We outsourced the need for reproduction to the periphery. But we’re also a deeply racially anxious nation, such that 1.4B Han Chinese and another 1.4B East Indians fundamentally terrifies us as some kind of threat to… idk, Aristotle and Elvis Western Culture? Like humanity as we know it will be irrevocably changed if we don’t live like our grandparents did in the 1950s, with all that that entails.
People have been brainwashed to consider survival, as a society, in terms of our economic systems rather than in terms of the actual people.
The thing that sticks in my brain and keeps me up at night is the idea that I’m going to die without a family, alone and abandoned, in a country that sees me as little more than a wad of cash it can squeeze dry and dispose of.
The elderly in this country are just another kind of commodity - a pass through by which some sales shits running a call center in the San Fernando Valley get enough to cover their mortgage notes. I’d like a group of people around me as I get into my senior years who see me as another human being, and I get the sense that this is going away right alongside health care and education and housing.
I feel like “The Han Chinese are naturally imperialist, taking over the world is in their blood” is the sort of shit I’d hear out of a Bond Villain from the 1960s.

You’ll have to forgive people for being cautious when presented with an ethnic supremacist state actively working towards global domination.

Yea man, that’s totally what I said. @@
