LOVE TO SAY THAT A PERSON WHO LIVES IN A PLACE KNOWS LESS ABOUT THE SITUATION THAN ME A DUDE ON THE INTERNET
Reminds me of y*nks prattling on and on about how Europe has 'Islamic No-Go Zones' all over the place and that it is on the brink of becoming a caliphate any day now.
Speaking of which, why do I not hear about this as much nowadays?
:100-com:
It’s actually crazy how little of a shit people give now about “RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM” now than even a few years ago
I think their line is Trump beat ISIS so it's not a threat anymore. Probably will suddenly be again once / if Biden gets in. Maybe Xi is funding new ISIS while simultaneously destroying Muslims in China.
Nah, the shift has happened in Australia too. China is the new baddy. Part of my ongoing 'radicalise my partner further and further' campaign is a daily discussion of the media building us up for a war with China.
Oh yeah, but it's something that were being conditioned to be ok with. Even our 'left wing' newspapers and online publications have jumped onto the 'China hates muslims' and 'free Hong Kong' bandwagon.
I'd be worried about who left this kettle here, but it isn't white so it won't be in Australia for long.
True. Need to shift that labour somewhere. God knows we can't pay people a decent wage to do it.
Muslims have taken a backseat to radical Antifa BLM marxists.
Wrong stereotype. We Chinese are mindless drones without creativity or individuality who are either completely asexual (men) or hyper sexual (women).
We can be the "good" minorities if we never criticize white supremacy, try to assume a leadership position, or date white women.
Nah. You can't really refute that type of stuff because truth was never really a part of it. Focus shifted to domestic problems and china.
This is the right answer. The imperialist hate machine moved on to the new target. The greatest threat to american hegemony....
GYNA!
Eh if some white reactionary from Venezuela said Maduro was literally Hitler I wouldn't be trusting them either.
You can freely listen to different opinions
Advice this asshole has never once used.
Edit: also the irony of seeing that you're allegedly able to freely voice different opinions, on a platform that actively tried to purge us for our opinions, is literally going to kill me.
Listening to different opinions, but all I hear is the sound of the TCP/IP initialization noise from Russia.
All Chinese people do is consume CCP propaganda, I know this because the US State Department told me so.
haha silly chinese! let us westerners tell you how you're wrong & your government is bad! of course we don't hate you, we just want to teach you how to be smart like us! you're just too dumb to know that the cpc is lying to you, while the us state department tells me the truth!
You don’t need to censor the names this isn’t reddit, comrade
Actually it's actively counter-revolutionary to censor the names. What if I want to go over there and bully them?
I found it for you comrade:

Good GOD is that person an insufferable prick. I can't remember the last time I saw someone so full of themselves, jfc
Most of the Asian country specific subs on reddit are full of this type.
"I've lived here 2 years so let me tell you, person who's live here all their life, about how your country is bad."
There is more to life than working food and family. How about the power to grow and change the world? I hope one day you can see the evil CCP for what it really is.
Example #infinity of anticommunists just describing life in the US as communism.
except in the US you can lose your job for any reason, food is either unaffordable or extremely unhealthy, and your family will get locked up for a dimebag--or just murdered by the pigs for literally no reason
It is a sub with the Qing flag as its icon—that alone should have been a warning.
r/Sino can be wild at times, but it probably is way more representative of China than r/china
/r/sino is more representative of China, but /r/China is more representative of westerners in China.
This is the online imperialism equivalent of lindsay lohan filming herself trying to kidnap those kids
i understood all of those words and none of that sentence. i definitely missed a news story somewhere or something
i think im happy not witnessing what im sure is rage inducing idiocy.
but thanks for the breakdown on it comrade
I hate the CCP not the people ... and also all Chinese people are mindless drones to the CCP.
they don't hate the chinese people who are paid by the CIA to badmouth China
Love the guy telling OP to read 1984 "if he can do it without getting in trouble".
There are useful concepts in 1984, like doublethink and the oxymoronic names of organizations (i.e. department of defense), although thanks for naming the evil party after socialism Orwell, that really helped the cause you fuckin rat. Animal Farm on the other hand is straight trash, lets just ignore the fact the USSR was invaded by 14 capitalist countries directly after WW2 lmao
pretty sure one of the Proles of the Round Table guys said on the pod that there was a western-themed store that sold Animal Farm and 1984 when he visited, funnily enough
600 million people earn less than 1000元 per month!?
When I first learned China's economic demographics, a bit over a decade ago, that was one billion people.
I wonder what happened.
All 400 million of those missing people were Uighurs who were genocided by the CCP.
A Christian zealot told me, so it must be true.
I'm convinced Americans need to have a boogie man at all times. So so much of the anti-China propaganda is coming from just a handful of sources and I forgot the name of the guy but he is some crazy ultra religious dude that hates China and has been making up so called human rights issues like that organ harvesting shit. He is a total whack job but it doesn't stop those types of posts getting widely circulated or upvoted highly on reddit. I feel like "normal" people just amplify this and people who oppose this are basically ignored. Americans just have to have a world super power enemy to also justify the insane military spending and imperialism too. Some of those people that are super anti-China for the so called human rights violations literally don't care about anything the US undeniably does and the mountains of shit the intelligence agencies have done in the past.
If someone remembers the name of the guy I'm talking about, please let me know, I should know his name by now but just simply don't remember. IIRC he is in the fulan gong
By the way, the 'falun gong*' chap you were thinking about is someone else, probably the one from China Uncensored.
Ah okay, cause I know the falun gong are super into conspiracy theories that westerners are also eating up, so I figured he was part of them too.
There's an academic by the name of Morris Berman who believes that the US defines itself by a "negative" identity, that is, to identify yourself by what you oppose. i.e: "savage native" vs. civilized Christian pioneer, master vs slave, black vs white, free world vs. iron curtain, etc.
Because it lacks a positive identity, an identity with affirmative values of its own, when the subject introspects into its own character and finds a void, it reacts violently.
Or so Berman claims.
That sounds suspiciously a lot like how Neo-Conservatives interact with their negative or anti-politics.
Literally just listed to a podcast today about Phyllis Schlafly and her involvement in the rise of the modern far-right, Qanon type of conservative that helped trump come into power. Her whole purpose, in her mind, was to be soo Anti-Communist that she spun and re-branded anything considered even remotely progressive, or anti-nuclear family as being communist and tried to put a stop to it.
With this type of rhetoric we're already too progressive, so being regressive and against anything libs are doing is the only way to fight the threat of communism.
We can thank her in large part to the election of Trump
This is literally just a continual trend of republican ideas of the polity, there's always a group outside of it that is a threat. One of the key insights of Marx is to overcome that and get a polity that is truly inclusive with all human beings equally in the demos.
The second Americans accept at large that weare the bad guys, the ruling class will be in deep shit, so we're doomed for them to constantly be propping up bad guys until the end of time.
Ehhh, I figure that given the choice between "continue to be villains" and "unemployment goes up and stock market goes down", a large chunk of ordinary Americans would choose the former.
The guy is literally on Reddit, a place where narratives that go against Chinese government propaganda are reproduced all the time. Can't people think about what they say for two seconds
