    lol, what a shit take. I’m just capable of having complex thoughts about things and don’t reduce it to “my side good. Other side bad” like tankies do. China’s treatment of the Uighurs is very plausible genocide and at the very least exploitative and imperial. Ditto Tibet. Their trampling over the rights of Hong Kongers and international agreements in order to do cannot be described as anything other than imperial and authoritarian. And their posturing towards Taiwan is nothing short of terrifying in the same way any country threatening to invade and annex another independent nation would be.

    This is all just facts on the ground, not propaganda. Nothing you might wish to retort regarding America or other western countries bears any relevance, because I’m just not interested in whataboutism.

      That’s pretty racist to say that giving people education and stopping terrorism and pedophilia is genocide.

          I do beg you to do the tinest bit of research into pre unification Tibet or even some research into xinjiang and it’s current state and what programs actually exist there and why. Your media lied to you, little one.

            Ooh, condescension along with tankie bullshit. It’s a win-win!

            It’s honestly kinda cute that you tankies actually think you’re anything other than fascists.

              Child you call anyone unwilling to rule over others tankies, you don’t know the meaning of the term anymore than any other neoliberal hack. You think removing the pedophilic ruling class from Tibet was genocide, as if Tibetans had a cultural propensity towards it. You think a democracy where anyone can join as a representative regardless of class and everyone can vote with equal weight is a fascist government. You think terrorism and joblessness is endemic to the uighur people. And worst of all you think the CIA are the good guys based on your beliefs expressed here today.

              Yes, I’m condescending to you. Yes, I’m simply better than you. It doesn’t have to be this way. You could educate yourself or choose to get educated instead of blindly repeating the propaganda of the worse people that have ever lived, but you choose to side with them in apparently all matters. How Australians ended up worshipping empires giving their beginnings I’ll never know.
