I wasn't talking about people in countries that have been bribed.
lmao this is so dumb. Every campaign promise in every democracy is a bribe then?
No.... because they never fulfill their promises.
You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?
In fairness the statement is consistent. The US government does it's damndest to do nothing what so ever for the citizens of the us.
They do it for free! They don't even get paid to spout US State Department propaganda lmao.
At least we get Xi-bucks.
What makes you so sure of that?
Most POC do not like China either, it's only a few countries.
Today I learned I'm a PoC lmao
?
Maybe the US should start "bribing" with infrastructure projects then, I thought they were all about their soft power or whatever
You know the US is upstanding because it won't even bribe its own citizens by giving them anything that would improve their lives no matter how hard they vote. True democracy!
Hmmm
Maybe the US should try bribing people instead of bombing them
China ~~helped other counties improve the material conditions of their people~~ bribed the dumb dark folk.
"I only want a government that doesn't do good things for me!"
[laughs in IMF loans]
The nefarious Chinese are tricking people into supporting them by checks notes improving their material conditions.
Thank God I live in America where I'll never have to worry about the government doing that.
dirty browns bribed by the dirty yellows
