can't really argue with results though, wtf timmy gonna do tell them communism has never worked while they line you against a wall? lol.

and it will be tiktok NPCs doing the lining up and shooting also

not like our system is doing any better, we're free and everyone is fucking miserable and chinese people are unified.

"Communism with Chinese Characteristics" is the literal wording in their constitution, and means exactly what you said, "weird hybrid capitalistic oligarchy" but I'd add fascist in there somewhere. It's straight up fascist, but you're allowed to make money

the chinese people aren't united so much as they understand what is good for them, if you step out of line and you aren't one of ~800 that gets executed every year, then you're definitely gonna get tortured by state police in a "re-education camp"

they are captives in their own country

he's a dealmaker, and that's an offer too good to refuse for alot of people.

it's rather politically adept, nobody can say he's putting people out of work and causing kids to starve, and he's cutting the fat that we all know pervades the federal gov't. if we got competent department heads left over, the staff will fall where they need to.

next year's labor budget is gonna have alot of room

I wonder if these policies apply to federal law enforcement agencies like the FBI and Secret Service, also the IRS? Might be a hell of a good time to start a mafia, counterfeit some money, or just not pay paxes.

this empire

if orange man bad was actually based, he'd start referring to USA as the American Empire instead, like they do in my japanese cartoons

The American Empire has been demonstrating its authority as a military state since the last Great War. However, it started to suffer from a collapsed economy recently. Part of this is due to the reduction of Nuclear weapons as a deterrent now that almost every nation has them and with the Japanese Miracle, fallout is no longer a fear.

Although still a very important nation

America’s superpower status has been giving way to the economic behemoth of Japan in recent years.

oh japan you so funny. fun fact, Japanese people don't have brand loyalty to their own tech companies.

Chinese flat-panel TVs surpass 50% market share in Japan for the first time. In the domestic flat-panel TV market in Japan, the sales share of Chinese companies such as Hisense Group and TCL exceeded 50% for the first time in 2024. The market share of major Japanese companies Sony and Panasonic is less than 10%.4 days ago

and when shirow masamune actually wrote the manga "economic behemoth of Japan" wasn't a joke, it was a legit fear. this was pre lost decade.

pretty sure that's why he's depressed and only draws hentai calendars for the last 20 years instead of more GITS/ Dominon Tank police cyberpunk, doesn't like revisiting the world he envisioned with japan as a key player

I'm sad all of you people are so hot for the fake blonde with daddy issues who is the current WH press secretary.

Barf-A-Rama.

It makes sense though, given many of you like other fakes.

It's insane what you can accomplish when you don't have to worry about things like worker's rights, fair pay, environmental impact studies, engineering standards and other annoying business hurdles

that is an advantage for sure

Im certain that there are interests pouring money into screwing up rail travel in the USA. Ford motor company lobbied the crap out of many cities/states to prevent passenger rail in past decades

nowadays im sure that lobby also includes the airlines

There is a recent one to add. His name is elmo. Something something suck tube.
