In Europe, Monarchists.

In the USA, there isn't a 'to the right of Conservatives.' There's no further right to go than 'get back to constitutional limits on government.'

Maybe you could argue some groups that want state governments to be more theocratic? If any outside the Mormons even exist?
I suppose that you might consider a true 'foundationalist', someone whose idea of govt. perfection is back to constitutional limits while at the same time returning to Christian limits on approved excess, (LGBT gets no govt. recognition, vices get looked at as wrong while also building up the role of family again in order to combat those vices, etc...). I imagine many would consider that "right of Conservative".

But that's what conservatives are aiming to conserve? The founding values of the nation?

It's a miracle that China hasn't collapsed yet; but this? This is not sustainable. Trillions of dollars are being wasted on worthless constructions projects and controlling every aspect of the lives of Chinese citizens, and people are suffering, even dying, as a result. At some point you either run out of money, or everyone realizes that your money is worthless and stops accepting it as payment.

why would you put an escalator outside?

You have to deal with rain the elements dirts and all of that crap that can easily wreak the damned thing.
I don't know; why would you build an entire city where the roads can't support the weight of the vehicles that are supposed to drive on them? It's China; I think it's been pretty firmly established by this point that durability is not one of their concerns when constructing anything.

At this point I'm honestly impressed how long they have kept this economic shell game up.

They have so many problems structural problems coming for them all at once and yet the country still seems to function somehow.

It's not like they can claim sole credit for that though; as the west as a whole deluded themselves for decades into thinking they stood to benefit from the continued existence of China as a market and a place to manufacture their products, and thus kept funneling money into the country.

Turns out you can keep people going along with things for a while if you just lie and crack down on anyone who points out those lies.

Of course, reality still gets its say eventually. The more things you build that rely on your lies, the harder everything falls once the truth can no-longer be ignored.

from what the video was saying there was a fair amount of difficulty for the farmers to traverse their farms and rural areas. the solution to this would be some help with making access roads and helping make some easier walking paths. this somehow translated into the Bureaucracy deciding that easier paths means building escalators. and the local government can't go against the national government in china. so when told to build escalators they shut up and do it.

They either put their dumbest person in charge of their organization's Twitter or it got hacked. That's my theory.

Of course, as with all theories, it could be wrong.




Yeah, it's not a one time, one place thing; the Libertarian Party across the US seems to think the Uyghur genocide is fake and just made up to make people hate the CCP.
