Look at what a bunch of Chinese peasants can do. And you think we're so tough that we're going to put them out of business. What an arrogant American you seem to be. China's got a history that dates back 3,000 years. The U.S. has been at this only 250 years. Admittedly we are a large and powerful nation, but we're not the only kids on the block. It isn't our football to take home and put the world out of business.
You don't hear reports of Xi cussing and fussing and acting like a 3 year old child who doesn't get his way. He calmly establishes a plan to counterattack the stupid narcissistic man that we've put in place as our leader, with his head held high and the support of his people.
Personally, I'm not in agreement with this American ideal that everything in the world is about us and what we get out of it. That the whole world owes us some homage for allowing them to exist on the planet. But there does seem to be a great swath of Americans who do see it that way. One would be your content creator.
Scholarly progressives know centrally controlled economies historically fail, but they reason "this time the right guys will control it, and the results will be different."
But their "guys " have the same emotional flaws that convince them delusions are true, the bad effects their policies cause is because their policy was not implemented correctly.
Like Mao, Stalin, Castro etc. Xi will blame someone else for the failure of communism, central control. The ghost cities, trains to no where, all the examples of incompetence, is someone else's fault.
Eventually the people themselves are blamed, the victims of the abuse are why they suffer. Then millions are put to death to 'fix' them.
Chairman Mao (Xi's hero) was especially efficient doing this. First he incited the people to identify the corrupt party leaders who caused the failure. After executing "the corrupt party leaders, all the "uppity peasants" who identified them, were also executed.
No one was left to oppose Mao. It was demonic genius.
But scholarly progressives know in their heart of hearts, "this time utopia will be achieved.
We are the ones we have been waiting for. Anyone who gets in our way we will destroy." And so the revolution brings in "the new boss, who fails just like the old boss".
Christians, Jews, Capitalists, Libertarians, anyone loving liberty instead of the state, all the counter-revolutionaries must die! They are evil, bigots, racists, trying to stop our morally right utopia where everyone is equal!"
History proves the delusion of Utopia, which first manifested itself in the Tower of Babel (Babylon), became a seed planted world wide. The Great Harlot Mother of Harlots, poisoning the waters making the entire earth drunk with her delusions.
The promise of equality, is a strong intoxicant. Its right we all be equal and everyone who disagrees is evil and worthy of death. They are Hitler etc., evil incarnate.
Men ruling from the clouds are never above their own defects, are never holy God. Man has dominated man to his own injury, every time he does it.
Any Christian rooting for the progressive left, is delusional. They ignore history, current events, the hate the left manifests towards them.
