China's Government is going all Psycho-Pass on their country

[stanleyopar2000]

Plastic Tac Tic, no one can be driven insane anymore
You’re also in this plastic beautiful world
In a world that’s too pretty, I can’t see the light for some reason
and my rupturing heart is an infinite reflection

secret remains for you, don’t expose the fake colors and the future
fake’s plastic world, keep it secret motion

Secretive and confined
Even the visible things are my fake show
They’re the reverse of the truth

whoa...So fitting


retrospective: holy shit season 1 was so good...

Would you expect less from a COMMUNIST country? The USA is headed in the same direction fast... KING OBAMA!

Obama is lightyears away from being a communist

Imagine if there were no social institutions or minimum wage, people would be forced to do low paying jobs to survive. If it weren't for U.S. social laws, the U.S. might have more factories than China.

Realistically, the only reason anyone in the US accepts China's treatment of workers ethically is that they provide the necessary backbone to continue sustaining our highly consumerist country.

We could pay a little more for products that were produced ethically. The U.S. is a rich country. I think we would be better off if we had to produce all of these products in the U.S. Globalization hurts everyone.

I wouldn't say "light years" away- his policies very much are in line with income redistribution and other leftist ways of thinking. He is not, however, a communist.

Bernie Sanders, on the other hand...

The man chose to have his honeymoon in the Soviet Union.

If that guy gets elected, all bets are off.

China is kind of an odd dichotomy, as countries go. It has the overbearing, crushing hand of the 1950s style communist government, yet at the same time has what seems to be deliberately lax standards in other places. So you end up being monitored by The Party to make sure you aren't saying anything they might not like, under penalty of disappearance and death. Yet at the same time you can horribly poison the water supply, put melamine in the milk, put a brown cloud so large you can see it from space in the air, and subject your employees to conditions so horrendous that they commit suicide to escape work and expect little to no repercussions for it.

The difference between Sanders and Putin are that Sanders is a Democratic Socialist while Putin is a Communist Dictator

The problem isn't that the products are produced in China to lower costs for consumers, they're produced in China to increase margins for companies. Consumers as a whole won't pay more for ethical reasons, but they're happy to pay more for a brand name like iPhone, which already has huge margins and could quite easily be produced in the US and still turn a tidy profit.
