frick you cock sucker. I’m not spoiled, rotten, nor a POS. I work, pay a ton in taxes, have nice things that I take care of cause I paid for them and I obey the law. I don’t hurt or bother anyone. And those confiscatory taxes I’m paying...well they are confiscated by a government that enables rotten spoiled pieces of shite to be so.

Pack your shite and go if you have so much contempt for this place. You’re part of the problem as well. So do your part to make it better and leave.

My bad.

I thought we were sharp enough to understand that "we" didn't literally mean every fricking person in the country.

Averaging over 7 posts a day for almost a decade probably doesn't leave you much time to hurt or bother anybody, you hard working mother fricker.

A real hard working mother fricker would laugh at how much time us losers burn on the internet.

China rocks in my opinion. The energy in China is great. People there – there's like a lot of smart, hard working people. And they're really -- they're not entitled, they're not complacent, whereas I see in the United States increasingly much more complacency and entitlement especially in places like the Bay Area, and L.A. and New York.


I mean... he's kind of right. I think you need to differentiate between the CCP and the Chinese people. They are a hard working largely hospitable society that's loud, obnoxious, and pretty racist. The CCP is pure evil and their biggest victims are the Chinese people. After this COIVD shite has blown over, the US is unfortunately going to have to turn against China as a whole, which makes me sad for the Chinese people but will hopefully result in them overthrowing their evil government.

They’re made to work like that by their communist government. I guess your life motivates most people.



The South Koreans and Japanese are pretty hard working people as well. The government doesn't make them work as hard as you think they do. They have an abundant workforce supply to where unless you're in a factory or a prison camp, they're probably not working as hard as you think they are.

Here's the thing: The Chinese people work hard but they don't know how to work smart. I'd say the average American in a white collar job actually is more productive than a Chinese white collar worker. I worked less hours than my Chinese counterparts when I was doing marketing over there, but I got my job done by being more creative than just doing things by the numbers as everyone else in my department did.

Huge difference from Chinese people and the CCP. I agree with his statement about the people ...

Generally happens when people are fighting for survival. The average Chinese is dirt poor compared to the average American.

I mean.... kind of. Here's the thing: there's now a middle class over there. Also food, board, and clothing is cheap as all frick there. It's the electronics and the cars where you get screwed. Really it's the Hans vs the non-Han populations, all of which are treated like shite. They just expect Han Chinese to fall in line, but they will use the non-Han to do the truly horrible stuff. Keep in mind that the Chinese people are consuming western media whether the CCP likes it or not, so they know what the outside world is like. If there's another Great Leap Forward in China, then they're overthrowing their government over it. Only met like 2 people over there that were fans of the CCP.

I don't think the government minds brutality if necessary. That would be a tall order.

Not really.

You can agree that the Chinese people aren't entitled and work hard while also agreeing that the government and their oligarchs deserve to be taken out.

Yeah, but they're not as overt as they used to be on it, at least to the Han population. The CCP is aware they're on thin ice with their people.

If you're not much of a thinker, it could be confusing. But it's a waste of time explaining it to you.

So its okay for Musk to criticize the US Government on its "ban" on Muslim immigrants , but remain completely silent on the Uyghur Muslims in China ? Threaten to move his businesses because of Covid lockdowns(which are worse in China)? Mock government subsidies to individuals when Tesla greatly benefits from them ?


This is making me understand the vitriol towards the NBA even less.

The NBA has been bought off by China, It's not hard to understand unless you're indoctrinated.
