I swear unanimous appreciation of china was a pretty common sentiment and now I'm consistently seeing upbeared comments about how china isn't and never was a socialist state, and how actually their use of markets is as bad if not worse than america. What's going on? IDK what to think or what side I'm on here but it just seems like opinions fundamentally changed so quickly, it's weird.
idk man I'm sleep deprived just dont be a stan and dont let the libidinal desire to see blood soaked conflict and violence in a modern era where such things are impossible between great powers is my point
Oh i see. interesting, i see the pro-china side push back on the anti-china stuff out of the desire to keep things peaceful - ie - anti-imperialism and being concerned about the increase in hate crimes toward asians because of the anti-China sentiment and propaganda.
Perhaps you've seen different pro-china posts than i have though.
If we were on reddit that'd be understandable, but we aint. We're a small, obscure subreddit-in-exile and you can let your hair down and not take online shit so bloody serious here. I promise, nobody is gonna read "Hey china doesn't allow unions" on here and go curbstomp some little old lady to death. Promise
I'm having trouble relating this to your original point that we shouldn't support China at all. Do you agree with me or are you changing your mind?
people are free to downvote and upbear posts and that's what makes this on the front page. I upbeared the anti-union post because i thought it was a good point and POLITELY asked for sources. No one is saying "don't make anti-china posts" here from what i've seen at all.
