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.

Go figure two assholes in a room and no one smells good

The circus is in town! Two clowns duking it out in the digital colosseum: one's waving a flag, the other's throwing shit. Meanwhile, we're all fucked sideways by the system they represent. But sure, keep tweeting your little hearts out while Rome burns. At least the engagement's good, right? Christ, we're so far down the rabbit hole, Alice would need a fucking space shuttle to find us.. Pass the soma, I'm checking out.

No, both are bad, you don't want a social credit system

Joke's on this guy, US is first at all of those!

[–] niketunic@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

things have changed. a lot.

[–] doughless@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

What are you talking about? He literally listed a bunch of things we're first at!

Aka; the rightful government of the entirety of China. May Taipei occupy Beijing once more

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 0 points 17 hours ago

Occupy or liberate? I would say liberate, right?

Stefanik is so dumb - it’s America Second.

Israel is first.

Pot, kettle ... a pox on both their houses?

I do not like this meme much. I grew tired of stock photos for "r/clevercomebacks".

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

🇺🇸 We're number one! 🇺🇸

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.

[–] _bac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

When has the US been anything but USA first, everyone else last in the last 70 years?
