      Wastes more Earth’s natural resources than any other country, contributes the most to global warming, uses massive government subsidies to its corporations to undercut concurrent players in market, still has billionaires, fosters raging consumerism in the world.

      But most of these things are okay for .ml folks, because “West does something similar too”.

      🤣 I was crucified for that comment on some dumb tankie instance (.ml or .hexbear) before I knew better. They stalked my profile for weeks and downvoted everything I did. I just thought it was sad because who gives a damn about fake internet points.

      I mean yeah China used communism to rapidly industrialize & develop technologically & then they became state-capitalists.

      What’s so problematic about that
