I'll seriously consider what you've said with supporting evidence. It's the first I've heard of this. I'm open to being taught.

One of my experiences in China was witnessing an underground Muslim gathering and religious ceremony. We were warned about why they must operate in secret due to potential government action.

If we do change the statement from genocide to persecution, I suppose China gets a better profile, but I don't think it is a talking point that "China's socialism is better than US Capitalism because of their religious freedom."

My initial argument is still that both systems suck.

This one of the markers I would use for a "good" system:

The Inequality Adjusted Human Development Index.

Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland... these are the leaders in this index. How? A high-welfare free market economy.

This is capitalism but with a foundation of human rights built on high taxes using examples like net wealth tax.

Incredible you can't contain your insults or emotions. Guess you really are part of a shit system. I'm convinced!

I'm glad you bright this up because this one of the markers I would use for a "good" system:

The Inequality Adjusted Human Development Index.

I think New Zealand has a great example of how historically socialist political organizations have integrated a capitalist economy in a way that still continues to promote the welfare of their people.

Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland... these are the leaders in this index. How? A high-welfare free market economy.

This is basically capitalism but with high taxes using examples like net wealth tax.

Also, it's not fair to use a statistic like 90% approval rating. The state controls all the data and media. That's like trump saying he's the best that ever lived. Okay, but that's not actually true!

Oh absolutely not. I simply treat my commentary on the internet in line with how I treat people face to face. I don't know you or what is going on in your life. What things you've achieved or suffered. I simply cannot devolve a person to fit my needs because I'm hiding behind an anonymous keyboard. I'm not trying to take a moral high ground either. I want us to reach common ground in the end.

I'm convinced 99% of the world cares about a few common goals: health, family, housing, entertainment, peace and fairness.

The fact we are struggling with each other to to figure the best way to get that... shit. You're like a great person compared to so many that don't even think about these things or have the education to consider it. It's okay that we disagree or misunderstand each other. I'm giving us both the benefit of the doubt that our intent is good and not just selfishly.

1 in 32000 is very close to the ratio of deaths from COVID itself. And they recommended 3 shots minimum with continuous maintenance doses!!

Myocarditis from the mrna vaccine has killed several people which is the point I was making.

I got three shots myself and they didn't work (according to the same doctors who administered them). Imagine my resentment in not being able to grocery shop without my vaccine card which only increased my heart disease risk without any of the benefit. I had to go back and get antibodies directly injected at a later date. Then still got a fever of 104 for 36 hours. It's sort of hard to believe all the bullshit from my perspective. I still think masks are the way to go.
