The US is a plutocracy. What's your point?

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

What type of society do you think would allow you to burn other people to death and string up their corpses? Is it one that you think would be an improvement over modern China?

point is focus your criticisms on your own society that's 1000x worse than even the most exaggerated crimes about China, cracker. Chinese people aren't children and they can handle their own country in their own way, they don't need some forum poster condescending to them and you don't need a warped preoccupation with a country that probably has nothing to do with you

I stand in solidarity with all oppressed people everywhere, and I will do more than just criticize oppressors

Do you have anything but the most condescending and one-sided "solidarity" for a people who support their government?

[–] delirious_owl -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I dont stand in solidarity with people who support oppressors, no.

Fortunately most people do not support their government.

Unfortunately for your ideology, most Chinese people support their government:

How do you reconcile this? Shall we trot out some paternalisms about "brainwashing" next?

I’m almost disappointed that Xinjiang or secret police stations haven’t been trotted out yet.
