I just hate when they say one imperialist colonizer is bad (Israel) yet another good (Russia). Fucking hypocrites don’t actually care about the suffering - just the political wedge they can use.
I haven’t ever even broached Tibet because I don’t think I could stomach witnessing the ensuing trainwreck of logic.
It’s just so incredibly intellectually disingenuous. I got in it with one at one point (big mistake on my part) saying that no country or system is perfect, and a meaningful indicator evidencing critical thought is the capacity to criticize your own system. What, in their mind, were the top issues with China?
Too much freedom in the market.
Doesn’t project it’s system outside it’s border enough.
I’ve had so many CCP bootlickers send me so many headlines about how much people in China claim to love the CCP. Tankies pretend they don’t understand that a 99% approval rating is less indicative of a populace that adores their government, and more indicative of a populace afraid to criticize it.
Part of what got me banned over there was pointing out that Adolf Hitler got 99.3% of the votes in his last election, and asking whether they reckon that was because he was just such a great leader
The fact that some people voted for a basically open fascist because of something happening outside of their country is fucking wild

Ok. I’m talking to a rational actor. Lol.
1 is a rational complaint of a society that pretends it’s not State Capitalist
