You were clearly either fooled by the shiny exterior that the Chinese intentionally and falsely portray as reality; something Westerners often fall for because of how alien the idea of valuing appearances even to the detriment of real performance is to our values. Or you are Chink-shit yourself. To the Chinese upholding appearances is the basis with which all Chinese operate, from the peasantry to the CCP. The outer layer could not be further from the truth when it comes to Chinese culture and you can NOT understand them if you believe it to be true.
I hope, against logic, that it's the latter and you're a shill, because the former is saddening. You supposedly visited a high-tier city, spent time in its tourist areas and now you are here rambling about what a lovely place the Chinese Potemkin Village is and how much greener the grass is on the other side. Arguing about how the West is decadent, morally corrupt and rotting and the CCP-led China is supposedly better because they value the face more than the interior?

>Be Socrates
>Go around bothering random people and asking stupid questions like “hurr durr what is the meaning of justice” and “what is it like to be so old”
>become famous “philosopher” by asking people questions and getting them to refute themselves rather than actually arguing, like a bitch
>Be Plato
>Too stupid to come up with your own shit, so you write about Socrates’s achievements instead.
>Write books full of made up dialogues that contain debates set up in a way that you always win.
Why people worship these hacks, I will never know. If Socrates was alive today, he would be Jesse Lee Peterson 2.0

Did you know that you can use multiple contractions at once? Crazy, right?

You’d’ve never thought of using words like this, and it makes you seethe. Y'all'd've gone on making your sentences extra long for no reason, but luckily for you, I’m here to teach you some REAL grammar. Spread the word. From now on, only speaking in contractions.
