    Bro pollution was a huge issue in the USSR. In China, its worse than it’s ever been. You must know that “abolishing capitalism” won’t fly in the US, not this decade.

    Can’t we celebrate the steps we take to reduce the problem, however small?

      I got the opportunity to visit China as a kid in the 90s. Amazing country with a lot of history and cultural works that deserve recognition (including those from periods of time that deserve recognition for how terrible they were). That said, I would blow my nose at the end of the day in Shanghai and the tissue would come away black with soot.

      Not supporting or detracting from your points, just adding some “flavor” from my experience.

      Lmfao, love it when bootlickers just can’t help but willingly broadcast their ignorance like this, it always gives me a good chuckle, thanks!

      (hint: those whatabout examples weren’t/aren’t communism, but state-capitalism, and therefore not the “gotcha” you think it is, not that that would ever stop you from repeating the same wilfully ignorant bullshit every time you feel personally attacked by someone pointing out how terrible capitalism is 🤦‍♀️😂)

        Yeah, you’re cancer. Capitalism might be bad, but people like you are even worse for setting normal people against the cause.

        The entire world will not change overnight. You can keep being a toxic dickhead, or grow the fuck up and accept that.

          That’s why we’re all fucked.

              Uhh, no, I’m pretty sure it’s the fact that oil companies convinced the world that capitalism is the only way.
