The “China good, America baaaaad 🐑” thing really doesn’t make sense to me. I understand that a lot of people are pretty disillusioned by life here in the States but like… China though? That’s your paragon of human rights? Like spoiler alert those are bad dudes, running China.
It’s deeply unserious, and then they wonder why others don’t take them seriously. But the People’s Billionaires With Chinese Characteristics are peak socialism, I guess.
Here in Taiwan, we welcome all. We don’t care what you look like or who you love. We want to share our culture with you and hope you have an everlasting love for my country.
I’m so glad there are instances that aren’t infested with tankies. I tried to argue that China was imperialist and erased minority cultures on lemmy.ml and half my comments got removed. Anything mentioning Tibet or Xinjiang they seem to seek out like flies to shit.
My introduction to lemmy was trying to argue with hexbears that N Korea propagandizes its citizens more than the US. Apparently I was wrong and dumb and N Korea is a really awesome place to live, despite none of the hexies moving there for some odd reason 🤔
Those are photoshopped images from untrustworthy western media; do not trust them. Homes in North Korea shine as bright as our love for our esteemed leader.
Do not go to ml or hex and point out that maybe Taiwan has a right to self determination as Ukraine does.
Or that the Houthis are… basically fundamentalist pirate/terrorists.
Its is absolutely amazing the number of femboy/catgirl/trans/lgtbqia+ people do not understand that being themselves in say Soviet Russia or modern Russia or China at basically any point in time I am aware of, or nearly anywhere in the Middle East or Africa… they would be massively oppressed if not outright jailed or killed.
As you say with North Korea, with China as well there is this mental wall of everything bad you hear about those places is Western Propaganda.
I feel like we are at the point where a lot of these types of people would think Pol Pot was actually based and the Dead Kennedys were reactionary fascists.

mfw the CCP is making gorgeous Imperial-history period-pieces with government-funding but denying us the sheer level of historically accurate homosexuality that should come with them
How is it possible for there to be LGBTQ+ tankies. I just don’t understand how they can suspend that much disbelief and then be able concentrate on anything else.
Because first and foremost, these people are authoritarians. Like Jews for Hitler, their craving for the taste of a boot, and to see those they regard as ‘degenerates’ as smashed under it, is far greater than their own sense of self-preservation.
You’re probably telling wrong. But do provide an example, please. Edit: inb4 it’s just a “vote for Biden” comment, while also leaving out the “but still pressure him into withholding support for Israel” part.
You can still use the lever clearly, simply flip the lever after one axle of the train has passed over the switch, but before the other axle has. This will force a derailment.
Maybe we can get him to stop funding Israel before that, even. But first and foremost, fascism must be stopped, for the same reason that the Western Allies sided with the Soviet Union in WW2. We may despise each other, but there is a worse foe afoot.
To be clear, yeah it’s for trying to browbeat people into supporting Biden, and how he treats it as a forgone conclusion that the settlers are going to get their land.
I have zero confidence in your ability to pressure democrats, I already spent most of the Iraq war and Obamas terms getting told to fuck off because I was antiwar by my democratic reps not sure why they would suddenly have a change of heart now.
I think there’s also a contingent that is anti US no matter what, so anyone against the US is good and whether they’re a dictator is a secondary concern.
