That was me, a few months ago.

My opinion on China changed in the wake of the covid crisis. Just compare the way they handled it to all the supposed "democratic" countries. And what reinforced is seeing how the people I love and respect are falling for all the propaganda since then.

If they're liberal, then they say they have no problem with Chinese people, only the government. And if they're old...well, I can't repeat what they say. And the rise in all the fucking hate-crimes against Asian people.

I wasn't alive to experience the first cold war. But now that the second one is brewing, I know which side to support (for whatever that's worth.)

To be clear, I still think Soviet aesthetic is damn cool and am not really into (or know much about) Chinese aesthetics.
