yeah i meant dystopia or utopia, drones or not, bigoted or not, they really are taking the world by storm and none of us can stop them or slow them down.
This due to the vicious brutal nature of chinese society, you gotta function like a hive mind to get that far that fast. so you are on point calling their citizens drones.

Ridiculous.
You don't "gotta" do anything to get far and fast. How do you even measure success? How much resources can be pillaged in a given length of time? How many ethinic minorities can be starved to death or just buried alive in a given length of time?
God knows the USA has demonstrated extreme efficiency even considering the limitations of the times when we decimated the native american population here. Do you want the USA to further demonstrate efficiency / success / prowess in this regard in order to bolster our esteem or something?
Taking the world by storm? Again, by what measure? By helping create actual environmental disasters "storms" By directly exploiting more people than the USA does because we are sure to exploit more indirectly?
Absolutely ridiculous.
How about we think about what makes a civilization thrive, and become actually prosperous. How about we define what prosperity should look like and then decide how to move towards that prosperity?
China and russia are playing catch up in a game where there can be no winners.
If they took their authoritarian power, and chose to forge a country where people can thrive and prosper, where society is worth living in, and where corruption and exploitation were stamped out at every turn and where social equity was based on an actual measure of righteousness as demonstrated by contribution to the well being of the total society, then they would have a winner on their hands. Then they would have a culture that could take the world by "storm" as you put it.
As it is they are working on an exploitation machine that the "USA" continues to enable by using their nation as a manufacturing pit in the ground for the gain of our corporations and the detriment of all USA and Chinese people.
These kinds of machines go no where and end with some psychopath sitting on a pile of paper money surrounded by skeletons of the loved ones he betrayed wondering if he MAYBE might have done something wrong, and then deciding "no, they were wrong, I was right" as he takes his final breath before becoming unconscious from fumes and overtaken by flames.
Their garbage fate is tied to our garbage fate in the system that we can't seem to point in a better direction.
