i think the chinese sealed their victory like twenty years ago, as long as we avoid any nuclear incidents. i’m pretty optimistic about the long-term future outside of concerns about who is going to end up in control of america’s nukes when it collapses.

if the US ends up balkanizing, which seems like the probable end result to me, it’s almost inevitable that without some kind of huge foreign intervention nuclear weapons are going to end up in the hands of someone who will use them.

while obviously the world has a bumpy road ahead that’s the one roadblock i see with no plausible way (that i can think of) around it.

They kind of already are in a way. Their populace is happy with the government and the government itself is going in the opposite direction the USSR was going when it started to fall prey to capitalist corruption. CPC is actively rooting out corruption I the ranks and moving towards more socialist policies, nationalizing industries etc. It’s hard to just stop that kind of momentum. Meanwhile the US gets worse every day. So are far as which society will collapse first. Which one will have the most civil unrest etc, it’s definitely the US.

That all being said I don’t know which side has better propaganda because most Westerners are uneducated enough to just believe anything they are told and been indoctrinated into a kind of mentality that if someone argues them, regardless of fact, then they are wrong and bad and to be ignored.
