    I literally watched Xi’s address last night and was blown away by the use of examples of actual, concrete things done and not just lofty rhetoric about shit like “the promise of America” and “the shape of our democracy”.

      I hate “optimistic” documentaries made by liberals because it was always ends with some shit like “even though our country is deeply divided, at the end of the day, we’re Americans. And Americans want to protect our freedoms and democracy. We’ll get there, but we have to work together.”

      And throughout the documentary it’s just some bourgeois asshole naval gazing at poor people.
