Okay, so background: I'm your average pro-gun fuck-the-police, fuck-trump zoomer honed by years of unsupervised internet access and I've just discovered this community and started lurking for a while. But I still hold extremely negative views on China, which I still think are justified.

"Which views?" I'll throw them out real quick: child labor! internet censorship! media censorship! anti-LGBTQ! uygher genocide? positive and pro war relations with russia! (because fuck putin)

So I get really confused anytime I see people expressing pro-China sentiments. Have I been spoonfed by the media or are some of these points actually justified?

    I always ask “How’s that free and open internet thing going for the west?” Because it seems to be doing a great job at helping delegitimize and destabilize liberal democracies.

    Having to install a VPN to access an uncensored internet seems like a good idea tbh. Just a small skill check to make sure you’re at least capable of that before letting you have access to InfoWars
