It's sort of amusing that the profound psychological issues that make him the most corrupt POTUS in history, the most self-absorbed POTUS in history, the most dishonest POTUS in history and the most deranged POTUS in history also make him the most tone-deaf POTUS in history.
We better hurry up and do something about it because history is written by the winners
History is only written by the winners when the winners benefit their civilization.
When, as has consistently happened in the latter days of past civilizations and as will be the case if Trump and the oligarchs and their fascist tools win, the winners solely benefit themselves and thus ultimately destroy their civilization, history is written by third parties.
Not true. China rewrites history all the time. You should know this.
... Because China is working to benefit their civilization. When that ceases to be the case their people will stop listening.
Incorrect.
The general attitude of the people in China disagrees. I guess we can try to tell them we know better as we strip civil society down and burn the rest.
The general attitude is controlled by the CCP, as we know. Any dissent is quickly dealt with to maintain a hive mind that aligns with the CCP.
Filed his under: Americans are more concerned with being proven right than what is good.
Language is hard, I know.
"You might be right about me but you're still wrong"
Edit: it seems you don't understand what I mean by being right vs doing good. I agree, language is hard.
“Calling someone wrong doesn’t make you right.”
The CCP is guilty of some absolutely heinous things but high-level they do a lot of building and investing. It’s a lot of headline stuff but it’s better than what the US is doing. The US can’t even build public transit within most of its major cities and each state is constantly fighting with the other ones. The people in charge enrich themselves not quietly but as loud as possible.
China sucks, but they do have at least a small point.
Talk about social issues not infrastructure. Rampant racism, capitalism, cultural homophobia, the skyrocketing unemployment rate.
Sounds just like the US hahaha.
Yeah, but no.
Just look at how the accounts of nazi generals shaped the way historians understood the war of Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union. All the myths, like the clean Wehrmacht or that the soviets just overwhelmed the nazis with superior numbers and no tactic, strategy or logistics at all was coined, popularized and published by nazi generals. And these guys are one of the most famous losers in history.
If I told you I didn’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, I would be proving myself correct
At least I know he is always fucking miserable that he doesn't have more. (More money, more popularity, more praise)
