    ever got beaten up by 3 chinese police officers for wanting free hongkong?

    People responding correctly pointing out how we really should be most concerned about our own governments actions and the amount of police violence to any leftwing protest

    sure, but I want to inform people and since the people on lemmygrad and hexbear already know that america is bad, I wanted to introduce them to dystopian China

      That’s not exactly a novel thing though, you can find that opinion on pretty much any lemmy instance besides those two. Frankly I’m more concerned about my own government spending endless amounts of money on weapons to murder civilians than I am about hong kong, people I actually know have been injured by cops protesting in the US, from where I’m standing that’s the primary violent police state to be dismantled.

        yeah, but the argument was on these two

        Frankly I’m more concerned about my own government spending endless amounts of money on weapons to murder civilians

        I don’t want that either, but I also don’t want people giving money to China for cheap low quality products which finances konzentration camps and suppressing hongkong and I don’t like people who say the west is imperialist but in the same breath simp for China and Russia, because all nation states are imperialist by concept.

        people I actually know have been injured by cops protesting in the US

        for me this is the same with China, I know some chinese people that still suffer under the CCP even tho they live in another country now

          I have some bad news about America if you buy food here, it’s all terrible quality and harvested with a ton of forced prison labor, America has more people imprisoned than any country on the planet. I live here so it’s a bigger issue to me than what its state enemies are doing on the other side of the planet.

          I know some chinese people that still suffer under the CCP even tho they live in another country now

          Is China sending cops to other countries to beat them up or something?

      free hongkong

      You mean british colonial Hong Kong. Hong Kong is going to have more democratic institutions as they integrate with Chinese democracy.
