    Can’t humanity benefit from technology without it being some conflict between “China” (aka some official enemy) and “The West” (aka white supremacy)?

    Capitalism, nationalism, and related systems completely subvert actual progress for the sake of violent control and profiting off planetary destruction.

      That seems to be the difference between China and the west in a nutshell. China keeps promoting shared future for humanity and cooperation, while the west keeps trying to create a new cold war where blocs compete against one another.

      How is the west white supremecy? You sound like a racist when you say that and it hurts your credibility, especially in a larger conversation about some of the other points you mention.

      Go walk into a tech building in the west in the USA and you’d find that white people are a fraction of the workers present, and even then it’s European transplants also in the office. It is unironically very diverse. Teams I worked on were not strictly white people or majority white. And taking it even further - why be racist in the first place?
