I take issue with Americans taking their business to foreign governments that are happily and gleefully accelerating the corruption of said domestic powers into the exact behavior that is causing Americans to want to shop elsewhere.

It's going "I dislike how my government is treating me, so I'm going to support the people that are contributing to why my government is treating me that way."

That is just sad.

Our capitalist's Greed, avarice, the desire to treat their countrymen as livestock so they can live as modern pharoahs on our back and the willingness to bribe their own regulators and capture the government with their capital (power) they're only supposed to have a single vote in is why the government treats us as livestock.

It's ridiculous you think China made our owner class act as murderous sociopaths in order to amass their ridiculous hoards.

The CCP had nothing to do with our for profit healthcare insurance sector murdering their own customers, our citizens with the approval of both parties, when they become inconvenient to private profit as just one of countless examples. China has their own sins, that isn't one of them.

We are the primary vector destabilizing governments and waging wars to expand our greed disease around the world to keep resources and markets open to our capitalist's exploitation because it's never fucking enough. No one forced us into that. Our owners just demanded moar.

If you want Americans to be loyal, establish social and economic equity. Until then, don't expect the tortured masses to thank or appreciate their torturers, let alone have loyalty to them. That's just Stockholm syndrome.

That's a nice big load of nonsense you have there. Unfortunately for you, it's already been proven that Chinese interests are funding anti-american/Republican think tanks, non profits, and politicians.

What antiamerican think tanks, non-profits, and politicians exist in America?
