We genocided native Americans, currently have the largest enslaved people population in the world, and actively have destroyed other countries simply for not wanting to be friends with us when we really wanted them to be our friend.
We have a president actively advocating for invading Mexico, invading Panama, annex Canada, annex Greenland.
The problem with trying to shit talk the "evils of China" is that as Americans, it's purely hypocrisy. We don't have a fucking leg to stand on. Everything they've done we have done or are currently doing.
Does that make what they do okay? No of course not. But pretending they are this axis of pure evil when all they have done is the typical things a large state does is hypocritical and makes you look silly.
You ever considered the cool things China has done?
Oh noooo can't do that. It's Chinese propaganda to pretend they ever have done anything good. Obviously I am a 9 year old chained to a chair being forced to write this.
And did mentioning these things just make the message disappear on US-based lemmy-instances?
I don't believe it did.
And what do you know about Chinese censorship? You just say words but have you spoken to a Chinese person from China and idk. Asked? You can do that. It's happening right here. You have a vague idea that China has censorship and your entire life full of memes about it each one increasing the severity of the previous one.
My point is you don't know shit about what a Chinese forum would even look like. Youve never seen one, read one, talked to anyone who has. But you come here swinging like your a god damn born and raised talking from first hand experience. You could be right. You could be wrong. Neither of us know for sure but I can admit that and you can't imagine that maybe someone embellished some things to you and you bought it.
