    You joke but there are people living under these conditions making posts like the one in the OP. Something, something, Americans “see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires”.

      Just by averages and such, at least half of the people commenting saying “yeah, fuck China!” are also working some meaningless “job” where they are gracefully granted just enough scraps by Lord 1 to afford to pay Lord 2 for the continued privilege of living in his home. Of course the Council of Greater Lords also demands their monthly tribute for the possibility of them granting this person the privilege of seeing a medical professional and not being bankrupt for doing so. Oh, but Lord 1, in his eternal benevolence, helps you pay the Council. And you better remember this in case your fealty to Lord 1 comes into question… you wouldn’t want him to stop paying the Council, would you?

      Peasant brain. At least peasants had the excuse of ignorance. Modern peasants are willfully ignorant and fully incurious. There are dozens (dozens!) of us who grew up in the exact same material circumstances as these commenters, but through some amount of curiosity found a whole different perspective on things. My main problem with these dinguses isn’t their rejection or acceptance of different methods of achieving results, it’s their outright refusal to even attempt to understand what the fuck they’re railing against.

      If you irrationally hate something, just be outright with it. Stop spinning fed-posting style “When I traveled China for business…” (sure, sure) paragraphs of cope
