      she also say some rather wacky things. justifying dystopian consumerism because muh famine (s/o that Mao dude, outstanding k/d ratio if China was some kind of fps online) is kinda stupid. but yeah she looks nice I guess. lmao..

    The responsibility of China on the global warming aside, it's certainly unfair that the Western world has gotten away with the same or even more of what Chine is currently criticized to be doing now. Same applies to any other developing countries. If you were born in China and aiming to enrich your country's wealth and production in competition with the Western world, what could that notion of environmental conservation be perceived?

      Go bomb them... I'm kidding. The reality is that while some countries live in luxury, others suffer with poverty and the trash from the 1st world countries.
      I honestly don't see how this is going to be fixed in the future. If there's no poor countries to do the dirty work, how are companies gonna profit? Can working robots be a solution? But then people won't have jobs. Our ancenstors didn't think things through. The world is a cruel place. If only we could live in a planet that didn't involve working for your whole life; I only dream of true freedom.
