People starving and going insane in Shanghai

[Anonymous]

Does this means that China is no longer a capitalist utopia? I could have sworn that was the narrative being pushed a few months ago

I think it is another word for soldiers

Looks like the US Consulate in Shanghai is ordering departure for all non-emergency personnel due to the COVID restrictions and "arbitrary enforcement of local laws and COVID-19-related restrictions" and includes the risk of parents being separated from their children.

So, yeah. Sounds like a barrel of laughs in that city.

Bullsh#t strawman argument.

No one wanted people forcibly locked up in their houses for weeks on end, unable to access food. Or the separation of children or killing pets. Find me one mainstream American politician who advocated for this insanity.

In fact, such policies would likely have mostly affected residents of large cities like NYC and DC disproportionately.

So yeah, no one wanted what you’re claiming.

China understands how to stop an outbreak. And this is how you stop it.

It’s the greatest tragedy in our history that Orange Doofus didn’t do the same thing here at the start of the pandemic. Think of the millions of lives that would’ve saved.

All that blood is on your hands, Freedumber’s. All of it.

you are an a$$ hat

But not wrong. Posters on this board constantly call for "true lockdowns."

Yes. I’m one of them. And not the least bit ashamed to admit it. If we’d taken measures like China’s back in March of 2020, there would never have been a pandemic here at all.

This whole thing is the fault of republicans, led by trump. Dems tried to implement real lockdowns that would’ve been effective, but they were cut off at the knees.

I would take the US approach over China's approach all day long. The greatest tragedy of our history would have been the forced lockdowns on our population.

No, the Dems wouldn't have. Trump gave them a safe space to talk about it and wring hands.

And, note that it hasn't been effective. Two years later, China is still having lockdowns. Still.

This makes sense. You can’t just live wherever you want to in china. Similar to the USSR, you have to have permission to move and settle somewhere. You have to officially register.

You have to register your move in most of Europe, too. Just don't need permission to do it. Dont make more of that than it is. Americans register their moves, they just don['t call it that because the registery is decentralized.

What on earth are you talking about? Americans registering their moves? That is not a thing.

Do you not put down a forwarding address with the post office? Do you get a new drivers license? Do you re-register to vote?

republicans continue to vote in both places. That’s the only way they can win. My XH’s family had dozens of people that all voted multiple times each election.

Then you don’t have any comprehension of what the word “tragedy” even means.

Hint: it’s not “being required to stay in your house for a couple weeks”, snowflake.
