Why aren't we drone striking these violent gangs already? We should turn their hideouts into the next Gaza Strip.

They're not out of food. They can't afford food. People also can't get quality food that doesn't have loads of chemicals or other shit the chinks put in them because they're lazy. See gutter oil.

Chinese gutter food has to be on almost the same level of disgusting as Indian street food, just with a little bit less human shit.

IDK I just find it hard to fathom how you default on a government loan in a totalitarian dictatorship, its a controlled, communist economy, they set your wages and can also garnish them so..... are people just not working in your mind?

I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Is incoherence a CCP strategy or something?
I asked AI to summarize the Chinese real estate situation:
///
  • Falling Home Prices: Home values have dropped significantly, with the national residential home price index declining over 14% since August 2021. In 2024 alone, home values fell by 4.8% year-over-year. Some urban areas have seen even steeper declines, with reports of home prices falling by 20% over the past four years and projections of another 10% drop before bottoming out by 2027.
  • Widespread Declines: By late 2023 and into 2024, over 90% of tracked Chinese cities reported month-to-month home price decreases, and in certain months, all 70 major cities saw prices fall.
  • Underlying Causes: The collapse is driven by a combination of:
    • Excessive developer debt and defaults (notably Evergrande and Country Garden).
    • Oversupply of unsold homes, with tens of millions more units than there are residents.
    • Weak buyer confidence due to economic uncertainty and falling prices.
    • Demographic decline, with China’s shrinking and aging population reducing housing demand.
    • Stricter government regulations on lending and speculative buying, limiting new investment.
  • Economic Impact: The real estate sector was once nearly a quarter of China’s economic output. Its downturn has severely affected household wealth, consumer confidence, and overall economic growth.
  • Government Response: Authorities have implemented stimulus measures, such as lowering mortgage rates and encouraging local governments to buy unsold properties. However, these efforts have had limited effect, especially in smaller cities where demand remains weak.
  • Outlook: Analysts expect the weakness to persist through at least 2025, with further price declines and falling investment. Broad-based stabilization or recovery is not anticipated in the near term.
In summary, China’s real estate collapse is a structural crisis marked by oversupply, falling prices, developer defaults, and waning demand due to demographic and economic headwinds. It is one of the most significant and persistent challenges facing China’s economy today.

Looks accurate. Literal scam economy based on building empty cities for "investment" while most of their population lives in dirt huts.

So did you farmers from Texas post "got what I voted for!" seconds before drowning in a flood you had no warning of and got no support from FEMA (which trump gutted) for?

Defunding hasn't actually happened yet poo-nigger.

Rare flood event combined with bad timing in the early morning hours and the overuse of the emergency alert system leading to learned complacency. Go back to eating bags of chinese dicks like cereal.

Not exactly today but it was overlooked because everybody was freaking out about a list that existed only in the deranged mind of Ghislaine Maxwell:

The Supreme Court overruled the lower courts blocking the EO that would fire hundreds maybe thousands of useless bureaucrats infesting the federal government and have stated that it's likely to be ruled legal in trial.

SCOTUS has refused to issue a stay pending appeal on the injunction in Florida in the case brought by a bunch of illegal immigrant activists.

I knew Uthmeier wasn't as smart as Moody. Looks like he's been losing all the way in this case. It also looks like he had improperly filed an interlocutory appeal to the Circuit court without first making a motion to stay in the District court, blah blah blah he's gonna fuck it all up.

The Democrat Party has demonized ICE agents for enforcing immigration law, which could hinder their plans to achieve total dominance through demographic transformation.

Their last vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, calls ICE a “modern-day Gestapo.” Prominent street-shitter of Congress Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) has doubled down on calling ICE a “terrorist force.” Their psycho rhetoric is amplified by the neoliberal media propagandists, working the party’s Antifa brownshirts into a frenzy.

Consequently, this is what life is like for ICE agents on the streets of San Francisco:

we have Chicago and Detroit we are in no place to talk about "unused" citys
Click to expand...
Those cities (Chiraq and Detroit) were constructed when the area was productive and inhabited. They are vacant now because people have left those cities.
They were  not constructed for the sake of it to act as investments and GDP creation much like the chingchong ones they're being compared to.
There is a clear difference.

the styrafoam building shit is genuine US propaganda, it would take WAY more time money and effort to make a building out of anything other than wood or brick and like

Believe it or not, bricks, mortar, wood, cement, and the construction they are used in can vary wildly in quality. If you use low quality materials, and put them together poorly, you will have a crap building, despite technically being the same materials.

alright level with me boss man, lets just assume Im retarted alright cause im alot of things but Im no country but my owns shill. I love America and Im proud of being an American, I just think our government is lying to us about people and things they have a vested interest in lying to us about and I think China is one of them

we are talking about a nation of 1.4 billion and you are buying that they have TO MUCH housing? Or that somehow the nation that makes 90% of the worlds manufactured goods dosent have a solid work force? Like to much of reality dosent line up with whats being said how can they be making so much of the worlds shit and yet not have an employed and payed workforce that has to live SOMEWHERE.

Like read you last line, you really believe that? not being mean like you really think the nation making 50% of the WORLDS commercial ships lives in DIRT HUTS? You dont have to like them or think highly of them but do you realize how "level 1 propaganda" that feels. These people have nuclear attack submarines and gen 5 fighters, DIRT HUTS? Im not offended or upset btw Im just blown away at how powerful my own nations propaganda has become like this is a huge blindspot in our nation if we dont correct it. They have their OWN spacestation for petes sake we needed the russians help for that!

What about the replica of downtown Paris that was built in the middle of nowhere? It could house hundreds of thousands and support them with shops and other amenities, but not a single unit of it was ever occupied.

There is no industry around it, it's not serviced by rail, so it wasn't built to be a suburb. It is empty spectacle, built to keep statistics up.
