Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    The extreme Sinophobic tropes and clichés that were clearly inserted into the redditbrain by American propagandists.

      There are probably things on China that I’m gonna strongly disagree with you on, yet some things that we’ll probably find common ground on. Hope we’ll have a healthy exchange of ideas when the topic comes up

        No doubt. I’d bet though that the things we disagree on are things you believe that aren’t true.

          i can assure you, having spoken to quite a few chinese people (of millennial and gen z age), they do not approve of the government. there’s also many chinese people who exist outside china, yet there’s still sinophobia towards them.

              many. most do not even have exposure to the world outside of china due to law restrictions. as much as they dislike the authoritarian government, they stay in china because it is their country, their culture, and home. so idk tf you’re talking about.

        There are no Chinese concentration camps. There are however American ones. Do you support them?

        I support a critical view of western media, which has shown itself time and again to grossly exaggerate claims about the actions of the Chinese state’s actions.

        Is there enough there for me to be concerned about what is happening in Xinjiang? Sure, but I have been burned enough to not accept the most extreme version of events without a degree of skepticism.

        Knowing a few things about the history of China over the last 200 years and relations with the west over that time period would bring a degree of nuance to the conversation I’d really appreciate.
