"Racist, you say! But how?"Because basically people don't believe a country full of non-white people could be crushing a white-dominated country at the imperialist capitalist game AND also that China, like, changed with time. People of color aren't static cultural objects!— Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, #Justice4AnthonyMcClain (@IBJIYONGI) October 21, 2020
How about Western “Leftists” don’t believe that a country full of non-white people is capable of being anything but masses hypnotized by Machiavellian tyrants?
Are non-white people somehow less immune to this than white people or have you forgotten about the last couple decades?
America is a system that has perpetrated plenty of brutality without the need for a tyrant. Americans aren't hypnotized by Trump (or Reagan or Clinton or Obama or whoever), they've been this way, as a people. Same with all the Western nations, same with the fascists. There's no disavowal, we're all implicated in domination and conflict. So pick a side and stop thinking you're magnanimous for championing naive enlightenment era understandings of liberty and freedom while parroting the viewpoints of a regime which has used these notions in their sloganeering at the vanguard of the global conquest of liberal capitalism
