This post is misinformation. [Statistical Communiqué for 2024 on national economics by the National Bureau of Statistics of China] (www.stats.gov.cn/…/t20250228_1958822.html): “In 2024, the per capita disposable income nationwide was 41,314 yuan, an increase of 5.3 percent over that of the previous year or a real increase of 5.1 percent after deducting price factors” Tell me how growing your disposable income by 5% a year is “not being able to afford anything”

This is my gripe with tankies. One of the most salient points of 1984: “It was now impossible for any human being to prove by documentary evidence that the war with Eurasia had ever happened.” “Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.” All war is fake except the class war.

It’s been so fun seeing USians freak out at the remote prospect that they might have to live like people in other countries do. USians on Reddit spent the entire 2023 complaining about prices of Doordash delivery, and then they’re also irked that games cost 60$ now. But cooking at home for a couple days instead of ordering pizza again? Not an option. “Ooh we have to work all day, we don’t have time for cooking.” Well guess how people eat in other countries? They cook at home after work. Boo fucking hoo.
