All of that non sequitur is great, but the fact is no foreign country needs to do anything to make Americans hate their government. Nothing. Except provide a platform that allows free speech.

That's all Tiktok is.

Except homeownership rates, poverty rates, homelessness, illiteracy, class mobility, workers rights, prisoners prisoners per capita...

The US is one of the worst countries given it's comical amount of wealth, usually coming in at rank 40 or lower by pretty much any stat you choose... Except gross GDP, the number of prisoners, the number of proper capita, the number of slaves working for private corporations, and maternal mortality rates. That's where the US excels that China simple can't compete in, arresting people, forcing them to work for profit for companies, and killing women in child birth.

He's not wrong. There's a reason all tech billionaires switched to the Republican party when it became clear their dem donations wouldn't help them any more.

The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?

You want to know how to turn an American against the US government? Tell them, without exaggeration, what their government is doing to them; and tell them, without exaggeration, what other governments do for their citizens.

It's that simple. No lies needed. No american with an IQ above a glass of undrinkable tap water likes their government or thinks their country is worth anything.

Well luckily the straw man you're assigning to China only exists in your head.

They've eliminated extreme poverty and are on track to eliminate poverty. Given even the poorest citizens don't worry about rent or medical bills or food costs, their poverty looks incredibly different to that in the US.

...by seeing how shit is lives are in comparison?

I don't think you understand how many centuries behind China the US is.

Fascism, according to Mussolini, is the combination of state and corporate power, the final stage of capitalism.

That's, fine, it's your choice to not use services.

That has nothing to do with anyone else. Simply don't use the internet.

What is China going to do?

Hell with China's track record, it's better that China has it than the US government if you're in the US.

No, it's been that way for longer than you've been alive, unless you're in you're 90s.
