Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

The reason is America didn’t reign in its billionaires like China did. Those narcissistic children destroyed America to gain power over it. They plan to do it across the whole planet unless we stop them.

This is it. China also has billionaires, but they aren't more powerful than the state.
And they know that.
They use at least a part of their wealth to support their society, cause there's a realistic danger that they'll lose it all if they get too cocky.
Truth. Except I don't think it's just America... It's like psychopathic mindset and lifestyle that is nationless. America was just the weakest nation and got pwnd by them.
Real players of the game think above the state.
Show me evidence that they aren't above the state
Wholly agree, not to mention the long time horizons China operates with. Compared to short term shareholder profits we haven't stood a chance since Reagan
That’s all billionaires. They deal in short term because their lives are short term. They are parasites. They don’t care about the future of America because their narcissism makes them think they could do this anywhere. They want everything now and don’t care about the long term because they will insulate theirselves from the consequences. That’s why all of them have compounds and private security forces.
