China: “living in the future”
US Citizens Compare America And China
The one positive and profoundly moving sight since Trump’s inauguration is the millions of Americans who saw behind the veil thanks to Red Note. Watching this explosion of raised consciousness feels like an enormous sea-change taking place. Even history in the making.TikTok refugees flooding to the Chinese Xiaohongshu Red Note app to beat the ban returned on the reopening with tales of marvels they never believed possible. These modern Marco Polos rubbed the sleep out of their eyes and raged.
“We’re third world, they’re living in the future,” is one common refrain heard from people who never knew how badly they’ve been exploited. “We’ve been lied to,” is another. The abrupt realisation that needing two or three jobs just to survive, with no healthcare, their infrastructure and economy crumbling all around them in the world’s richest nation is neither normal not acceptable has stirred a collective sense of injustice. Monstering China’s model only benefits the elites, so that schtick may have lost its potency.
However, the minute Americans saw how Chinese live their lives, state jaws closed like a steel trap. But not before they’d compared the cost of living, affordable homes, healthcare, social cohesion and beautiful infrastructure and seen how badly they’ve been cheated.
Having seen it, they can’t now unsee it. And that means a ticking time-bomb for the ruling class.
Americans In Free Speech Clampdown
TikTok reopened on the day of its proposed ban palpably bowdlerised and changed for the worse. The initial fear that it was moved to Meta servers during the weekend blackout isn’t much assuaged by the discovery that it’s been hosted on Larry Ellison’s Oracle servers since June 2022.Dissenting creators and content were dumped or sidelined. Big Tech already abandoned fact-checks when Mark Zuckerberg caved into threats of imprisonment. It’s not only the end of the post-war liberal order and beginning of the aristocrat oligarchy. It’s also the end of 400 years of the fact, science and evidence-based Age of Enlightenment. Robber baron techno-feudalism is here and despises you.
We’re Third World, They’re Living In The Future
Welcomed into their Chinese counterparts’ homes on Red Note, they compared rents, food prices and work hours. They made friends and heard jokes along the lines of “I am your Chinese spy,” showing how smart, wry and generous they are in real life. A far cry from the anonymous ants and robots of age-old stereotypes fed to us by propagandists.They learnt the truth of China’s hard-won progress. How, in a few decades, China raised 800m out of absolute poverty and created a middle-class of 550m, nearly twice the population of the USA. China’s mere existence is an indictment of the US elites who swallowed US national wealth, pauperising everyone else.
In 2025 you don’t need the Red Pill because the truth is so hard to miss. Western workers were fattened like cattle, asleep in the American Dream while they snuck up on you. And now 170m TikTokers are in danger of being fed to the oligarchs like Morlocks herding Eloi into cattle pens.
Will they work out a way to challenge their oppression in the face of threats by the Trump Royal Family and their acolytes? It’s going to be fascinating to watch.
The two wings of the US state have been openly fighting each other to see who gets first dibs on exploiting the American people. They’re fighting over who gets the best cuts, not over protecting their people. What started with Reagan beating Carter to the White House with the aid of hostage shenanigans ended by reversing the share of national wealth.
