Says the person defending Winnie the Pooh.
Lol
When it's one person who's doing it, yeah.
... Its not one person. There are hundreds of thousands of members of government in china.
I know you fascists love the idea of an infinitely strong and infinitely weak individual to pin all your worries on, but christ can you please not make it so obvious that's your thought process.
Also good work with the racist meme allusion there little buddy. If you're still stupid enough to believe that myth that Winnie the Pooh was banned, its really no wonder trump was elected.
Uhuh, all following the order of Winnie the Pooh.
What a fucking stretch and a half. When did I say he's weak 🤣. I said he's a dictator. The mental gymnastics you had to go through to imagine that's what I said is fucking S tier. Congrats. I wish I could make up shit like that lol.
Racist meme? Nah, just hating on Xi. It really got your hackles up, seems I struck a nerve. Your ad hominems really prove your point.
Also not an American.
If you're not American, why are you blindly, and stupidly, repeating us propaganda and us racist memes?
Why are you blindly and stupidly repeating Chinese propaganda?
I'm not blindly and stupidly repeating us propaganda and racist memes.
I can't imagine anyone trying to hard to defend an obviously corrupt and authoritarian person like Xi, like for fuck sakes. Hold your politicians accountable. I saw what the Chinese government did to Hong Kong, I've seen what they are trying to do to Taiwan, I've seen the pictures in Tianamen, I've seen pictures of what they are doing to the Uyghurs. China isn't a "good guy" they do so much fucking awful shit, and Xi is at the helm.
Yeah ,someday when the US falls and they stop producing the propaganda you've been consuming thoughtlessly, I hope you can recover and become a real human again.
That's it? The us has nothing to do with this. You bemoan me for blindly consuming propaganda, but friend, you need to look in the mirror. China is a belligerent country, not the fault of its people, but rather the corrupt autocratic rulers.
