Yes, absolutely. A horrible example comes to mind; Andrew Jackson

Chinese people do compete for basic necessities though; stores aren't passing out goods for free and rent/mortgages are very real.

Is there something you are familiar with that they don't have to pay for? I suppose health care and public education, but that's not particularly unique to China.

Guess you're pretty pissed about China colonizing the South China sea, Tibet, and other territories.

This is a 10 star edit. Thank you for making all of these. The absurdity makes me laugh every time and it's great to see the activity on Lemmy.

Except if you ignore China's illegal imperialist actions in the South China sea, their constant threatening of Taiwanese lives, their systematic suppression of journalists and free speech, the extremely strict and HEAVILY biased access to their markets (yet they expect unrestricted access to American markets...), lack of respect for intellectual property laws, propping up north Korea, the continued support of Russias illegal war in Ukraine, etc...

Chinese people are incredibly hard working, smart, and I also genuinely want a world where we're friends. Unfortunately China's actions do not create an environment where this is possible. Perhaps they will also want to be friends and stop these actions. I guess we'll see.

There is no denying the legacy of non-white racism and genocide against native Americans and its horrible impact continues today. Racism is a real problem that hasn't gone away and should not be ignored.

Maybe I'm being an idealist, but when I see use of language from OP making it seem like theres some coordinated white people scheme to only benefit white people, it seems like a straw man argument made to demonize one specific race. I feel like we're all getting pretty damn well shafted these days and we can work together to improve the lives of people in marginalized and underserved communities.

Imagine being so racist that you think discrimination of a particular race is not possible.

Go back to... Not being educated?

I don't watch Joe Rogan and I'm not conservative.

Sounds like it's time for a domestic option

It's only confusing if you are trying to push Russian misinformation.

Russia setup an RF jamming site in that location.
