US is China now.
I have never had my phone searched for memes (or at all, for that matter) when entering China.
Tankies should be ecstatic.
I had one say they preferred Trump to Hilary because "at least he is helping the USSR expand" so maybe
You gotta screenshot things like that.
Was worth digging through replies because I forgot about the username
Pretty sure "LeninsOvaries" is satire given such a username. Like "it's not like trump would ever do anything to hurt Gazans" that's got to be satire lol
Feel free to read through the comments. The are committed to the whole act including other weird bad takes
For example, all autistic people and psychopaths should be instituted
Oh wow. Hahahaa
I swear to god, I forget how stupid people are sometimes.
And three people downvoted you. My man got receipts.
Tankies? They are looking for red kind of fascism, not fascist kind of fascism.
That's what the Heritage Foundation says too!
what are we, a bunch of asians?
Why are you bringing up race when somebody is talking about national policy
China is no shithole
China has healthcare.
China also has horrific human rights abuse and rampant organ farming/trafficking.
You are thinking of the Only Democracy in the Middle East™️
Israel harvested organs in ’90s without consent
Israel 'stealing organs' from bodies in Gaza, alleges human rights group
Nobody is arguing Israel is good here
So it's the same, but they have healthcare.
Not if you're a Uyghur
Uh huh, because there's no genocide happening in or helped by America.
Whataboutism is not an argument. Also two things can be bad at once, this is not a zero sum game.
1: Whataboutism is a disputed fallacy specifically because dorks like you will screech about pointing out any form of hypocrisy even in discussions on comparative morality and ethics. It is in this manner its own form of thought terminating cliche.
2: What nation is this post about?
Not sure how that's relevant, but I disagree.
So you've got two genocidal states, one has healthcare (that actually does apply to Uyghurs because it's a cultural genocide/slavery thing not an extermination) and the other wants to start WW3.
Why is the first a shit hole comparable to America? They're clearly different tiers of fascist states. Everyone not a fascist state>China>Shitholes like America
I'm glad you thoroughly understand the concept of "the lesser evil"
There's no such thing as a lesser evil, just priorities.
When there's an evil I can do something about and see firsthand and evil I can't, I don't spend a whole lot of personal effort virtue signaling about the second type when the first is happening down the street.
If you don't believe in lesser evil like you just said, and you think China is fascist like you just implied, why say "at least ~~the trains run on time~~ they have healthcare"?
It sounds like the kind of virtue signaling you disapprove of.
A fascist state that treats its in-group better isn't less evil than one that doesn't, it just shows that their in-group at least gets some benefits from their obedience to the state.
If you're going to sell your soul you might as well not be a cheap yet eager purchase, the kind of person that posts an article about America's decline and then goes "at least it's not as bad as this country I've never been to!"
That'd just be fucking embarrassing.
What are you assuming about my identity, and declaring about your own identity, that makes you uniquely able to speak about affairs in China, while telling others to shut up about it?
(context: From what I see, you joined this thread to praise China's healthcare.)
Organ harvesting doesn't count as healthcare
Someday you'll figure out what it means that even the Uyghurs hearing about what American healthcare is actually like are shocked that it isn't propaganda.
"My dad's genocide is more moral than your dad's genocide!"
That's why they have to put "cultural" in front of it, yeah.
Feel free to explain to a deliberately starved to death Gazan child who saw their dad killed in the street for his property by Israeli soldiers who posted it to YouTube why their situation is just as bad as a Uyghur kid going to a state run propaganda farm I guess.
