A newly unveiled statue of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk was vandalized at the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

The statue was found with red spray-paint. A nearby poster memorial in front of the statue was vandalized with red paint as well.

what do you know about chinese revolution and chinas history?

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

That Mao was a Fuck up that got more of his own countrymen killed then he did during the Civil War for starters.

[–] PepperoniNipple@lazysoci.al -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If Mao was a fuck up, how come China is currently raping the USA in the World Stage? His Great Leap Forward worked.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

not american, and also mao had little to do with any of china achievements, itd likely have achieve more if hed died off after the war but sadly he didnt.

Ok, my question still stands: If Mao fucked up so bad with its Great Forward Leap, which was done to catch up with countries like the US, and as you can see, it succeeded, China already surpassed America regardless of what your coping mechanism says; how is that a fuck up? Sure, the transition was costly and bloody, but so was America's foundation. It exterminated so many native cultures, Mao did not do that, and also, Xi is not a pedophile like Trump. Where is the fuck up, exactly?

And that claim you made, it's so childish. It's a nothingburger. "If he died, Chinese would had achieved more." How? What makes you say that? You are Dr. Strange seeing all the possible outcomes or something?

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

dude multi millions died, thats not a success, if i kill off half my nation, the rest would of course live better lives without the added stress of supporting those people. its triage rebranded as innovation.

[–] PepperoniNipple@lazysoci.al -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So did many natives in America just so you could end supporting a country ran by a pedophile. What? That one was noble? "They were too violent and backwards with their tech, they did them a favor by conquering them and killing them all"?

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

not an american retard, also like china hasn't been doing the same thing to its own natives, go back to ml if your going to be this stupid

[–] PepperoniNipple@lazysoci.al 1 points 2 days ago

"Not an american" is not something that works anymore. Are you that ashamed of being lumped with the people you support? You can be a MAGA and not be an American. There are plenty of MAGAs here in Mexico, so many American Exceptionalists who still cocksuck the USA. Who think Americans and Europeans are "premium human beings, cleaner, more intelligent, more classy, I wish I was them, lived with them."

Hey, they did that to themselves at least, not others like you did. You are nothing but imperialist cancer that will be soon removed.

I don't belong in ML because I criticize China and I HATE Russia. Just here, your criticisms about China are the wrong and dumbest ones. There's a lot of shit you can target that'd actually make people hate China for real, but instead, what you are doing, is giving half-truths which people later complete and realize you lied to them, so. You are only increasing blind support for China, not a smart critique of it. Keep it up, though. Do not change the way you are. You are perfect for us, bye-bye, demon.

Oh god, a Canadian who is happy to be USA's hat, lol.

Those claims about the Uyghur literally came from pro-Israel directives in the UN, which nobody has validated as official either. You sound like the typical American Exceptionalist here in Lemmy, there are three of them who are so avid with messages like yours:

@SatansMaggotyCumFart - Almost 15k comments, 9 accounts, joined 3 years ago~

Go see those guys' profiles. You sound like them now. They are prime examples of people who benefit the Jeffrey Epstein Class with their heavy American Exceptionalism.

It is SatansMaggoty the one who is obsessed with the Uyghur (which you did not even write properly. "Ugears"? Was that autocorrected?). How come a random Mexican like me has a better grammar, man? No way. Are you even well-read at all? Do you read about History and Psychology every day like I do? Or just consume headlines from social medias?
