    A lot of the western left is beginning to learn more about China I've noticed.

      It takes time. The western left is barely five years old.

        Whenever I see people complain about western and or white leftists, I remind them we are literally having to relearn over a hundred years of history and unlearn so many lies we are taught. This is a result of random guys just having learned that there is a left of the Democratic party within the last 5 years. This doesn't excuse our bad takes, but we really need to keep this in mind.

          it's honestly insane how much and how quickly the left has grown in Western and Westernized countries in the past few years

        They'll come around. You can't see the obvious progress China is making and listen to how they're depicted in the media without having some questions. The genocide stuff really is a matter of "how much do you believe the state department".

        On one hand sure maybe China is just killing untold numbers of people. On the other hand if that was true you would think the US would have a photo or video or something? Kinda like if the US didn't actually land on the moon wouldn't the Soviets have called them out on it?

        The other day in a group chat I had a friend say something like "I learned the DPRK is an actual place you can visit, I wonder how much there is that just isn't taught to us?"

        I do think some people are starting to question things more and that's really cool

          Fun to tell apolitical people you can buy weed there. (I read this in a travel blog post, so dunno how accurate it is, but...)
