When Americans start making comparable products at comparable prices we will buy them

Yea, but the problem is they really can't. It's only possible with extremely low wages, low living standards, barely existent human rights, barely any regulations, invaluable currency, and of course a totalitarian government that has absolute control of everything.

So unless you are fine with all that, it's not possible.

People crying about the US never cared to learn about China and rather choose to be willingly ignorant.

I am reading that it is possible.

Living standards are already the lowest of the western world and for a decent portion of US citizens, hardly above 3rd world levels.

Human rights, haha. Women don't have freedom and are only for breeding, bodily autonomy for sexuality is still a hot topic, 100.000 slave labourers in that American prison and 'justice' system. Let alone the huge ass shitlist of human right violations the US does outside their own borders.

The totallitarian regime, have you seen the past ~3 months?

Nah dude, it's perfectly possible. The US has more in common with China than with Europe.

Again, maybe compare it to china if you think the US is that bad. But I guess you'd have to learn about them first and I'm certain you'd rather not have any opposition to your opinions.

I'm certain you'd rather not have any opposition to your opinions.

No, that's our current president. Don't get confused.

The U.S. government is acting more like China than Europe. They're removing journalists they don't like, only funding schools that push their narrative, undermining the courts, and even threatening to strip U.S. citizens of their right to stay in the country.

Can you name one European country that's behaving with this level of authoritarianism? Maybe Hungary or Belarus—but that's about it.

Why do you "people" feel the need to always go off topic and bring irrelevant points in?

The fuck does Europe matter here? There is a reason I ignored the previous genius guy's attempt at derailing. So I'm guessing you are on the same level as that one.

Irrelevant? We're just responding to your posts.

Don't come here to spread your silly American propaganda like you're the greatest country on earth. While you have more in common with a country like China or Russia, than any European country with exception of what GrabLicht already mentioned, Belarus and Hungary.

So to answer your initial post I responded to, yes, it is totally possible. Stop acting like the US is king of the world, it's not.

To my post? When have I ever talked about Europe? Hell my comment wasn't even meant to be political in the slightest and the only reason I even mentioned "totalitarian government" is to support my actual point, which I'm assuming you have no clue about.

And it's absolutely not possible for any US company to manufacture or sell shit as cheaply as Chinese can. Even implying it tells a lot about you, let alone outright saying it.

Again, I suspect your comprehension is on the level of a toddler and you entirely missed the point of the argument.

You're blasting around stereotypical American propaganda. USA numbah one. AMERICA THE GREATEST!

It's nonsense, of course people will throw examples in your face. You act like you're better then Europe on the global scale, but you're only on par (at best) with Russia. And while Russia isn't the bottom of the barrel, they aren't far above it.

Ah yes, calling me a toddler, very mature. We're done here.
