full-scale invasion removing Saddam Hussein, plunging country into chaos and sectarian war.
Lybia 2011 - NATO intervention helped topple Gaddafi, leading to civil war, militias, and slave markets.
Honduras 2009 - Not a CIA coup, but U.S. tacitly supported the military-backed ouster of President Zelaya by legitimizing the new government.
Syria 2011 - CIA’s “Timber Sycamore” program armed various rebel factions, worsening the civil war.
As a Mexican struggling really hard because of the insane amount of damage the USA has done to us, Reagan and Nixon forcing us to join this pointless war on drugs just so we’d live in fear and work for you cheap, the whole Operation Fast & Furious under Gorge Bush, you promising us that you will save us for over 50 years, inflating your chest and whatnot, yet, your army lost to the Taliban after a decade of fighting them, to some Vietnamese farmers too, they didn’t win the 1812 War, the Korean Wars (a stalemate, a really embarrassing one because the US had literally about 21 countries fighting in their side against the Soviets and China, and it was a god damn stalemate, dude, make some sense of that), they lost to Fidel Castro in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Iran Hostage Crisis from 1979, the Iraq War, lost the War on Drugs and also Terror, which is costing the USA trillions of dollars a year to fix today and still ongoing, to Vietnam, to Canada in 1812, Lebanon in 1982, Somalia in 1992, Afghanistan in 2001, the Operation Eagle Claw is never forgotten either, struggled so hard in Granada and Panama in the 1980s, struggling and clearly losing in Syria too. They also stole the credit of WWII like the typical leech in a dungeon group who only loots the corpses of the enemies at the very end. Oppenheimer’s dad was a German-Jewish man, all the main creators of GTA are from Scotland and the UK, hamburgers were created in Hamburg (and wouldn’t exist without the invention of the sandwich, which is English), hot-dogs were created in Germany, Stan Lee was the child of two Romanian-born Jews, his values and culture come from that place more than New York City…
And yet, I still see so many people coping so bad about the American army being “the strongest in the world” and posts like these about China. I used to think the USA was the hero of the world, our “best bet to achieve a utopia due to its cultural diversity and tolerance,” lol, but I was wrong, I was naive. I even cried for Bradley Cooper’s character in American Sniper, but then, I just remember that that dude killed so many innocent people that were forced to do evil to survive or reclaim their dignity… Like, what the hell is all this, seriously? These posts, these comments, these people, are they real? Do people still think the American Dream is a thing? You already lost me and so many more. I know a lot of you will say you don’t care because I am a Mexican and I should be “fixing my own country instead of caring about yours” as I constantly get told by MAGAs. Thing is, if I want to help and save my country, I have to look at you, the biggest root of all. The biggest terrorist group in the entire world: The ‘United’ States of America.
After suffering so much, I’d prefer to live in China than the USA, I don’t care about the censorship and authoritarian nonsense. It is what you people need because you are way too unruly, too messy, too chaotic. Over 20% of teachers in the USA have quit their job the past few years because these new generations of children are making them quit. I could go on and on about how horrible the USA is, it’s super easy to be honest, it’s tiringsome too. So, whenever I see posts like this one and comments glazing the American Army or even the government as a whole, I can’t help but cringe so hard. I can’t believe this is still a thing anymore. Wake up, it’s over. America is nothing but a joke, a bad one. Stop coping, bro. I used to hate China so hard, but now, after I saw Trump win AGAIN, I completely gave up on you, all of you, every single one, because you lied to me through my entire life. I remember TV channels talking about China negatively only, showing the smog they had in 2010, the contamination and all that. I keep getting shown videos of Chinese people ignoring someone who got into an accident. I keep getting told that China sucks, that everyone there is living bad and unhappy. And now I see this post, trying to tell me that the government sucks so bad, yet they are more effective at protecting and pleasing their people than the USA. Why? What the hell is the point of all this?
Americans are really not that different from us, Mexicans. I see you both as equals. The exact same thing. You behave and sound very alike. You also share the same level of intelligence and loyalty to your country. Please, get me out of here. There is no money or no job that fits my skills of 3D modeling, creating gaming AIs like GOAP, Utility, FSM… I try so hard to create an indie game, just like I wrote books and had a shot at so many ideas to make money, I went to the ITESM which is the Harvard of Latin America, a lot of rich Americans go there themselves, I got there with a scholarship of 80%, I was very lucky and unlucky at the same time, because even though I graduated as a Software Engineer, I am still surrounded by a severe lack of opportunities, stability and people who rather see my little brother who has Down Syndrome dead. It’s not worth working for you, to be honest. Posts like these only inspire me to seek support with my local Mexican cartels, because they are the only ones offering me a chance to enjoy my wasted youth. All my 20s wasted in mediocrity and dullness, because money is not moving, money is being used to fund wars and bomb children in Gaza. Some sources I saw here in Lemmy said we only need 93 billion USD a year to solve World Hunger, yet you spent over 20 trillion USD in the military over the past decade. That is about 10% of the budget to solve World Hunger over the same decade. You paid all that with your taxes, and you feed that machine by not doing anything about it at all. I only have respect for Luigi Mangione, and to me, there is no such thing as an “innocent” person in this world anymore. Not even a newborn. It is thanks to posts like these, people with mindsets like that, that I keep getting pushed to believe that the only way to make people understand and never forget that greed should be stopped as soon as possible, is by living through the worst yourselves. That’s the difference between sympathy and empathy. Sympathetic people ONLY care when the bad thing like losing a child or whatever happens to them FIRST. Empathetic people, on the other hand, can imagine that pain without having lived that experience yet. This is why empathetic people are worth more than sympathetic ones. There should also be a cap on wealth, 10 million USD is a lot, but is a good start. That is literally almost 200 million MXN pesos. With that amount you can build 3 or 4 schools with your name on it. Wanna build a mall or something bigger? Be a human and work with people that think like you. Nobody should rely on a few billionaires, etc.
I’ve been using Lemmy for over a year, ever since they removed Boost. I never bothered to make an account, because I promised myself I would rather avoid toxic social medias. But constantly seeing people in Lemmy glaze the USA like this, increasingly over the past months, and also the day I read someone here say that the “worst person in the world to them is Pewdiepie” I just could not resist any longer.
I can easily prove who I am. I am not afraid. I wrote a book titled “Alcarodia A New World”, my name is Oscar Hinojosa, and I have literally posted in my LinkedIn account something similar to this, but way more violent, because IDGAF anymore, I got nothing to lose. Fuck capitalism, fuck the USA, fuck everyone who still talks shit about communism and socialism too.
You trying to pull an ad hominem on me won’t work anymore.
Stop defending the USA, because you only sound like this serf I talked to two days ago in Youtube. He said this after I blamed billionaires for everything bad in this world:
"citizens didn’t even have rights back then mate. And yeah, life was better than living in caves, but it was shocking compared to today’s standards.
And yes, your healthcare is better than the past. It wasn’t a king that demanded it. Technology wasn’t demanded by a king either. Individuals going about their own lives created this world. Life isn’t easy, but you have a much MUCH better life than those that came before you. And later in your life, you’ll have access to the lifestyles of today’s millionaires.
Your problem is funding right now. But it’s not access. You have access to a lifestyle that a king couldn’t even imagine. If you wanted to walk through a perfectly kept garden, and get hosed on beer and wine and eat a roast chicken with your hands, you can do that pretty cheaply. Sleeping in a clean bed that’s warm and dry is also very achievable. This is how a king lived. Access to a plane to visit other countries, a cruise ship, coffees, restaurants were only available to absolute privileged. They are more and more accessible and common place. You are on your own journey. And you use services provided not by government but by innovative businesses. If you are not happy with your current trajectory, only you can change it"
You heard that? We should be thankful with what we have. Someday we will have our own yatch, our own island and private jet like this capitalist said! We get to eat roasted chicken with our hands for cheap unlike the peasants from 2,000 years ago!
It’s always the conformists. I hate them so goddamn much. I really hate to say this too, but Lemmy is slowly and increasingly starting to sound like Reddit. It’s sad, but inevitable.
Either way, these will be my only comments. Isn’t worth discussing this. I can already tell people will keep moving the goalposts as always. Look at the guy below me, very angry at me for “trying to argue who is worse” as if that’s something wrong or bad to do? Like, I know nothing will ever be perfect, but goddamn the gap between the USA and China is insane, like, come on. I cannot take anyone seriously anymore, I seriously can’t. The dude tried to still equate USA = China, just like people tried to do with Kamala = Trump. Even after everything I showed, all the numbers, the war crimes, my personal sentiment, the dude is still MAD AT ME. Nah, fuck this. Both the USA and Mexico 100% deserve everything that is happening to them and what is to come. Same for the Chinese. I am glad you got put in your place. The majority of human beings truly suck, I don’t care if you want to include me there or not, I don’t care about how people see or perceive me anymore, I am going to probably die soon, in a few years, so, good luck. I hope you get to have 7+ children and a big house with 5+ bedrooms like the average baby boomer did. Both my grandparents had like 9 children and massive houses (at my age, 27, both of my grandpas were going for their fifth child, and one of them didn’t even go to college, he just inherited the lands and businesses of my Lebanese grand grandfather who had to escape Lebanon because the USA and Israel decided to bomb them just for being Arabs. He was just a businessman, a silk seller, not a politician or whatever. Same for the rest of my family that did get killed there, they were teachers, doctors, accountants… What an amazing world and country, right?), one of them can fit like 7 average homes in there. My aunts and uncles? They mostly had 1 or 2 children and a decent big house. Friends and cousins? 0, and no home, no opportunities, no stability. All that youth completely wasted, I couldn’t go out, party, dine outside, buy what I wanted, no confidence, no stability, just stress, constantly worrying and trying to come up with a strategy to get out of this poverty, this hole, because there was no money and no capital to ask for “a small loan of 1 million dollars” to my daddy. My money is still in billionaires’ hands. And here you are, working for their agenda by still fighting among yourselves, about which fucking country is better or not, like, yeah, dude, I give up. I give up. Cya.
Are you seriously trying to argue who is worse? I am pretty sure that US is way worse but China definitely sucks.
If do find you last comment enlightened. Yes we are not that much different. In fact China pumped out more billionaires than the US this year. Just two imperialist fascist countries sitting in a tree.
Yes dude, I am. The world would be a much better place if the USA was replaced with China and I am goddamn tired of pretending it “wouldn’t.” I am on the verge of death thanks to people like you and you’re still trying to convince me that the country that loses more than 22,000+ people a year to violence, not natural causes, is better than the country with 4x times the population size, yet a quarter of that death toll a year compared to the USA, the supposedly and self-called “#1 country in the world.”
Do not even try to equate them, dude. You sound exactly like the people that say “Kamala Harris would’ve been the exact same as Trump.” Literally.
I don’t like facism whether it is the US or China. I hate dictatorships. I hate for life presidents. I hate one party governments. I hate having to trust in the idea of a benevolent dictatorship. I want a government that fears the people and leaderships can be easily replaced as opposed to becoming centralized under one person because fuck kings.
We can totally agree to disagree but the way the current Chinese government came to power was very brutal. We are talking 2 to 40 million dead depending how you calculate the loss of life.
No country is perfect and China is far from one.
I find it strange you would attribute the rise of China to their internal policies as opposed to the reality of them taking advantage of US and other foreign investments. China is great because of the US not despite it.
You sound like someone who is a pick me for China. This often happens when westerners get disillusioned with the US. Which I think is easy to do. They will look into some other country to latch onto.
For instance, I am guilty of looking up to some Western European countries policies and idealizing them. I was once also very enamored with socialism. I still am in a lot of ways.
“China is great because of the US” lmao. “We are talking 2 to 40 million dead” what an insane gap. “them taking advantage of US and other foreign investments” oh my god, you are a MAGA, dude, these are Trump’s talking points ever since his first term.
Yeah, Lemmy is getting filled with bots to keep further dividing people with nonsense like this. Goodluck
Hey, I get it. You don’t have answers and that is okay. Nationalism is always a symptom of a deeper problem and also relies on hiding the truth.
I told you the US was way worse than China. That makes me MAGA?
I think you are just confused and frustrated and really don’t know what the fuck you are saying at this point. I encourage you to continue examining your opinions. Cheers!
I have noticed an uptick in anti-China sentiment recently. Are these bots still trying to convince people that China bad, America better? Like, come on, just look at these numbers:
During Covid:
Which seems more responsible there? And by A LOT.
Every year, to general conflict:
Which are safer? China and Saudi Arabia.
Now, according to World Population Review, Our World Data, the UN and more regarding wealth inequality, the higher the number, the worse (Gini coefficient, 0 would mean everyone has the exact same amount of cash, so, expect it to be a minimum of 20~):

Bro you have zero comments and your account is 7 days old.
Also I love my motherland, I hate the government.

I give up. Cya.
Literally no one here defends USA, that was not even part of meme, you came up with non-existing argument and wrote a book around it. Get a grip
Are you seriously trying to argue who is worse? I am pretty sure that US is way worse but China definitely sucks.
If do find you last comment enlightened. Yes we are not that much different. In fact China pumped out more billionaires than the US this year. Just two imperialist fascist countries sitting in a tree.

Hey, I get it. You don’t have answers and that is okay. Nationalism is always a symptom of a deeper problem and also relies on hiding the truth.
I told you the US was way worse than China. That makes me MAGA?
I think you are just confused and frustrated and really don’t know what the fuck you are saying at this point. I encourage you to continue examining your opinions. Cheers!
