Why would they be incentivized by the state that exists to uphold capitalism? Read state and revolution.

If you want to say you like how I look compliment one of the grooming, fashion, or accessory choices, and I'll get the hint.

Hell, compliment my muscles. Literally just compliment anything I have agency over.

I feel like even within the straight paradigm women do a lot to express interest and can still feel "shot down" when those signals aren't reciprocated, outside of also asking guys out

Be proud you stepped up and took your shot and accept the reality that it did not work out. If your a male this is just a fact of life in general

??? This isn't a gender thing?

Why would I pretend China is a democracy when it empirically is according to any useful measure?

High government approval

Bottom up representation

Policies benefit the masses

Wide range of public opinion represented in government

I'm confused by this, because it looks like China is proving you wrong right now?
