China, a developing country: lifts 800 million people out of extreme poverty.

Meanwhile UK:

Something something “free world” something something “democracy!” Something something “just work harder to become a billionaire too”

But what about all the NHS clapping and flag hoisting. Oh it’s still a shithole just now being more open against murder of brown and disabled folks. Being a westerner is a disease. Watch the guardian then write “but what about china and russia” and double down on the crocodile tears for “women’s rights” in Iran as a pretense for more war on the very next page with no fucking sense of shame. The Reform Party and the Guardian are two sides of the same fascist coin.

I’m sensing a huge investment opportunity for bootstraps, so the UK poor can pull themselves up. I’m told that is the only way out of poverty.
