I don’t want every part of the globe to turn into an overt dictatorship. I have many reasons to fear and distrust this personally.

This creepy argument that “China will do this or that loathsome and undemocratic thing so we should first” appeals to fascists and profiteers everywhere.

And Putin isn’t a good idea either of course but there’s a history there. This is a new development.

How about no dictator and oligarch run herding? Whatever happens to being a citizen of a democracy with enlightenment values or any non-fascistic kind..
Yeesh
