    Neither country really has a leg to stand on here. China sucks too.

    Taiwan #1!

    as a canadian, i think it’s pretty safe to say the US is not first in much these days.

    To be fair, we have no idea how many COVID infections or deaths China had or how many prisoners they have. It isn’t like they are the most transparent with either matter.

    Everything else he said checks out. 🇺🇲

      We have 2 million prisoners for 330 million people.

      They claim 1.6 million prisoners for their 1.4 billion people.

      Even if it were double what China claims, per capita we keep far more of our people in bondage, because we found and disgustingly prioritize the private profit in it. More prisoners for private for profit prisons, and more slave labor leased out to for profit corporations.

      We put people in cages using any excuse to increase quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. “Land of the free,” Lo fucking L.

            All the R have been bought and paid for. So have most of the D, for that matter.

          At this point I trust their government and our government equally.

          As an American, I would take the word of any single European union member nation over the word of both China and the US claiming anything in unison.

        The number of imprisoned is the point he made, not the per capita.

    It’s also a bit rich that the Chinese dude gets labeled by X as ‘state affiliated media’ (which it probably is) but X itself apparently not? Which it definitely is.

      This whole screenshot is basically one state’s propaganda machine vs. another.

      Just because the Chinese propaganda machine is acting the straight man in this particular interaction, doesn’t mean they don’t have skeletons in their own closet

        Yeah, while I agree with some of his jabs - it is immensely ironic that China is #1 in two of mentioned anti-US criticisms.

        Yo very unrelated, but thank you for mentioning that phrase “skeletons in their own closet”! I’ve been listening to a song for a few months which uses that metaphor and I couldn’t exactly figure out what it meant (it’s in Greek and didnt expect that phrase to exist in english too). (This is the song if you care, lol.)

    Legally murdering it’s own citizens in droves in capitalist confidence schemes like the Healthcare Insurance scam industry to increase private stockholder profit?

    Ok I’m not defending her here but this is a stupid reply because she’s obvuously referring to prioritizing the interests of America, not that America is #1.

    He’s not wrong in what he said, it’s just the wrong tweet to dunk on.

      When someone doesn’t speak in complete sentences it is likely harder to translate with proper understanding.

      Put America’s priorities first and America comes in first can be shortened to the same two words. What we know for sure is we don’t put education first.
