    Oh, does our war-mongering get in the way of science? How could anyone have seen that coming.

    In a sane world, we’d try to build a healthy relationship with China. We’re so interdependent that it’d be a win for both sides. Instead, we need an outside bogeyman to distract from the fact that the real villains fucking us around are our own compatriots. Rich assholes get away with distracting the masses yet again!

      I think this applies to both countries.

      Edit: for the record, rich assholes distract the masses in my country too. And I just noticed the instance I’m on so I’m tapping out here.

        I’m sorry this instance has problematic relationships with some capitalist overlords being favoured but you are correct.
