    I hate China about as much as I hate USA

    both-sides galaxy-brain

    bothsidesism truly is the laziest algorithm of politics. you simply declare that you “hate equally” two sides that are “equally bad” without any material analysis of what their relative imperfections may be. One does not have to think China is perfect or even good to see that it is not the global hegemon with 800 military bases and 5000 nukes and several torture dungeons waging multiple proxy wars simultaneously while couping, sanctioning, embargoing, and invading anyone that threatens its supremacy.
