i mean we don't come out smelling like roses either dude

manifest destiny and economic sabotage has been the flavor of american diplomacy for decades and it's not exactly... friendly shit

well at least they don't mix their 200$ red wine with coke

and that's good enough for me

Wonder if Chinese wine is a meme.

yeah whoever does that shit needs to be ducking drawn and quartered

but i don't think people in say Hong Kong or Taiwan do that right

The western style. They have all the ingredients for it but who knows if they messed it up.

and they're chinese, are they not

hong kong was a british colony

so ironically those places have a large part of the original chinese culture intact, before the cultural revolution stripped it all away in the mainland

taiwan and hong kong still use traditional chinese writing and still practice ... kinda silly shit like Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine

but those places are somehow more civilized

maybe because they're economically better off, right

Because communism is a meme that is a virus
Also they were exposed to non shitty ideas

maybe being poor makes you desperate and do subhuman shit to survive, and being in a place with an insane economic disparity makes noveau riche assholes do stupid shit

i see it in china and i see it in manhattan.

my friend in england got scammed the other day because she was too trusting of some stranger on craigslist

and lost her money trying to sell an old phone

that shit happens in most places in the world with social problems. happens less in germany, japan, and singapore.

happens more in china

rich countries with good social nets

your point?

yes definitely

happens a shitton more in china

a metric shitton more

my point is that maybe the problems aren't so much because of culture and race alone as much as it is a problem all societies face when they go through rapid and violent change

cause the way you say shit kinda spreads general hatred of a people who are capable of kindness and good

and that's... not a good way of building a better future for anyone

but also saying that 60 years of dirt poverty doesn't contribute to chinese society is frankly wrong

*culture

Nah, mainland chinks have a toxic culture. Even when they get money they act like assholes for largley cultural reasons.

have you met anyone from the hamptons in ny

or beverly hills

i deal with self-important assholes of all walks of life and dude it's the same shit just different color

frankly they'll all stab you in the back for a buck

and ... a lot of them learned to be ruthless assholes from american businessmen during the 90s.

yeah but at least rich westerners will pay someone to stab you in the back to save face

to use that analogy rich chinese people will shank you in the street and laugh at you while you die

they'd get a lawyer to do it

the chinks would get their friend in the government to fine you or steal your business
