    Just like a US and China thing. As of 1960s, US was more developed than China and it wasn’t really a reasonable comparison, now after decades of Chinese innovations and American Decline, they are now comparable and China is passing the US in many metrics of success now or are on track to do so soon.

      All the while America had access to a WORLDWIDE empire, 30 years of which with NO rival to impede them. It’s like starting the race next to the finish line and somehow getting beat by the other player with an iron ball chained to their ankle. I’m really interested to see the new narratives they come up with the explain China’s superiority and America’s inferiority in this coming decade, although probably it will be the tired old “China slave labor 1984 robot state” and “America sucks NOW because insert scapegoat

        Oh I already know one of the narratives that I expect to really blow up. At the gun range in my area it’s only rightoid morons. I heard someone say that (brace yourself, this is beyond stupid) China has learned from their own Opium Wars and now they are the perpetrators of an “international Vape War” with contaminated vapes in order to fuck up other peoples lungs or make them addicted to low quality products or something. I don’t get it, the analysis makes no sense
