Thank you so much for showing me that not every liberal I meet here will be ignorant and self-righteous. I can no longer say that has been the totality of my experience with them. I now have hope that my next encounter will be just as positive as this one was.
You’re right I haven’t completely purged the liberal inside me and I hate myself for it being there still
I forgot how ignorant and self-righteous Reddit liberals were. The ones I’ve seen are easily the loudest and dumbest people on this network of federated instances. They have their “conviction” and “is wrong” sliders completely maxed out.
I think the myth is that China isn’t capable of producing high quality stuff. We mostly see low quality stuff because a lot of people in the West place orders for those things from China to stock their shelves, but it’s just a fraction of what China produces. Western retailers are really the ones who are being cheap by not placing orders for higher quality goods. That’s how I have synthesized the information I’ve seen about the topic.
