it may not be exactly communism, but it is cronyist

and they're bringing back

don't be waycist

Yeah, but the Chinese people don't have much respect for their own nation.

rly?

Some do, I assume

do you talk about chinese politics ever

Yes, quite a bit recently here

I'm kinda skeptical about all those statistics that say that they were the most economically wealthy country in the world for thousands of years of history. I'm sure that it was true, but its pretty easy to do when you have the most people in the world within you country. Was was the gdp per capita at the time?

this is part of the plot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_of_tension

im sure alex jones mentioned it

i think the immigration thing is mostly that

but i think the elites that encouraged immigration were hoping for a longer game

and not immediate crime explosions

like they were hoping it would build up over time, so that people couldn't blame immigration i think

@What Would Jack Conte Do? Have you seen ADVChina on youtube?

Take a look at their videos covering Chinese society/culture

and would trust the govt security then

@AlephKnoll Yeah, but regardless they invented a lot of technology too

and there militaries weren't bad

You can extrapolate from there, to a generalized feeling that they're not as societally homogenous as you'd think

because they had so many people.

well i heard that a lot of chinese identify as 'han'

the armies of thousands we think of in the roman and greek armies are nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands in the chinese armies.

so that seems to be a national thing

or an ethnic thing

its the dominant ethnic group in china

yeah like 90%

I wouldn't trust the stats on that.

well the chinese were also good at employing new weapons for different situations

like gunpowder pots

which they'd catapult

Have you seen that channel?@What Would Jack Conte Do?

against mongols

they obviously don't like their minorities and would skew their statistics without a second thought.

@Fitzydog No, but there's a lot of channels out there

Check out ADVChina

@AlephKnoll ah ok

@What Would Jack Conte Do? its easy to claim that you invented things when you have the most people in the world at the time. what was life like for the average citizen at the time?

@AlephKnoll probably shit

lol
