    They would rather keep living a lie in which they’re still the main character and that the world runs on simplistic logic akin to a Marvel movie. The illusion can’t be kept up forever with the realities of China slowly dismantling the hegemony, tho tbh it’s not like China needs to do much when the US is deleting itself

      I feel like even Marvel is way more complex and nuanced and logical than the vast majority of neoliberal’s racist capitalist dogma.

      Pretty much, and I don’t know whether people will ever learn to see past anti-China propaganda in the west, but I’ve come to realize that the west doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things.

      It’s around 20% of the global population, and the rest of the world will simply move on regardless of what the west does at this point. Majority of the world is the side of China and human progress will continue to march on.
