My relationship with Chinese people is great. I have a chinese ex, whose mom is hyper critical of the CCP and hates communism. They’re not Han chinese, they’re one of the less desirable ethnicities, and they didn’t feel well treated. Anyways.
Authoritarian regimes are bad. The fact that this authoritarian regime has mongoloid/asiatic facial features is irrelevant. I hated GWB’s expansion of the security state and two senseless middle eastern wars, I hated Obama killing American citizens without trial, and I hated Trump’s… everything, basically, but admittedly withdrawing from Afghanistan was p cool. Stopped clocks etc.
Anyways it’s totally consistent with wanting a just world to also hate the largest authoritarian regime in that world. This “but what if it’s because you’re racist?!?!” line is an absurdity
I spent like 8 months working for a company that specialized in home HVAC contracting advertisement. I'm not going to say the best minds of our generation were working on this particular problem, but still. What a fucking waste of human life.
Think about this market. People need air conditioning services. They're going to get air conditioning services. The only real question is which service operators get their business. It's zero sum. Every cent spent on marketing is valuable to individual businesses, costs other businesses. Marketing and adtech are necessary as part of an arms race, but it's net loss for the world. You're just spending money on market conflict. That company has produced nothing of value: they only attempt to divert flows of money from some people to other people, entirely independent of merit or value provided.
