This will happen more and more as the imperial core gets rotten over time.

He says that drug related issues are crossing the Atlantic from the US to the UK but I find it hard to believe that that area did not have drug problems of its own without the US having to do anything about it.

As the US populace gets poorer, the CIA needs to sell their drugs somewhere else?

UK is also barreling down the hill in terms of the average standard of living lmao

The reason I commented the above is that while it's cool that a westerner is able to see the merits of living in China he still gives out weird NIMBY aura. Like he is enjoying the benefits of a socialist arrangement without understanding properly where they come from.

Interesting video. Although I'm not a fan of the guy. He is clearly pretty bigoted. His choice of China for raising his kids is directly motivated by conservative concerns. Now, I'm not gonna act like safety, absence of drug use, and parental control are bad things by themselves, but he clearly doesn't understand that capitalist society is the problem, not leftist inclusivity and understanding of diverse issues.
