Professor John Mearsheimer comments on the young Chinese influencer Neil778027 who urges Americans to start a revolution: ”You let oligarchs feed you lies while they made you fat, poor, and addicted.”
The influencer posted his criticism on TikTok, and Andrew P. Napolitano brought the statement to Professor John Mearsheimer for a comment.
Neil778027 says (grammatically corrected quote):
”They rob you blind, and you thank them for it. That’s a tragedy. That’s a scam. That’s why I’m saying this right now. Americans, you don’t need a tariff. You need a revolution. For decades, your government and the oligarchs have shipped your jobs to China, not for diplomacy, not for peace, but to exploit cheap labour.
And in the process, they hollow out your middle class, crash your working class, and tell you to be proud while they sell your future for profit. And yes, China made money. But we used it to build roads, lift millions out of poverty, fund healthcare, and raise living standards.
We reinvested in our people. My family also benefited from it. What did your oligarchs do? They bought yachts, private jets, and mansions with golf course driveways. They manipulated the market, dodged taxes, and poured billions into endless wars.
And you? You get stagnated wages, crippling healthcare costs, cheap dopamine, debt, and a flag to wave, probably made in China, while they pick your pocket. For 40 years, both China and the United States benefited from trade and manufacturing, but only one of us used that wealth to build.
This isn’t China’s fault. This is yours. You let this happen. You let oligarchs feed your lives. Well, they made you fat, poor, and addicted. Now they blame China for the mess they made. I don’t think so.
I don’t think you need another tariff. You need to wake up. You need to take your country back. I think you need a revolution.”
