There are tons of things to critisize about plenty of places. I totally get the desire to do so. I’m not talking about any flavor of it in particular. Like idc what your politics are it still applies. I just find it so pointless. Other than cases like Israel where they’re like publically slaughtering thousands of innocents and the entire world is in agreement over it being a problem. (And the US is also pretty responsible for that anyway).
Like the US is a mess. It’s by far the most destructive force on Earth. It bombs, pollutes, economically sanctions, etc to other countries. It treats its own people like shit too. No healthcare, Student debt, etc.
So if you’re in the US why would you ever waste your limited time critisizing like for example, Chinese internet censorship, or Mexico having a crime problem, or any of this other bullshit? When there are so many more pressing issues to be worried about right in your own backyard? We all have limited energy and time. 100% of that should be going towards the things that need fixed in the US itself. Everything else is just a distraction.

Over the last couple of years I’ve begun watching content coming out of African countries and I’m seeing the ridiculous stance of America and Euro countries where they expect African nations not to have positive relations with China or Russia but Europe and America instead; like what an absolute joke; if ANY part of the world should be cutting ties with Europe and America it would be Africa. Forget that historically the relationship between colonial countries and Africa has been poison to African nations, even currently Western powers are a poison to them, and they’re surprised African countries would rather work with Russia and China? Heck, the Soviet Union literally helped in anti-colonial struggles, and the people these African nations needed help against? Western nations.
Literally the only appropriate response to Europeans and Americans getting uppity about working with them instead of China is to laugh in their face and say no.
Just look at the disgusting comments coming from Macron towards countries in Africa to get an example of why the global South should turn their back on all these countries who built their nations on their wealth, countries that would all fail very quickly if the free lunch was stopped. Libs have the audacity to criticize countries in Africa when it’s literally Western powers tearing African countries down again and again and poaching any talent from their countries for themselves; doctors and nurses who leave African countries add to the pool of medical professionals in Euro nations but take away from the pool in the countries they left behind. Western governments are the reason these countries are struggling, and also robbing them of their wealth, and then they turn around and say it’s some failing on the part of African countries.
Global South countries should just laugh in these people’s faces and pivot to China; China’s not overthrowing governments or bombing any countries, let alone African, Middle Eastern or South American countries.
