    Close, but that metaphor was not equating either country with a serial killer, I was merely pointing out that one party’s use of bombs does not necessarily make them worse than another party who does not use bombs. Sorry you’re bad at reading

    And also, it’s not the infrastructure or clean energy that gets people to not like china, it’s all the censorship and oppression

      You were very clearly making a false equivalence there, trying to say that China is just differently bad from the US. All the oppression exists in the minds of western liberals who guzzle propaganda uncritically. Meanwhile, censorship exists everywhere, it’s absolutely hilarious that westerners think that they got the level of censorship right while everyone else got it wrong. It’s a perfect example of people suffering from anchoring bias thinking the rules of a society they grew up in is the natural default.
