    The Matrix called the 90s the peak of human civilization, and it felt extreme and foolish at the time. Turned out to be prescient.

    The education system started getting gutted in the 80s, and it accelerated rapidly under W in the 00s. MAGA is a direct line from this and the similar policies around it.

          In any given country there are always groups that are, to varying degrees, persecuted, ostracised or who don’t benefit from the general increase in the quality of life. That does not mean the country isn’t doing well.

          Many of the same people and organizations that told you that are also Israel supporters. Ask yourself why that is.

          The actual statistics for Xinjiang province show the same quality of life improvements as the rest of China. The Uyghur population is living longer, attaining higher education, earning higher incomes, and their region is seeing constant development.

          Time will tell. A year from now, I bet things are even better. Will your life be better next year? Mine probably won’t.

            mate, i hear you opinion. But your comment and your past comments come in too strong.

            As if you are paid to push an agenda.
            Sometimes it does feel you are a bot account enabling a specific narrative.

            Good luck on future conversations on the internet. Hope you get more considerate

              They aren’t coming on too strong just because you don’t like what they said. You might be a bit sensitive to the topic.

                Somehow I’m the one that’s coming on too strong and is inconsiderate, but it’s okay for them to accuse me of being either being a paid liar or not being human at all.

                    They said “As if you are paid to push an agenda” so I’m a paid liar, and then “Sometimes it does feel you are a bot account enabling a specific narrative” so maybe I’m not even human.

              I do this for free because I’m a stupid loser and I haven’t had friends for almost ten years and I probably never will again and have nothing better to do with my time and it will never get better and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking liar. 🙂
