    No such movement can grow large enough to pose a threat without being extinguished along the way. This country is built to prevent that from happening. Sure its happened before elsewhere, but what about all the times it failed and countless people died in the process.

    But no, I’m responsible for the deaths of thousands because I’m not risking my life fighting a losing battle.

    I’m laughing at you thinking that your oligarch owned media is somehow more objective than state media, the fact that you don’t even know how to spell CPC says a lot about the information diet you consume.

    I have access to other countries’ media, unlike Chinese citizens. I also have the ability to determine how biased information is. I’m not automatically brainwashed by propaganda just because I live here. If I was, I would be far less willing to admit how awful this country is. Also CCP, Chinese communist party. What is wrong about that? CPC means cost per click.

      You just keep repeating that like a broken record, yet such movements have grown successfully in the past in many countries. Nothing about the current situation in US is unique. If you bothered to actually educate yourself on the subject instead of arguing online then you might get a more informed perspective. Meanwhile, saying that because success is not guaranteed people shouldn’t fight against a repressive regime is frankly spineless.

      You are responsible for the death and suffering that result from the actions of the US empire around the world because you refuse to take any action to stop what your regime does. You went from claiming there’s nothing you can do to admitting there’s nothing you want to do because you don’t want to lose your personal comfort. You don’t care about the suffering of others as long as you’re fine.

      I have access to other countries’ media, unlike Chinese citizens.

      The fact that you think Chinese citizens don’t have access to other countries media really shows that you just guzzle propaganda from your regime. What you’ve demonstrated in this thread is that you don’t see your own biases. Also, CCP is not a thing. It’s called Communist Party of China, that’s the actual name of the party. It’s like if I insisted on calling your shithole country ASU as opposed to what it chooses to call itself. This is just another subtle form of chauvinism you internalize thinking that western scumbags get to decide the name of the Communist Party of China as opposed to Chinese people. Using CCP exposes you as a chauvinist.

        Its called self preservation. Success isn’t “not garunteed”, its almost garunteed to not happen. Its a practically insurmountable task.

        You went from claiming there’s nothing you can do to admitting there’s nothing you want to do because you don’t want to lose your personal comfort.

        I didn’t even consider overthrowing them as an option because of how ridiculous of an idea that is.

        The fact that you think Chinese citizens don’t have access to other countries media really shows that you just guzzle propaganda from your regime.

        I am aware its not literally impossible, maybe I should have made that more clear. But information is far more controlled there than it is here. Why would I guzzle propaganda from something I openly admit is an authoritarian regime? I think China sucks because China sucks, I don’t need propaganda to tell me that.

        Also, CCP is not a thing. It’s called Communist Party of China

        I do not care what the literal translation is, that’s not how you translate things. You say it how it makes the most sense in the language you translate it to. If ASU made more sense in your language than USA, I would say go for it. Nearly everyone that speaks English calls it the CCP, I’m not exposing myself as anything by using what is widely considered to be correct language.

          That’s how you justify benefiting from the regime and your implicit support for it.

          I didn’t even consider overthrowing them as an option because of how ridiculous of an idea that is.

          Claiming that mass movements are a ridiculous idea is a historically illiterate position to take. The only reason you take this position is because you’re not personally affected by all the suffering caused both domestically and abroad by what your regime does. One day you may find yourself affected as well as you country continues to implode politically and economically, and by then it will be too late to take any meaningful action. You deserve what’s coming to you.

          I am aware its not literally impossible, maybe I should have made that more clear. But information is far more controlled there than it is here. Why would I guzzle propaganda from something I openly admit is an authoritarian regime? I think China sucks because China sucks, I don’t need propaganda to tell me that.

          You think China sucks because of the information you consume that tells you that China sucks. Again, have you been to China, do you speak the language, do you talk to people who live in China. If the answer to these questions is no, then what precisely is your claim that China sucks based on, the garbage you read in western media about China?

          I do not care what the literal translation is, that’s not how you translate things.

          Yeah, actually that’s exactly how you translate things. You take the official translation made by the government of China instead of making one up yourself. The fact that you would even argue this point is frankly surreal. You very much are exposing yourself as a chauvinist both by using the made up name that your regime gave the party and claiming that China sucks without any actual knowledge of China. You’re a chauvinist.
