Fascism of course, just like we are heading towards.
To be clear, I violently oppose fascism, just that it seems to be to historical outcome of socially disconnected youth about the time they hit adulthood. Those disaffected youth become the audience that charismatic dictator-wannabes can manipulate.
China MAY be able to avoid this as their social controls are far more strict but with the internet and how tech savvy the disaffected Chinese youth are, this isn’t a guarantee.
They’re going to be dead soon from old age, I’m more worried about all the gamergaters and magapedes that will be old enough to vote this year and all the elections afterward.
China is already essentially an authoritarian dictatorship. There’s no big leap to fascism for them, they just need to fetishize the military and act more nationalistic than they already do. They’re already prejudicial, blaming minorities within for all sorts of problems, attempting to control speech and thought, etc.
China has other problems right now which is why they are playing nice, they’re heading into a population collapse and it’s gonna be real messy.
They already fetishize the military and are nationalistic AF, but they also have leadership more invested in the status quo than becoming the dominant military, so their new weapons are finance and trade instead of bombs and bullets. That said, they have a FUCKTONNE of bombs and bullets and MILLIONS of people willing to use them.

Yes blame the “youth” when the average age of our politicians is 65. Makes perfect sense.
