That would still be taking money from kids. One would assume marketing is involved so that’s tricking kids into making a purchase.

My solution is simply stop letting kids have video games. If we want to censor things, let’s censor them.

So all games should be free?

We shouldn’t allow children online or playing video games. If we’re going full jack Thompson, let’s go full jack Thompson. No one under 21 gets Internet or games.

Assuming insurance covers it. And you only have a 60% chance of having it covered.

You sure they’re not wars? The several million dead injured, and enslaved non whites targeted in said wars probably disagree.

Median monthly income in China according to most sources I can find is just 1300-1400 USD. Still, 82 USD for that income is not expensive, and that’s for higher end private medical care outside the main healthcare system.

It’d be like an American paying for medical care with a weeks groceries.

…neither of those things were wars, and both of those campaigns were successful by any possible measure.

That’s a hell of a gpt response and all, but no, state capitalism isn’t a thing and left wing thought has evolved in the last nearly 200 years. Except in the US.

China didn’t have a war on terror or war on crime.

No, you people choose to be ignorant and believe the US government, instead of visiting China yourself or talking to someone in China or doing any research.

Even the CIA, by the way, has stated China has eliminated extreme poverty in the world Factbook.

I get it, a lot of rich white people paid for you to be the way you are; it’s still your fault to remain ignorant.

State capitalism isn’t a thing.

I could not care less if China has every single thing I’ve ever typed. They’re literally half a world away, and have never tried to launch a war on vague concepts.

The US government nor any corporate owner of the US government should have a single idea of my existence except for tax purposes.

It’s valuable, it’s not as valuable as the entire rest of the world combined. The US simply doesn’t have the user share to demand the service be sold off.

Please read the output of your LLMs if you’re going to use them, you said:

Well, the American one doesn’t have an incentive to turn its own people against its own government with propaganda. As is happening with Tiktok and pushing pro-CCP and anti-American content.

It’s simply not. It’s allowing Americans to speak freely on America without government interference.

All of that non sequitur is great, but the fact is no foreign country needs to do anything to make Americans hate their government. Nothing. Except provide a platform that allows free speech.

That’s all Tiktok is.

Except homeownership rates, poverty rates, homelessness, illiteracy, class mobility, workers rights, prisoners prisoners per capita…

The US is one of the worst countries given it’s comical amount of wealth, usually coming in at rank 40 or lower by pretty much any stat you choose… Except gross GDP, the number of prisoners, the number of proper capita, the number of slaves working for private corporations, and maternal mortality rates. That’s where the US excels that China simple can’t compete in, arresting people, forcing them to work for profit for companies, and killing women in child birth.

The US is a tiny market compared to the rest of users, why would they ever sell?

You want to know how to turn an American against the US government? Tell them, without exaggeration, what their government is doing to them; and tell them, without exaggeration, what other governments do for their citizens.

It’s that simple. No lies needed. No american with an IQ above a glass of undrinkable tap water likes their government or thinks their country is worth anything.
