Lol gives me hitler vibes when he said “how can such primitive people achieve this level of development so fast?” about the ussr
Ancient Aliens vibes.
“These savages had no contact with civilized Europeans at the time. It must have been an advanced alien civilization. Its too absurd to think these savages could have done it themselves”

Barrett on YT is great proof. He’s an English “expat” (aka Immigrant but I digress, I don’t wanna get into a whole thing) that moved to China. Idk exactly when it happened, but he got breast cancer and was very fortunately able to get chemotherapy and even surgery in China. I don’t wanna get too into it but those videos filled me with such joy, pure happiness from seeing someone suffering given what they need without a million doctors and insurance companies jumping in and talking about it first. He’s since gotten better and makes videos to this day. OBVIOUSLY China is not a utopia and it has its problems, but it gives me so much hope for what the future may hold, against my mostly doomer mindset
Would that not have happened in the UK too? I mean i guess depending on how recent, cause i know the NHS is being gutted.
But like, I’m Canadian, and my brother had brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumour. I would not have been born if my parents got saddled with millions in debt from that. They’re certainly not wealthy enough to have private insurance - although tbf that’s not a normal thing here compared to the states because the government provides everyone with free insurance with tax money. But even if it was so normalized, my parents would not have had private insurance.
Whatever, point is I think having your life financially ruined by getting cancer is an America thing (and many poor countries unfortunately)
It’s really telling that when faced with any information that runs counter to the classic China Bad narrative, libs immediately resort to “this person must have been paid to say this.” Their brains have been steeped in capitalism for so long they can’t imagine someone praising e.g. China’s poverty alleviation programs without some kind of financial incentive. And then, like clockwork, even this post has an “aUtHoRiTaRiAn ReGiMe” comment. These people would rather plug their ears and yell “LA LA LA CAN’T HEAR YOU” than approach China with an open mind. Shameful
I also love how deeply ingrained the whole both sideism thing is with these people. If you point out that one thing is objectively speaking better than another then you’re not being balanced. There always have two be two equally valid and opposing positions in their minds so that they can smugly live in the liberal centre.
I agree, but they only feel this way when the right is being criticized over the left. All opinions are equal, but some opinions are more equal than others.
Indeed, and the way they decide what the reasonable centre is entirely based on the anchoring bias of what they find familiar simply because it’s the environment they grew up in.
but the local news literally just told us that China’s economy is in a real bad place so thats why Xi came to talk with Biden. thats light paraphrasing but no bullshit
It’s going to collapse any day now.
Any day now.
Maybe all this time they were counting down the days of China’s actions causing the western economy to collapse.
With how much they project, I love how likely that actually ends up being.
Living well is the best revenge
Some guy over there went through my entire profile to downvote every single comment and post I have made since the creation of my account.
RIP my redditterino karmerino, I shall never recover from this.
lol I’m pretty sure we have some bots running around downvoting people. I notice that I get a batch of downvotes all coming in together once a day. I absolutely love that somebody was so bothered to spend the time and effort on this.
Their worldview depends on China being worse than the US in some way. Either through a lack of rights, bad economy or a genocide going on in the background. That last one is especially hilarious now that we’re all being reminded what an actual genocide looks like.

Nazis will try to shut down your freedom to speak while protesting that they are being silenced. Then when they take power they’ll just shoot you.
Hey, what happened to the White Rose?
I love a lot of their stuff like the railway construction and the socialism. Their political structure is atrocious, though.
I love the outcomes that Chinese political structure produces, but I hate their political structure. 🤡
The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.
Do you even actually know what their political structure is
I love […] the socialism
Their political structure is atrocious
lemm.ee posters and talking out their ass on subjects they never once investigated; name a more iconic duo that isn’t .world or .works users doing the same shit
EDIT: I love how cacs like this talk out the side of their neck on some straight skullduggery and walk away as soon as they start getting clowned on
No one can convince me that instance isn’t run primarily by Feds. Every time I see a couple of brainless and/or straight fascists takes on here that are heavily downvoted the user name has lemme. ee at the end.
It’s one of the few nazi bar instances that hasn’t defederated, so you’ll get the occasional user wandering in and screeching in confusion. Main reason they probably won’t defederate is because they have their own instance-blocking system which works on a per-user basis.EDIT: I got that one mixed up with a different instance. lemm ee seems to be a redditfugee site which explains the poor user quality.
Also just a heads up, you typed the website in wrong, it currently hyperlinks to what appears to be a scam site. Don’t click it.

The leftists who have read theory and still say this stuff.
“[we] marxist Leninists… Chinese like their government… stupid tankies… China worse than state capitalism.” Wtf
It’s barsoap, one of the most notorious lockheed left out there, and while i usually refrain from calling random people “feds” because internet is full of unpaid liberal idiots, this one does glow up pretty bright.
Tankies and excusing authoritarian regimes.
“Authoritarian” is a word made up by fascist, settler-colonial crackers to simultaneously fob off condemnation onto others, and to distance the minds of their public from the crimes the crackers have committed, still commit, and will be committing tomorrow; try again with real words this time, peckerwood. I don’t respect or acknowledge cracker-talk-- and “authoritarian” is downright McCarthy-flavor crackerish.
Get his ass 🗣️🗣️🗣️
As expected, peckerwood is emphatically not on go; not on anything rly
fuck yeah this is poetry
I was once called a “Moral Authoritarian” for saying that CP is bad. I have yet to see an example of that word being used more mask-off for anything ever. Libertarians really are a special kind of evil; they invented an entire political category just to justify their disgusting intentions.
Get real.
get they ass
Adding population for comparison:
US: 2.2M prisoners / 340M population
China: 1.6M prisoners / 1.4B population
Name one way China is “authoritarian” that doesn’t apply a hundredfold to the US.
Would you mind explaining? I heard China uses “democratic centralism” which seems to give people far more of a say.
Youre missing a couple of buzzwords, come on you can do better!
What’s ‘authoritarianism’?
it’s when not USian
On the offchance you are open to learning, please read “On Authority”. It is readily available online and is practically the length of a brochure.
Anything longer than a headline tends to exceed the average lib’s attention span, but there are always those rare folks that can be convinced. Go ahead, own a tankie and prove me wrong.
You would not survive in any other era of history if this is your problem with politics lol
Aaaaand we have a lib. Yes Mr. MSS agent, this man right here.
是的 警民比比乍得都要低的威权政府Yes, an authoritarian government with number of police lower than Chad.
That might be a sign you don’t actually know what the political structure actually is.
