What do they have?
No, I’m really asking, because I was busy smelling our own farts for the last forty years and have no idea.

Come to USA! We have:

  • $1500 phone
  • Rigged sportsball
  • Anti-woke celebrities

High consumer Technology; soft power through mass media spectacles (author didn’t mention Hollywood; celebrities.

It’s probably truth. It is very disappointing how little we know about other countries, because we are being constantly fed like gooses with junk culture from our beloved omnimodous power, so much so that our own culture gets slowly neglected

Sydney Sweeney feels particularly weird to include in this. Like Apple as a tech corpo... I guess?? Sports... okay... but then a fucking actress as a point in being better than China???

And even then it's all commodity and entertainment. China's future is poverty alleviation, education and innovation. So if you care only for circus and bread then I guess China is not the future for you?

I'll be honest, I had no idea who Sydney Sweeney even was until today.

[-] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago

I've only ever heard her name in weird contexts like this headline.

If the Chinese have nothing, why is the US afraid?

[-] racoon@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 days ago

When have Americans not been afraid?

[-] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 days ago

Lmao who cares about sidney Sweeny? She's hot sure but what else? Like who fucking cares about some random hot b grade actor?

Bro needs to get his top 3 straight.

For some reason (actually two large, perky reasons), the right holds Sydney Sweeney up as a sort of mascot, a shining example of what "the right kind of woman" looks like

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 days ago

She's one of them, that's also why

[-] soyaboya@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 6 days ago

This is what I thought first. It might be reading into it too much to call it a "dogwhistle"... But sounds like they're saying "China doesn't have beautiful blonde Aryan actors like America does." Or maybe it's just lazy and horny.

Sorry if you meant one of them as in racist on the inside. That's true too.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Racist, she had a maga themed birthday party

[-] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days ago

Yeah, tbh anytime someone brings up Sydney Sweeney, fucking dogwhistle to me

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

We have shitty unrepairable phones and computers with patronising interfaces, sports most people can't afford to attend because the tickets get scalped, and someone who openly brags about having blue eyes (she promises it's not in that way though). China is quaking I'm sure.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Considering the iPhones are made in China and sports equipment is made in Central America and Southeast Asia, I'm gonna need to see Ms. Sweeney's birth certificate

[-] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago

Does this guy think they don't have hot women in China?

[-] TiredTiger@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

That definitely seems to be what the headline is implying.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Even if he wanted to die on this hill, he could have easily chosen 3 much better options lmao.

Staring with any of these 3 in a measuring contest means America is already cooked.

[-] Pissed@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago

Wtf is Sidney Sweeny?

[-] Redvenom@retrolemmy.com 5 points 6 days ago

The US used to have Scarletts Johansons, now they can afford is Sydneys Sweeneys

[-] PanArab@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

Happy with my Honor phone and laptop.

[-] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

The future is Mandarbmax. I have $4.35 cash, little bit of string, and old left shoe
