I have noticed an uptick in anti-China sentiment recently. Are these bots still trying to convince people that China bad, America better? Like, come on, just look at these numbers:

During Covid:

1. US - 3,596 deaths per million with a population size of 335 million.
2. Mexico - 2,605 deaths per million with a population size of 130 million.
3. China - 85 deaths per million with a population size of 1.42 billion, 4x times the US, which should've been harder to administrate or manage, but they did it efficiently anyway.

Which seems more responsible there? And by A LOT.

Every year, to general conflict:

1. US - 20,000+- people - rate of 5.7 due to its population size.
2. Mexico - 30,000+- people - rate of 24.85.
3. China - 7,157 people - rate of 0.502, incredibly impressive for a country 4x times the size in population.
4. UK - 684 people - rate of 1.14.
5. Canada - 874 people - rate of 2.27.
6. My favorite, this one always makes Americans go "no way that's true. But the way they treat gays over there!!!" Saudi Arabia - 285 people - rate of 0.795.

Which are safer? China and Saudi Arabia.

Now, according to World Population Review, Our World Data, the UN and more regarding wealth inequality, the higher the number, the worse (Gini coefficient, 0 would mean everyone has the exact same amount of cash, so, expect it to be a minimum of 20~):

1. South Africa - 63.0
2. Brazil - 51.6
3. Zimbabwe - 50.3
4. Mexico - 43.5
5. US - 41.8
6. China - 35.7
7. UK - 32.4
8. Japan - 32.3
9. Sweden - 31.6
10. Iraq, bro - 29.8
11. Norway - 26.9
12. United Arab Emirates - 26.4
13. India - 25.5
14. Slovakia, the lowest, most "communist one" as Americans say - 24.1

Couldn't find the Gini for Saudi Arabia, but I am sure it's similar to its neighbors, which dingle around the mid 20s or low 30s.

Now look at these 12 war crimes the USA has done:

1. Iran 1953 - CIA + MI6 overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalized oil.
2. Guatemala 1954 - CIA toppled President Jacobo Árbenz after he pushed land reforms that were hated by U.S. corporations (United Fruit Company).
3. Congo 1960 - The U.S. indirectly supported the removal and 86 of Patrice Lumumba and backed Mobutu’s dictatorship.
4. South Vietnam 1963 - CIA green-lit the coup that ousted and 86 Ngo Dinh Diem.
5. Brazil 1964 - CIA supported the right-wing military junta that removed President João Goulart.
6. Chile 1970 - CIA spent millions trying to block Allende's election, then supported the military coup that put Pinochet in power.
7. Nicaragua 1980 - U.S. illegally funded the Contras to destabilize the Sandinista government.
8. Afghanistan 1979 - U.S. funded and armed the mujahideen to bleed the Soviets, destabilizing the region for decades (and indirectly creating conditions for the Taliban).
9. Iraq 2003 - Full-scale invasion removing Saddam Hussein, plunging country into chaos and sectarian war.
10. Lybia 2011 - NATO intervention helped topple Gaddafi, leading to civil war, militias, and slave markets.
11. Honduras 2009 - Not a CIA coup, but U.S. tacitly supported the military-backed ouster of President Zelaya by legitimizing the new government.
12. Syria 2011 - CIA's “Timber Sycamore” program armed various rebel factions, worsening the civil war.

As a Mexican struggling really hard because of the insane amount of damage the USA has done to us, Reagan and Nixon forcing us to join this pointless war on drugs just so we'd live in fear and work for you cheap, the whole Operation Fast & Furious under Gorge Bush, you promising us that you will save us for over 50 years, inflating your chest and whatnot, yet, your army lost to the Taliban after a decade of fighting them, to some Vietnamese farmers too, they didn't win the 1812 War, the Korean Wars (a stalemate, a really embarrassing one because the US had literally about 21 countries fighting in their side against the Soviets and China, and it was a god damn stalemate, dude, make some sense of that), they lost to Fidel Castro in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Iran Hostage Crisis from 1979, the Iraq War, lost the War on Drugs and also Terror, which is costing the USA trillions of dollars a year to fix today and still ongoing, to Vietnam, to Canada in 1812, Lebanon in 1982, Somalia in 1992, Afghanistan in 2001, the Operation Eagle Claw is never forgotten either, struggled so hard in Granada and Panama in the 1980s, struggling and clearly losing in Syria too. They also stole the credit of WWII like the typical leech in a dungeon group who only loots the corpses of the enemies at the very end. Oppenheimer's dad was a German-Jewish man, all the main creators of GTA are from Scotland and the UK, hamburgers were created in Hamburg (and wouldn't exist without the invention of the sandwich, which is English), hot-dogs were created in Germany, Stan Lee was the child of two Romanian-born Jews, his values and culture come from that place more than New York City...

And yet, I still see so many people coping so bad about the American army being "the strongest in the world" and posts like these about China. I used to think the USA was the hero of the world, our "best bet to achieve a utopia due to its cultural diversity and tolerance," lol, but I was wrong, I was naive. I even cried for Bradley Cooper's character in American Sniper, but then, I just remember that that dude killed so many innocent people that were forced to do evil to survive or reclaim their dignity... Like, what the hell is all this, seriously? These posts, these comments, these people, are they real? Do people still think the American Dream is a thing? You already lost me and so many more. I know a lot of you will say you don't care because I am a Mexican and I should be "fixing my own country instead of caring about yours" as I constantly get told by MAGAs. Thing is, if I want to help and save my country, I have to look at you, the biggest root of all. The biggest terrorist group in the entire world: The 'United' States of America.

After suffering so much, I'd prefer to live in China than the USA, I don't care about the censorship and authoritarian nonsense. It is what you people need because you are way too unruly, too messy, too chaotic. Over 20% of teachers in the USA have quit their job the past few years because these new generations of children are making them quit. I could go on and on about how horrible the USA is, it's super easy to be honest, it's tiringsome too. So, whenever I see posts like this one and comments glazing the American Army or even the government as a whole, I can't help but cringe so hard. I can't believe this is still a thing anymore. Wake up, it's over. America is nothing but a joke, a bad one. Stop coping, bro. I used to hate China so hard, but now, after I saw Trump win AGAIN, I completely gave up on you, all of you, every single one, because you lied to me through my entire life. I remember TV channels talking about China negatively only, showing the smog they had in 2010, the contamination and all that. I keep getting shown videos of Chinese people ignoring someone who got into an accident. I keep getting told that China sucks, that everyone there is living bad and unhappy. And now I see this post, trying to tell me that the government sucks so bad, yet they are more effective at protecting and pleasing their people than the USA. Why? What the hell is the point of all this?

Americans are really not that different from us, Mexicans. I see you both as equals. The exact same thing. You behave and sound very alike. You also share the same level of intelligence and loyalty to your country. Please, get me out of here. There is no money or no job that fits my skills of 3D modeling, creating gaming AIs like GOAP, Utility, FSM... I try so hard to create an indie game, just like I wrote books and had a shot at so many ideas to make money, I went to the ITESM which is the Harvard of Latin America, a lot of rich Americans go there themselves, I got there with a scholarship of 80%, I was very lucky and unlucky at the same time, because even though I graduated as a Software Engineer, I am still surrounded by a severe lack of opportunities, stability and people who rather see my little brother who has Down Syndrome dead. It's not worth working for you, to be honest. Posts like these only inspire me to seek support with my local Mexican cartels, because they are the only ones offering me a chance to enjoy my wasted youth. All my 20s wasted in mediocrity and dullness, because money is not moving, money is being used to fund wars and bomb children in Gaza. Some sources I saw here in Lemmy said we only need 93 billion USD a year to solve World Hunger, yet you spent over 20 trillion USD in the military over the past decade. That is about 10% of the budget to solve World Hunger over the same decade. You paid all that with your taxes, and you feed that machine by not doing anything about it at all. I only have respect for Luigi Mangione, and to me, there is no such thing as an "innocent" person in this world anymore. Not even a newborn. It is thanks to posts like these, people with mindsets like that, that I keep getting pushed to believe that the only way to make people understand and never forget that greed should be stopped as soon as possible, is by living through the worst yourselves. That's the difference between sympathy and empathy. Sympathetic people ONLY care when the bad thing like losing a child or whatever happens to them FIRST. Empathetic people, on the other hand, can imagine that pain without having lived that experience yet. This is why empathetic people are worth more than sympathetic ones. There should also be a cap on wealth, 10 million USD is a lot, but is a good start. That is literally almost 200 million MXN pesos. With that amount you can build 3 or 4 schools with your name on it. Wanna build a mall or something bigger? Be a human and work with people that think like you. Nobody should rely on a few billionaires, etc.
