Americans said that they hated freedom 100 years ago because the environment was dirty, there were murders, and medicine was dangerous, but the US is now a police state and the environment is still dirty, there are still murders, and medicine is still dangerous.

Why do people still call China a communist country?

In all reality, China now has a bigger middle class than America does today and unlike in America the majority of young people live in single family homes today.

This wouldn't be true if it really were a communist shithole. So.... is our government lying to us about China?

> Communism, political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production (e.g., mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society. Communism is thus a form of socialism—a higher and more advanced form, according to its advocates. Exactly how communism differs from socialism has long been a matter of debate, but the distinction rests largely on the communists’ adherence to the revolutionary socialism of Karl Marx.

Know what we don't see in the above definition? Anything to do with middle class or single family homes.

I visit China on occasion. Huge country of course, so it's hard to generalize, just like we have beautiful well-off areas in the US but also total drugged out shitholes. China doesn't have a drug problem but there are definite areas of poverty. That's what the media usually shows. But in general, China has been based for the past 25 years or so. It's actually free in ways we are not, which is both good and bad. 

However, look into what home "ownership" means in China. It is not for life.

China has grown enormously when they adopted free market policy although China is very unique, just because they allow free market capitalism does not mean they allow corporations to hijack control over their politicians, government policy or dictate their way of life. If they see corruption or a risk to national security, or a risk to the welfare of their population, they are not hesitant to shut it down and break it up with force and intolerance. This is what America should have been doing all along, allowing the free market but at the same time stomping out corruption, exploitation and subversion thereof and making sure the welfare of your population is protected. China did this. America failed to do this.

In China they'll allow you to buy a home. What they will not allow you to do is buy up whole neighborhoods all over the place, in order to price gouge people via cornering the housing market for hundreds of thousands of rental properties. In China they crack down on financial predators. They won't allow carte blanche monopolization and corruption of the market place, rightly so.

You're right that China is more capitalism now from an economic point but Libertarian/anarchist communism is still strong like freedom of speech forced lifestyles and state media etc. The west is falling in similar waters and the funny part is it's the fucking left wing white male hating commies that are doing it.

nice frens will come your way, i just lost two friends who i was very close with on and off. i try my best to be nice and accepting since i was always lonely and shy growing up, but a lot of people will take advantage of that. 
life is about the journey though dont give up

 >>/79786/

i've lost all my friends over the years but i just didn't return their phone calls because proprietary communication made me uncomfortable. i was worried of people kept using this shit then this would be the beginning of a surveilance state. i knew they were gonna become compliant normie cattle before i had words to express this worry.

man was i right...

don't be worried about not having friends. you are evolutionary inclined towards having them but in this day and age, they are just a source of unfairness in your life and it is not true that you can't live without any. you can. but if you don't want to, time to get creative.

the way you deal with it is to find ways to meet people who could be friends to you. people bend themselves in all kind of undignified ways like pretending to believe in an allpowerful invisible skydaddy just to have something in common with other people but i encourage you to not repeat the mistakes of the idiot older generation.

 >>/80005/
At least the "idiot" older generations learned to read and write, knew how to fix utilities and have some life skills. Entertainment was way better quality too.

I'm not blaming younger generations though. I blame the government and Congress because they bankrupted the country with endless wars and debt insolvency, almost all the problems we have now, including economic, is the result of very stupid arrogant political policies the last 3 decades. Smartphones did nothing to help with current social problems either.

If anything I think we need a hard reset back to 1949.

Imagine how fucking cool it would be if we still had the free market of the 1980s but the digital revolution of the internet at the same time. Forget just CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray. We could have advanced digital cassettes that could store 8TB worth of music and videos for various consoles connected to TVs and new stereo sets that could random shuffle your collections. DVD discs that could hold 2TB of data each. AI players that could scan your favorite movies and TV shows and make continuous new AI generated remakes. AI video game systems that generate new versions of your favorite games and you could burn them to discs. All kinds of really cool stuff.

But no..... gotta use AI and technology to kill people in wars and spy on all of us instead! Fucking governments suck.

 >>/79895/
Would be awesome but cannot happen under such a centralized hyper-controlled over-regulated economy where the top 1% control nearly all capital and investment. Monopolized markets like we have today drastically reduce consumer choice and available options and often restrict alternative forms of innovation.

The women were often hotter too. I loved the curly bushy 80s hair style, they looked magnificent, it was authentic to that era and totally rocked. Now days you look at many women, they are fat, nose rings make them look like mad cows, multi-color dyed hair often indicates having terrible mental disorders, expectations are way too high today, overly bossy cannot chill out at all, eyes glued to their gadgets half the time, it's really sad what has become of our dying country. It makes me very happy I'm getting old.

Remakes are ALWAYS fake and gay because our whole modern "culture" is fake and gay today. It really is. Every damn thing about this country today REALLY IS Fake And Gay. Let it sink in. You'll yearn to go back, you'll survive going back and adopting everything that is old.

Without Warning (1994). In a made for TV movie based in the early 1990s, news anchors over television broadcast begin documenting an end of the world scenario in real-time as multiple asteroids were detected descending to hit Earth and possibly upend human civilization. The Pentagon war plans striking them with nuclear-armed ballistic missiles before the asteroids hit planet Earth despite enormous risk.

October Sky (1999). Based on a true story, a high school student's fascination about rockets grows after the first Soviet Union satellite was launched into space. His father runs the local coal mine in a small coal mining town in West Virginia, who expects him to one day work his way into the same position as he is but his son does not care for mining coal and instead strives to study and learn rocket science and take up practice launching smaller ones with his friends. Very few in town believe these high school kids will get anywhere or be successful.... until those kids prove them all wrong.

What rubs me the wrong way is all the modern movies today are either retarded woke super hero movies, non-sense childish animation or some dystopian mad max future where white men get enslaved and beat down. The generations today produce absolute fucking filth and garbage, I just can't watch that shit either. Luckily we have older movies which are far FAR superior.

The reason movies and television were so much better throughout the '50s - '90s eras is because our society was far better and enjoyed more artistic freedom and competition in the market place. Plus the fact producers could not rely on full blown CGI and flashy special effects alone as technology was far more limited. This means they relied on good acting, hiring professional stunt actors, had to keep the story lines suspenseful and interesting and it overall made movies feel more human.

We let government get too big and we did not heed the warnings of our Founding Fathers who told us this would happen. Just like our Founding Fathers warned us not to get involved with foreign entanglements and the dangers of central banking.



The government should have never been able to grow so big and create so much debt, it was a huge mistake and now 65% of Americans are poor and indebted because of outrageous failed economic, political and foreign policies.

One of the biggest mistakes of the 21st Century besides the endless wars in the Middle East was the federal student loan program that was created. The price of college tuition absolutely skyrocketed, a huge grift and bailout for universities, all at the expense of younger generations, many who are still mindlessly going into debt slavery because of it. Now of-course the government is promoting the idea of forgiving student loan debts on one condition: they join the military and die for Israel.

In the Law of Attraction (Mike Dooley, The Secret, etc.), it is often said that if a person writes a list of their future partner on a piece of paper, 
they will later meet that partner. 

BUT:
It is never independently confirmed.
The list is never actually shown, and the partner never shares their side of the story.


Has anyone here ever actually experienced it themselves?
Does manifestation partner stuff even work?
