i'm sure Chinese people need patronizing crackers from the west to instruct them on what communism actually is

What? I stand with the Chinese people against their oppressors. Criticism of an oppressive State is not criticism of its victims.

...how often do you interact with Chinese people? Whenever I go back home to Wuhan I don't really see much oppression happening.

almost no one in China feels that their state is an oppressive force, they feel the opposite. The government has more than a 90% approval rating. The overwhelming majority of Chinese people view their society as legitimate and socialist. If you had any interest in democracy at all you'd respect this perspective instead of imposing your own

That's about the level of response I'd expect from a lib to inconvenient facts

Lol you think everyone who criticizes Capitalist governments like the US and China are liberals?

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

If it walks like a liberal and talks like a liberal, it's a liberal.

She's literally correct; studies from even anti-Chinese partisan sources can't help but find that satisfaction with the government is overwhelming. While you treat anti-imperialist movements like this sitting from your home in the imperial core, you're not a revolutionary or helping anybody build towards anything better, you're an active hindrance. Feel free to imbibe the actual opinions of people in China so you can understand the conditions there and not just your cracker conditioning. It's not perfect, but overthrow would be far; far worse.

(this is unrelated but I've only been going by she for a little while and it felt kinda nice to be called she like that, thank you.)

Said the anglo, eagerly parroting his three-letter-agency masters with his hands on his pearls and a breathless huff to his diction. I have never seen such eager catamites for fuckin genociders in my life; is this what living in Weimar Germany was like?
