lol I did this thing I hate when other people do, yeah I guess I was thinking about that phrase because it was fresh in my mind but not about you specifically.
But yeah there are a lot of things happening in China to celebrate, and relative to the other worlds "super powers" I think focusing on the negatives in China is disingenuous, particularly when sitting in the "imperial core" while doing it. I also think it's important as leftists to defend the progress of China when faced with an endless barrage of anti-China propaganda. So, yeah cheerleading for China is a good thing, when the cheerleading is informed and grounded.
There are levels of critical support, it can't be used as a blanket position, and I believe China is overwhelmingly a force of good, with the "critical" part of my support a sidenote vs a main feature. Ironically one of my main criticisms is they are not offering enough support to AES projects throughout the world, "spreading communism" as it were.
ya i think the first world point is a good one, i feel like people in china do plenty to productively criticize the cpc in a more informed way than most of us could do. to be clear i don't personally have specific criticisms of china or their government or whatever, i don't know anything about it. but that's why i don't want to be exposed to only hardline total support from somewhere like genzedong cause i doubt that's the whole picture. but genzedong is there to annoy people on reddit and that's good, it's not there to inform me specifically lol.
if anything yeah i think the relative isolationism seems non-ideal to me but like, i wouldn't be surprised if there were strong reasons for it that i just don't understand cause obviously i'm not a chinese government official.
i think sports teams should have cheerleaders that like, hurl abuse at the players and just talk shit about them and how bad they are. that could be funny.
