kbin.social has some shitty moderation huh

Bruh

Would be a far better use of the ‘defense’ budget than what they’re currently spending it on.

Isn’t r/canada a conservative shithole?

Lmao, if you refuse to accept even sources like WHO, there’s no discussion to be had here.

Last I heard, Evergrade’s chairman was selling their luxury property to pay for the debt. And you guys are still calling planned cities ‘ghost housing’? Lmao. Cool name though. I’d say the US could learn from it, but they’re unlikely to do something that’s not profitable.

You do realize you can google things yourself, right? China’s demographics are similar to the US, though, afaik.

the Uighurs are going to be glad the CCP aren’t into genocide.

Like I said in another comment, even the US State department says there are no mass killings in Xinjiang, and those guys would love to report otherwise. It’s probably not good there, though. Bad Empanada looked into it, and there seems to be cultural repression going on. He has sources in the video’s description.

The Covid deaths are from WHO, what the fuck are you talking about?

authoritarian shithole

The irony of saying that in context of the US where 0.7% of the population is in jail, lmao.

There is an actual genocide happening in Palestine. Even the US State department says there are no mass killings in Xinjiang, likely because the US can’t infiltrate and cause one like they did in Indonesia.

Since Xiaoping’s market reforms, China has nationalized numerous exploitative private companies, decreased working hours to 8 per day, improved working conditions, gotten rid of hundreds of thousands of corrupt officials, purged greedy billionaires like Jack Ma, and built the most extensive high-speed rail and public transport system in the world.

China, with 5x the population of the US, had 121k covid deaths, while the US had 1.2mil. Because the latter prioritizes capital/profit over human lives, while China does the opposite.

These are clearly in the interest of the Proletariat/working class, not the ruling class; China has actively punished the latter.

And all that without overthrowing foreign governments and causing genocides. So how is China even comparable to the US, aside from their economic growth? Has it ever occurred to you that maybe western media tries to show their geopolitical rivals in a bad light, even when they’re objectively better?

Never said they were good. Just that it’s absurd to compare China to the sheer amount of death and destruction the US has selfishly caused, and continues to cause, everywhere in the world for the profit of the ruling class.

Not only were they not alive for the events of 1949, their parents most likely were not either.

You realize Gaza has been an open-air prison ever since, right? And you’re trying to use the decreased life expectancy in Gaza from Israeli oppression to deny their right to fight back against colonizers? What the fuck?

Sure, but the sheer number of warcrimes the US has committed in foreign countries, like the 1973 Chilean coup to overthrow the democratically elected Salvador Allende and install a military dictatorship, or the 1965 Indonesian mass killings etc. aren’t even comparable to China, or any other country for that matter.

Not to mention the Palestinian genocide they’re funding right now. At least China handles extremist groups like the ETIM by ‘re-educating’ them and assimilating them into the rest of the country. As fucked up as that is since it’s cultural repression, at least they’re not fucking bombing them.

Reactionary thinking like this is what lets colonizers and settlers continue to do what they’re doing even in the modern day. A war 1400 years ago does not justify colonizing and slaughtering natives right now. Surely you can see how fucked up that is?

Theodor Herzl, founder of Zionism, knew this, and did not mince his words. He was simply racist, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to barbarians as did the rest of Europe when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:

“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]

That is exactly what’s happening right now. All for European and US military and economic interests in the region.

Do you understand there is a difference between extremist Islamists and normal Muslims? Or do you think they’re the same?

In the the same vein, do you think Zionist settlers are the same as regular Jewish people, who are protesting against Israel and the US’s actions?

B-but China bad

The US sends $3.3bil to Israel every year, and has sent a bonus $14.5bil 2 months ago.

Can you do anything about the genocide on natives that your tax dollars are funding right now?

Not at all. Western news outlets have always also been tone-deaf about the genocides and mass killings their countries perpetuate.

Been using Nobara for the last 2 years. Haven’t noticed much of a dip in performance coming from Windows, if anything.

Yeah let’s focus on Chinese prison labour, ignoring the US’s much higher incarceration rate, and the literal genocide they’re funding right now.

Zionists*

Yes, all Zionists should be expelled, or dead. Don’t mistake Zionists for normal Jewish people, the same way you don’t mistake Islamic extremists for normal Muslims.
