A slop without a people for a people without a slop

Me when I watch youtube instead of reading theory for the tenth time today:

We literally have the video of tankman climbing up the tank and not being flattened, it was even reported back in the day, but people downvoting you can’t be bothered to google that

You believe in a genocide with literally no single proof

They have no interest in portraying China positively, when a person or source you mistrust publishes something against their best interest it makes it a lot more likely that it’s true (like the CIA saying the USSR was democratic despite being enemies)

I’m dying

Your assessment of China is based on state department propaganda

They also don’t do cultural genocide, look at videos of random tourists visiting Xinjiang and you’ll see some locals speaking Uyghur, you’ll see mosques, museums, traditional Uyghur food, etc. The previous repression was meant to curve terrorism, it seems to have worked, and things have relaxed afterwards. I don’t see how any of this fits the picture of colonialism.

Yeah, I don’t love the Russian government but I still believe it’s cowardly that the only way liberals can vilify Russia is by having the memory of a goldfish and being obtuse about geopolitics, the wars with Ukraine were completely avoidable and so was the ethnic cleansing of Russian Ukrainians, and by ignoring that regular Ukrainians themselves want to end the war. It’s particularly frustrating that they pretend Russia is the most villanous nation, too, as if the US wasn’t orders of magnitude worse and for a far longer span of time, including regime changes, invasions and sanctions that killed millions of people and impoverished so many more, and as if the US had no responsibility for the proxy war in Ukraine or the extremely cruel shock therapy all over former socialist states.

I know Chinese people in my city, but it’s not the same as talking to people LIVING in China, surely you understand that?

Sure, when I save enough to visit China in a few years.

There are Chinese people here, surely their opinion is more trustworthy than yours. If you’re gonna propagate conspiracy theories at least do the work of sourcing it. Finally, I’ve met Venezuelans who celebrated their own country being bombed, I’ve met Cubans encouraging brutal sanctions against their own people, same with diasporas from every other country that’s not a US neocolony or vassal. Them having roots from a place doesn’t mean they’re necessarily informed. If you meet them in the west then your sample size is people who left and people who were born to people who left. Many diaspora communities are literally connected to far-right dictatorships, militias, counter-revolutionaries and so on and on. But I’m sure your opinion matters more than the opinion of Chinese people living in China, chauvinist.

I met people from China who unlike you understand their government is a proletarian democracy (which is different from a liberal democracy in many ways), you can even meet Chinese people here who’ll tell you that their government is democratic, but it’s not THAT hard to learn about a system you don’t understand by at least watching YouTube if you don’t have the patience or habit of sitting down to read.

I haven’t been to China because I’m poor and on the other side of the globe, have you been there yourself? There are nice videos by tourists that show that China is just… a country. Very advanced, great infrastructure, but not what you seem to believe it is.

How much time have you spent studying the Chinese system?
