2 days agoAh yes, build a strawman “westerner,” surely that’ll help you. I wasn’t praising Canada’s practices, but whatever helps you project, I guess. My favorite part of your entire neurotic rant, honestly, is that you defend genocide by pointing to a worse genicide, like somehow that makes every insane, disgusting, and anti-humanitarian thing China had done totally fine, because, “but the West is worse!”
You can think whatever you want, but my suspicion is that you’re either lying or terribly misled. And yes, probably a tankie, but there’s room for error there.
“Say what you want about Hitler, but he pulled Germany out of poverty!”
Fucking WOOSH.
“When they said it, it was propaganda, unlike glorious China!”
Yes, there are so many historical instances of the wonders of communism pulling countries from poverty. It’s famous for being an uncorruptable ideology where the people are never abused by ill-actors who work from a position of social elite status, unlike the disgusting systems of capitalism in the west. I hope I don’t need the /s here.
The irony of you telling me I’m attacking the “wrong enemy” is palpable, considering you painted an entire portrait of my ideologies, beliefs and behaviours based on my lemmy instance. It’s almost as ironic as you telling me to mind my business and stick to my own country, when all I said is that fascist China isn’t going to save us from fascist America, while you’re neither Chinese nor American. Of course, when you get involved to stand against the ignorant westerners, it’s virtuous, and when those ignorant westerners speak out against blatant lies and propaganda, they need to mind their own business.
Fuck off, tankie. I don’t need to waste my day picking apart half truths to discern where the dishonesty lies.
