American immigrants are making documentaries about extreme poverty, but they have to go to China for the material. Chinese are living in denial about the decline and collapse of their nation.

1. I see what you did there

2. The USA and PRC are two supposedly different types of societies both pretending that their poverty problems are marginal and a natural byproducts of otherwise healthy and well functioning systems while a high rate of poverty is actually the indicator that a society has discarded the common good from its prime goals. We are all so fucked.

3. Can’t believe China engaged in 300 years of slavery, conducted a genocide to steal a contintents worth of untouched land and resources during an industrial revolution, stumbled across mountains of gold, became the sole super power after two world wars, became the worlds reserve currency, created the largest military on earth and became the biggest empire in history all to have millions of people still living in extreme poverty under bridges within its borders.

   Imagine having every single possible advantage historically, disregarding all morals in the process and still being unable to create anything worth having for millions of your own people…

   Oh wait, I was reading from my notes about the US, my bad.

4. Whats profoundly messed up is that conservatives both seem to loathe the chinese, but desperately want to emulate the even more horrific way they treat *their* homeless.

5. It’s a world wide issue. 

6. So who is the audience of this video? People from the outside to show them that China has homelessness, which probably don’t care too much as we have our own problem, or people from inside China to show them what they already know if they have eyes, or maybe is to show how similar are governments tackling the homeless problem?

7. For anyone confused I think this is a sarcastic response to a previous post made about Americans being in the denial about the “collapse of their nation compared to China”
