They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved.

          This isn’t about wealth. Does Norway have 12 year olds in factories? Tell me why Norway gives workers 3x more paid time off? Don’t you think China’s rich enough to make things better for workers?
