    Hey, tankies, decent countries don’t have to violently suppress their populations and then lie about it. Oh, and socialism is worker ownership of the means of production, not whatever the fuck they’re doing in China.

    (inb4 people assuming I must support the US since I hate China)

        Lol. Thinking some countries have better governments than others is supremacist? Whatever, dude.

        By the way. If there are any countries with decent governments, I don’t know of them. But like. If there were decent countries, they wouldn’t behave like China.

          Saying “decent countries” clearly has a perverse slip within the thought, the idea of a collective I in the our countries and an objectifying negation of the I in the other group. Basically good ol’ civilisation and barbarians. The same rhetoric you and your people have been using to oppress me and my third world brothers and sisters all around the world. You really think you need to do the missionary work of educating the beasts, don’t you?

        Ah yes.

        Being against China’s racist genocide is racist.

        China, the imperialist ethno-state, is clearly innocent.

    Meanwhile in Taiwan, the island’s equivalent of the Tiananmen massacre from the KMT dictatorship (the 228 incident) has its own memorial park and museum.

    No need for a self-inflicted legitimacy crisis when you respect your citizens’ basic rights.
