It’s absolutely true that China’s economic growth and the effectiveness of the government’s COVID response is a factor, but my point was that the government has an enormous ability to influence the population. Of course the government you live under is going to have an advantage when it comes to having your approval. I’ve tried to make a point that being almost universally approved by the people that live under it is not an objective measure of morality or the amount of good it does, just popularity, and popular things aren’t always moral or good. I would also add that these numbers could simply be fudged, but I don’t know enough about the source to say that for certain and I knew you definitely wouldn’t believe it if it was true anyway.

But from how these responses are worded, I’m guessing that no matter what I say you’re just gonna stick with this narrative and let your brain decide that any information you take in is either in support of what you believe or a lie. I’m gonna go now.

Edit: after re-reading your earlier comment im actually curious about where you got that image of a graph. I know you said where it was from, but you never provided a link or the name of what it was from. That’s kind of bad form, you gotta properly cite your sources. Can you reply with it because I’m actually trying to learn more about China (cause, yk, they’re becoming kinda important) and also I think it would be funny if you were lying about the data and refused to link it

Are you going to address my actual point or just accuse me of not understanding kindergarten level math?

What a country thinks of its own government is not a good metric for how that government is actually doing. Quite a bit of disapproval shows significant cracks in unity, but significant approval just shows that people believe in their government. National pride was also pretty high when the United States was (it still is but I’m referring to when national pride was high) going around committing war crimes against any small nation that leaned communist and domestic terrorism against its own people in the 20th century.

And almost half of America approves of trump, what’s your point?

That already exists, look up winlator. It’s just that the overhead is god awful.

So you’re saying even MY pictures have probably been edited by my phone without my consent? That’s really bad. I didn’t opt into this. I don’t like what this could be used for.

I like when my phone captures actual unedited pictures. I think it’s dangerous to modify recordings automatically without the user’s express consent.

Ew why

You forgot to include nuclear waste and finger nails. Rookie mistake.

If you want exact syntax free of cultural influence stop speaking English and make up your own language.

It’s kind of hilarious that a word literally derived from “awoken” in pronunciation, spelling, and meaning is these people’s prime insult.

Of course there’s a ready-made, detailed FAQ list for anyone who asks that question. I don’t know why I didn’t expect that.

I can’t promise I’ll read all of that, but then again if I can’t read up on something then maybe I should stop publically calling things into question. Thank you for taking the effort to provide this information.

Cool, but… What do we do? What’s an alternative solution?
