In the 80s, 90s and early 00s the left was against globalism, so it’s extremely weird to see things being reversed…
“The left” is not a monolith.
„Hoch die Internationale Solidarität!“ (Cheers to international solidarity)
I’ve seen a lot of individuals like this in my life… “I don’t want to play, so the game is over”. No dude, you’re welcome to not participate, but you’re not the life of this group.
It’s also anoying when the oposite happens. You can’t join? Then we will cancel. Just fkin do it. You don’t need me every time.
Fuck China too
We (the west) helped them become who they are. We relocated all our production there because they were cheap and didn’t mind throwing a bunch of poor people into the grinder. Arguably, the fastest and most efficient way for them to get out from under our thumb was authoritarian rule. Democratic rule would’ve been torpedoed by the US or one of its European vassals in favour of an authoritarian one we installed.
The world could’ve looked very different had the US not meddled in a lot of countries. Here’s an entire list that probably has about 70 countries on it.

Hold on a sec, you can’t get off the hook that easy, Europe

Literally the sentence above it
That sentence still makes it sound like you think the US has been unilaterally directing western colonialism, but European nations have independently taken the initiative on that quite a bit
Sadly a better partner than the USA currently.
No. Just because the US has become worse than before and China didn’t, even if the US closed in on how bad China is, that doesn’t make China better than the US. More reliable, yes, but not better.
On which points do you think the current USA government is better than China’s one?
Did I say that?
Reliability is a big part of a good trading partner. Also helps if you can be reasoned with.
Cheap (slave) labor is also good for trade I guess. And an authoritarian regime is nice for stability.
Are you talking about USA or China?
Doesn’t matter.
China seems to be lawful neutral. Much easier to deal with than USA’s current chaotic evil.
Neutral??
Lawful??
Compared to USA, yes. Their own logic and code they follow.
Head empty. No thoughts.
Wow. That’s like, one of the stupidest things I’ve read in a while.
Yay! Canada’s included in the joke!
One of those things, does not belong with the others lol.
