In the West, we’re told our system is superior even if it fails to deliver any tangible progress, because we have free speech and privacy. Yet, while people in China flourish as our standard of living continues to decline, turns out the whole free speech argument was hollow all along. Irony, anyone?
You're mixing correlation and causation. It's not irony, it's fallacious thinking. Both may be poor approaches. You're also only comparing two countries out of all of them. This is just a ridiculous comment.
I'm not mixing anything up. You just wrote meaningless word salad. This is just a ridiculous comment.
I guarantee the politicians who desperately wanted an end to e2e definitely learned from the communists of the east.
Sees something a capitalist regime does under capitalism, start talking about communism. 🤣
Well, the type of policies like that typically come from one of 2 types of people: communists and fascists.
As much as I hate capitalism, I hate communism even more.
Edit:
Forgot and didn't notice this was one of the .ml communities. Not gonna continue the conversation because I have the strongest feeling neither of us will argue in good faith.
Bye!
Yah I don't know which is better but I do know China can pick a direction and achieve it. Where the west recently is a floundering fish.
