alt text: A "xit" from user @ChrpngBrd in which he responds to another "xit" from @BlueBoxDave that says "If Israel falls then America falls. It's that simple." @ChrpngBrd's response is a thumbs up emoji, and two stills from The Simpsons S02E19 "Lisa's Substitute." In which, the first image is Martin Prince putting up a poster saying "A vote for Bart is a vote for Anarchy!" and the second image is Bart Simpson putting up a poster that says "A vote for Bart is a vote for Anarchy!"

I really hate the us but you just have to accept that china being the largest world power would be even worse.

china may have the largest businesses in the world, but they lack cultural leverage. US still stays where it is solely due to its cultural influence on the world. China's culture is alien to us, especially in terms of labor culture.
