      Everything you consume is propaganda and has an agenda, you just see this as propaganda because it counters the propaganda that’s already internalized and invisible to you

          China executes pedophiles and America elects them and worships at their churches. It’s really not a complicated comparison. There is no gotcha here

            Maybe both countries should stop executing people given that a non-negligible number of them are entirely innocent. Maybe capital punishment should have been abandoned long before the 21st Century and any country that continues it be a pariah state.

    Dictatorship might seem appealing while democracy is failing, but we should never give up on democracy in exchange for safety and stability.

        While I don’t posit that China is uniquely awful here are some low lights:

        • The oppression of the Uyghur Muslims
        • The invasion of Tibet
        • The threatened annexation of Taiwan
        • The Tiananmen Square massacre. Shall I go on?

          • Oppression of Uyghur ISIS terrorist members.
          • Liberation of British-colonized Tibet, run by a local theocrat that enslaved most of its people and by enslaved I mean they had officially been designated as serfs to the state, as human property of the clergy, by law.
          • You can’t annex your own country, but what you can do is support an expelled far-right party of a country that kills the indigenous people of an island and pretend that these murderers are somehow the victims.
          • The Tiananmen square insurgency was a CIA-backed coup attempt where the insurgents murdered 100+ Chinese army choir soldiers that were on their way to the square to sing out the protesters off the square.

          Go on…

            Oh wow more authoritarian genocide denialists. You’re either really scummy or really brainwashed.

              The biggest media censorship machine on earth has failed to hide a genocide in Gaza (that you people screamed we had to vote for) and lied about it for years, but somehow that same Epstein media machine is totally telling the truth about an invisible bloodless genocide in China. Evidence means nothing to you white supremacists, only imperial loyalty.

              By the way, do you deny the ethnic cleansing of eastern Ukraine by the nazi junta government?
