"Yeah, you're right. Instead of waiting passively for your country to slowly decay, you should immediately bring it to third world levels of misery."
Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) was once the third biggest economy in Africa. With the richest agricultural land, it was known as 'The Breadbasket of Africa', next to Nigeria with it's oil, and South Africa, with it's gold & diamonds. Indeed, not long after it's independence in 1980, the Zimbabwean Dollar was worth slightly more than the US Dollar, such was it's financial strength, based on it's country's food production riches.
And then Robert Mugabe started having ideas above his station. He basically became another Idi Amin. He chased out the white owners of all the big farms, and gave the land to his own political supporters, cronies in the military etc.
The result? A couple of years ago, the economy was reduced to a state far worse than that of Weimar Germany. Mega-inflation set in; at one stage, the inflation rate was going up by the hour, at it's peak 2,500,000,000% (thus becoming poorer than even Burkina Faso).
So THC (as so many here have pointed out, it's the only reason for his insane way of thinking) wants to do a Mugabe, chasing out the intellectuals from the USA's natural resource: Technological Development (just like the inevitable brain drain from Germany caused by Hitler; decades later from Uganda, by Amin. Scientists, doctors, teachers, entrepeneurs etc left to mostly go to America, re. the former, and most to the UK, in the case of the latter).
So little Freeper, you want to accelerate China's return to being the dominant superpower, not only militarily, but technologically? (as it was thousands of years ago). Go right ahead.

Why, it's not as if it's not already happening.
PROTIP: Who bought up your debts, during the financial shenanigans a couple of years ago - Caused by your previous God Emperor of Fucking Up, George Dumbya Bush. Say hello to your new landlord, Freepers:

Better start learning Mandarin. And Atheism, Neocons, Teabaggers, Religious Right et al.
Where is your God now?
"WORK OR DIE!"

Yeah. That worked out so well the last time, eh little Freeper? And now we see the US's right-wing in their true colours. You prove that you and your way of thinking = enemies of democracy. Thus your existence is an insult to those who died in WWII to eliminate those - said enemies of democracy - who thought as you do. Therefore Free Repubic = Nazis. Ergo, the infinite evil of the right-wing in the US. QED.
You now have a choice, Freepers (check one):
[ ] Kill yourselves, because you've proven to be just as evil as those your forefathers fought against in defence of your country & what it stands for: Freedom.
[ ] Become Left-wingers.
Choose wisely.

"Even the freepers disapprove."
Though, apparently not enough to eliminate the KKK, Aryan Nations, Skinheads, Tom Metzger et al. Subhumans of a feather slime together after all.
