Lol…and I thought I got Chinapilled. NOBODY got Chinapilled like @adam_tooze got Chinapilled. Bro is like learning mandarin in his 60s! “Development of China is the master key to understanding modernity. And without it, you just don't have a hope of grasping what's going on.” But we are looking away, unwilling to face what should be blindingly obvious. There’s a kind of « mood ban » and the reason is obvious. “This is the material dethroning of the West as the central driver of world history, right? This is really what the provincialization of the West looks like.” Are we Chinaboos crazy? Or are we just crazy early?
