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

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 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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 1 month ago

Racist, she had a maga themed birthday party

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

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

[–] TiredTiger@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

That definitely seems to be what the headline is implying.

[–] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month 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.

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

[–] Redvenom@retrolemmy.com 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Happy with my Honor phone and laptop.

[–] Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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