Cool. I'd rather China have it than some American megacorp.

I trust China more.

Which one to trust more is at least debatable. In the end, neither can be trusted.

It's not really trust. It's more like hate. I hate this country. I hate what it's turned into. I hate the oligarchy. I hate the captured politicians. I hate that the supposed opposition to actual fascists is a bunch of whinging cunts who's primary concerns are about rules and norms. I hate that we are everything our propaganda told us about the rest of the world. I hate that our entire economic system is just a jenga stack of pyramid schemes.

We are a failed state. And if what I type on my phone helps our geopolitical "adversaries" get even 1 human hairs worth of advantage on this shithole then I'll give it gladly.

"I get not bootlicking America, so long as you still accept that America is better than everyone else"

I want them to win. And they will. Short of global nuclear war they can't lose. Venture capital can't even dream of competing with central planning. Not even a question.
