And somehow Westerners want us to believe that if the world was lead by China we will be worse off?
One can be bad, and the other definitely worse.
Only in your racist sinophobic world view. We on the other hand, judge by past and present actions, and it is clear who is the genocidal maniac here.
There's some very interesting voting ~~manipulation~~ patterns going on in here. Some very quick upvotes on your nonsense and the same downvoting mine. I'm sure it's all legit though as you spread your agenda throughout Lemmy.

These votes are organic. You’re just used to the voting patterns of imperial core social media platforms. Once you step outside that bubble, you may find that opinions differ.

Don't mind me just up voting them and down voting you too. By the way, care to explain why you think it would be definitely worse?

Impossible that you just have a terribly shitty take and everyone knows it.
@OutlierBlue pro tip: voting in the fediverse isn't secret like it is on reddit.
If you suspect vote manipulation just get yourself a kbin account, we click and can see lists of exactly who upvoted each comment and when. (We can do this for downvotes too but we don't federate those).
It's a good way to spot people upvoting themselves, and to free yourself from paranoia.

I swear Canadians believe in America exceptionalism even more than we ourselves do.

Interesting list. As a data slut, it would be best to see this expanded to other countries as well. And then broken down into in and out of state atrocities. Then, further down the road, linking specific instigators to their crimes so exact avenues of violence could be tracked.
Honestly, this is an excellent beginning to a powerful tool.
edit: theorizing how more data gives a complete picture gets downvoted... by whom exactly?
Correct; the USA is definitely worse.
Settler-level, vibes-based, "muh treats"-factored analysis. Don't you have a historically Black neighborhood to be gentrifying
I'm not with the communist crowd, but a significant fraction of the global population would be better off with China in control of world affairs. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be an East Asian in that world, but the Middle East and Africa for starters would definitely be better than they are now.
