    Even if you are right I’ll take doing the right thing for the wrong reasons over the fucking disappointment and self destruction coming from the United States.

    Doesn’t matter how you spin it, China is objectively better for the world right now.

    You can feel morally superior all the way to societal collapse

        ok educate me. On the topic of climate in which ways has (or will) the United States be better? I’d appreciate the optimistic perspective.

        Does the argument extend beyond China bad?
