        Yeah, the American media just telling it how it is. That’s what they do.

          American Media telling it how it is.

          Holy shit, what kind of stupid pill did you take before writing this? The propaganda machine got you pal. Your an agent now.

            You must be joking. You think the American media isn’t part of the propaganda machine?

                Do you feel better now? You got on the internet and attempted to insult someone. You did good.

                  You are right, making fun of the mentally impaired is quite bad. I’ll have to take a hard look in the mirror tonight, and wonder how I will sleep at night.

          If you had more than a single iota of geopolitical knowledge you would understand how fucking dumb that statement is.

          Huh. What? I am definitely not coming to the defense of capitalism. Just trying to help you understand that it’s noy a relevant factor here.

          Your original comment is confused at best. China is communist in many ways but absolutely has a thriving capitalist based economy. The idea that the CCP would be threatened by a “capitalist party” is incoherent and silly.

          You’re making some super huge leaps and I’m not sure why.

            I never said they were threatened. If anyone is making huge leaps, it would be you. You’re making big assumptions based on two sentences. An American media company publishes an article about a dying liberal party in China as if that’s a bad thing. It’s only capitalistic when it’s convenient for you libturds. Otherwise, it’s a “scary state run Chinese company.” I never said capitalism doesn’t exist in the country. You have a funny way of “helping.”

              🙄

              Okay. Sounds good. You’re on a war path against the stereotyped strawman you’ve set up, so I don’t really need to be involved anymore. Carry on. Idc.
