calling the brics currency imaginary just because it hasnt yet been circulated is cope and reads like someone trying to convince themselves “its going to be ok, US wont lose its grip over the rest of the world”

also this guy says “a chinese style economy” when i would bet he would not even be able to describe how the chinese economy or government are organized and would just say “they work 70 hour days and there are suicide nets to keep them from escaping”

also sorry im posting so much on here, i just see some new bullshit any time i open libbit

    They can’t pretend that China has smoggy cities anymore, the “world leader in high speed rail” perception has poked through the disinformation.

      sadly i still see libs and fascists using this outdated talking point, probably any time anything about china is said. to the extent that they’ll even acknowledge the strides china is making in clean energy, they’ll just baselessly claim china is lying, like how they’re claiming they lied about the actual cost and time it took to train DeepSeek

        The more time goes on, the more they sound like faith healers. “Does your father still think he’s sick?” “No, now he thinks he’s dead.”

        China is lying about their economy, they’re lying about their COVID death rates, they’re lying about their fusion energy program, their space launches and their sub that snuck up on US naval exercises were tricks of the light, their quantity of research papers is a Potemkin village, their governmental approval ratings are fabricated, the accounting for their national balance of payments is cooked to look like a surplus, all the value-added products coming out of China are just another part of the huge lie.

        That’s why they’re struggling to stay afloat, and an any time, the illusion is going to break and they’ll suddenly collapse. Any day now. Perhaps even tomorrow.
