Have you been to China?
The times I've been there it didn't appear to match this description. And the Chinese people I worked with didn't experience what you describe.
I have, and it did, and they did. Now.... they're americans. Yay! Or..no. Maybe they were wrong. Maybe now they're pigdog traitors of the western satan?

Harris has jumped on this and has been pointing out that if he can't handle campaigning, he is not going to be up for the presidency. It helps that while she says this, she is alert and bright-eyed. If she is fatigued at all by the campaign, she isn't showing it.
Hopefully, Trump continues his lethargic behavior for another three weeks.
She needs ads pointing this out aired in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. She needs to hammer this.

My nephew, who worked there for six months or so, was not so sanguine. @ The Grand Nudger is right, you're shilling without billing.

Same for some co-workers of mine who got an assignment there.

I have been to china a few times. Iris scan at customs. A tail wile out walking the streets of Shanghai. The feeling of being watched at all times. Asked why I went to the mens room before boarding my flight (because I chugged 3 Tsing Tao's in the lounge!).
We have mass surveillance here in the USA too I suppose.
ETA - I voted this morning.

So this is how Alpha men talk
Quote:Trump kicks off a Pennsylvania rally by talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia
The former president kicked off his rally with a detailed story about Arnold Palmer, at one point even praising the late, legendary golfer’s genitalia.
“Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women,” Trump said. “This is a guy that was all man.”
Then he went even further.
“When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, 'Oh my God. That’s unbelievable.' I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Oh, no. They love this sort of thing. It's a cock-waving exercise to them.
