That's the difference between a civilization that believes in itself and a civilization that is in a state of decadence toward undoing itself.
The west only comes back from this if it deals with the people subverting its culture. Unfortunately, conservatives aren't cutoff with this sort of battle. History has taught us that the way you win these battles is labeling your enemies, lining them all up and shooting them. Any society that has taken a weaker approach has always failed. It'll just be a slow collapse until the USA's power dwindles and the country becomes mostly forgotten. The USA will become the next modern Italy to what was once Ancient Rome or UK to the British Empire etc... it'll still be around but only as a shell of what it once was and perhaps with an entirely different culture.
China is very China first but the way it is run is like a corporation that has bought an entire country and owns absolutely everything including the people.
That's why, in some sense, a dictatorship beats a democracy.
For a dictatorship, the rules know they're in control, and that their children and grandchildren will be in control. That lets them do long-term planning. That also makes them hard to bribe.
For a democracy, politicians have no incentive to plan beyond the next election cycle. They will usually gladly sell out their constituents for money or favors.
A democracy can work to the same level as a dictatorship but it takes some effort to compensate.
We're failing and not for no reason. Our press, our schools, all sources of power and influence have been corrupted and infiltrated to well basically instead of educating kids and trying to make them the best they can be trying to make everyone the worse they can be and the most misinformed they can be.
In a dictatorship, you control everything, so you might as well educate good workers and citizens.
In a democracy, you don't want competition. If you're an elite, the goal is to give your children a good education while everyone else gets an awful education. However, even the elite schools seem to be falling victim to the woke nonsense.
A democracy is like capitalism. There's no perfect system but it's the best you have and you have to keep it like a garden.
The problem is when you elect dictators they don't want democracy to work. They wont keep it healthy. They won't water it and they wont remove the weeds.
They will let the weeds grow and defend them with their life.
In a Democracy you want competition. Do you want to know something about Trump I can smell looking at his face?
In 2016 deep down in his psyche you could even see it in his posture he was not happy. Either he beats an unworthy opponent who is no contest or he's beat by an unworthy opponent and the game is rigged.
Trump would love to lose to a worthy opponent or beat one. It doesn't really matter if they're worthy. I think his only consolation is that they gave Clinton so many handicaps it at least offered a similar challenge or a substitute to having a worthy opponent.
Democracy and capitalism is all about competition.
Right now everything the Democrats are doing, that big tech is doing, that the news media is doing, it's all anticompetition.
Actually it is in practice. There's the promises communism makes, you should ignore that. That's the "real" communism which is ironic because it's the part that isn't real. People imagine some magical distributed true peer to peer system but that's just not going to happen. Well I guess one way is to program people all with the same programming so they happen to move as one like moths to a candle but we know what happens then and it's really still a form of centralisation in a sense.
Communism pretty much restores a monarchy if examined logically using formal methods in system's analysis. From a systems design point communism is one of many systems that really all just converge on the same thing, totalitarian control.
Capitalism is just lots of little kingdoms growing and shrinking, born and die, like nature. Note in nature a predator can get too powerful, eat all the prey and die, it takes work to cultivate a balanced eco system and it's quite pleasurable if you really understand the beauty of natural systems like capitalism. It can go wrong and you have to be a good gardener.
Communism makes a big kingdom. There are theories of communism that try to make little kingdoms but they end up, you guessed it, looking more and more like capitalism and communism seeks to wipe that out so go figure.
You have a bunch of systems that all look different but in reality all roads lead to Rome. Virtually all systems lead to that including capitalism. All viable systems basically do. Capitalism however is the one that usually does it least immediately. You can usually turn back.
This is just science. All other systems die of entropic decay. Capitalism is literally based on life, evolution, etc. Other systems demand too much order and do no balance order and chaos. Basically, they insist on too much determinism. The goals they set out require such a level of determinism that indeterminate systems like capitalism, democracy, human beings, etc are incompatible. When you have things like democratic socialists that's likely an oxymoron. Trying to have your cake and eat it.
Capitalism has many degrees of movement so can more likely move into the best solution. If you're a good gardener you optimise to allow it to move productively and minimise it moving unproductively and you're always careful for it not to snowball and become a run away train.
In the explore and exploit problem, the other regimes also end up with no exploration. To compensate they end up conducting weird contrived experiments on people themselves.
The problem is when you have socialist leaders in charge of a capitalist system they don't fix it. They let it fail, make it worse and block people from fixing it sometimes so they offer their alternative of socialism but also so it moves toward the same convergence point. They make it so either way you end up with tyranny (inherent monopolisation over everything).
All very true and poignant. I don't think this is an understanding commonly held on for many on this site, unfortunately. If a Red Scare is to be employed, the people should know specifically what they fear. Perhaps practically speaking it doesn't really matter.
I edited it, it's a bad habit I have where I can't stop thinking. This site has a lot of people who surprise you. The average person would surprise you.
The bandwidth of speech or typing is a few letters to a few dozen letters a second. The bandwidth of the brain is billions or trillions. The real struggle a lot of people have is squeezing all that out through such a tiny little hole.
I think we all mention communism because it's a known enemy. Though the enemy we also fight is in all of us. We're fighting other humans. Perhaps before that we overcome ourselves or at least should. Some people move on to other people because they can't overcome themselves and hope for someone weaker to defeat.
People say America has been conquered by communists. They're both right and wrong. Criminals have taken over the country. Some of them are communists, but that is merely one kind of criminal. Note this is the same category error the left make.
Racism is merely one possible defective outcome from a defective brain. People with a defective brain or who are corrupt and evil are not limited to making mistakes about you or mistreating you based on race. They can do just the same on any other basis, including as simply as that you're not them.
Communists are actually just thieves really by the way. The people who started up communism were studying ownership, where it is good and where it is bad. Who has the biggest problem with ownership? Thieves. So even if there was an original problem in a single case with ownership (obvious example of a person) criminals quickly poured in and they didn't discriminate.
Same as BLM. Who has the biggest problem with police? Criminals. They quickly poured in. To be fair though both communism and BLM probably had sour elements from the start.
I think if people use the term communist because it is easiest I'm not going to complain if they're basically right but I would still keep an eye out so it doesn't erupted into the same madness as everyone's a racist like with the left.
I'm not sure if it's legal for me to fuck a 19yo retard where I live, I'd need to check the consent laws out. If she was in front of me and asked me to fuck her, I probably would just for the story given who she is but I have 0 desire to actually fuck her nor would I ever pursue trying.
Wait a minute, don't be too quickly to judge her, even tho she lives in the country who also happens to be Europe's biggest exporter of toilet paper, many old buildings still has a bidet in the bathroom. Maybe she don't use toilet paper. Maybe she use Biden (Yes that's the exact Swedish word for bidet) instead.
In some ways China is based. Most communist countries have a lot of pride in their heritage and are not big into diversity. They also just don't believe in private property or individual rights. Think about all the Latin os that come to the us and still waive the flags of the country they fled.
That's the difference between a civilization that believes in itself and a civilization that is in a state of decadence toward undoing itself.

and the 'owners' play to win and don't care about feelings
That's basically standard procedure for China. It's one dynasty after another.

It really really really makes me angry.

Which isn't communism.

It's also important to note that Greta is almost 19 and you would definitely fuck her. So would I. Just admit it, most people here would.
I'm not sure if it's legal for me to fuck a 19yo retard where I live, I'd need to check the consent laws out. If she was in front of me and asked me to fuck her, I probably would just for the story given who she is but I have 0 desire to actually fuck her nor would I ever pursue trying.
That response is funny as fuck. I'm gonna quote you on that one. It would certainly make a good story.
"That retarded global warming girl begged me to fuck her so I did" - PermaHandshake
Rumor has that, in the course of 24 hours, gretta, founded and then resigned from her own chopstick company Good Stick.
The $2.16 she was offering online to any who come up with a logo, was returned to her piggy bank.
Have you ever tried wiping your ass with grass?
No I usually just smoke it, jk
You should try both it'll blow your mind.
Bet she has no idea how fast bamboo grows either
And Bamboo grows so fast, they used it for torture.

Think Greta understands that trees eat carbon dioxide?
I heard she's taking Mandalorian classes to better understand Asian culture.
China has a serious government serving a serious population.
Wait a minute, don't be too quickly to judge her, even tho she lives in the country who also happens to be Europe's biggest exporter of toilet paper, many old buildings still has a bidet in the bathroom. Maybe she don't use toilet paper. Maybe she use Biden (Yes that's the exact Swedish word for bidet) instead.

Back in the 1990s Severn Cullis-Suzuki said the same stupid crap this little turd is saying.
