Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

              Yes we can all do multiple things at the same time, doesn't change the fact that so long as you hate them equally you're playing into the hands of the ruling class

              They want you to think China is worse but they'll settle for you thinking amerikkka isn't the most evil coutry in the world

              Even if I still believed any of the propaganda about China it still wouldn't make any sense to focus on them when all of the worst people in the world are running this country and they're my immediate problem

              Maybe you'll end up right but at least when China rules the world the food will be better and seeing the empire crumble will be worth whatever the cost is

                A new empire rising to replace it won't make any difference. The human rights abuses in China, while often exaggerated by mainstream media, are very real. Like there might not be a Uyghur genocide but they are VERY discriminated against.

                  If you support the Cuban revolution and its government, what do you consider different between them and the CPC?

                  Genuine question because Fidel at one point endorsed anti gay policy, Cubans suffer in their country just as Chinese do in theirs. Is it purely a belief in 'authoritarianism' in China?

                  Or to put it differently, what would have to happen in China for you to believe it is progressing towards socialism?

                    Does Cuba have billionaires? Does Cuba have hyper market capitalism? No. Cuba actually progresses towards socialism, China might improve quality of life (for the Han majority at least) but they're clearly not aiming for socialism. And yeah, China's far more oppressive and authoritarian than Cuba, that sort of thing isn't compatible with socialism.
