America has been truly 'oligarchal' for approximately the past one month, whereas China has been a totalitarian state for the better part of a century.

Why not compare the Allies with the Axis next? The US was segregated, right, so... hey, same difference! /s

The US has a pretty extensive 100+ year history of imperialism, destabilization and violence in LATM [1], which is where they are from.

Everyone knows that.

A surprising number of people don't seem to know the first thing about China. Hey, it might not help that China doesn't allow a fifth of the world to learn the history of China.

But let's talk again in four years. The way things are going in America, I may agree with you guys by then :(
