    Funny how these “Hate the government, not the people” folks always seem to love hating the people. Almost like being “anti-authoritarian regime” is just an excuse to hate on Asian people or something.

      Yeah, it’s always “hate the government, not the people”, but if they had to nuke down China and kill billions to ensure “Taiwan is free”, they wouldn’t have second thoughts about it.

      The worst thing is, it manages to trick people under said governments. Lots of folks think they can just leave for USA or Britain or Canada, and they’ll be accepted with open arms. Because it’s the ebil gubmint that those bright-eyed liberals dislike, surely?

        The image that the west has managed to cultivate of being accepting of “everyone” is slowly fading though, more and more people realise that the west only wants them for cheap labour or for specialist roles western countries struggle to fill because of our rampant anti-intellectualism.
