Oh no, someone fell for tankie memes rather than talking to a tankie and learning what their deal is.
I’m gonna answer that last one cause it’s the only one I know lol.
So you know how we are banning tiktok because we are afraid of China influencing America? So fun fact, America does that. We are like, cultural colonists. We have created a sort of global super culture that has gotten into every countries lives.
And we have 100% used that as a sort of “in” with locals in countries we were not friends and then we would use that influence to radicalize the right wing ideologies in the country and cause destabilization and, all things going well, revolutions. See: all of south America and the Middle East (hi Afghanistan).
So with all that in mind. With the world’s greatest super power systematically using its cultural influence as a soft power start with encouraging revolutions in your country for its own geo political gain. All that in mind. It’s kinda the most obvious move in the world. The US is doing it right now because they “perceived” it happening to us. If China became a big cultural export to the world you’d bet your ass that we would great firewall ourselves off. We just don’t have to. Because we are big dog. Woof woof. And China don’t have a large amount of cultural export.
Sidenote. A Chinese company, tencent was making investments into videogames. They own riot who make league of legends and they have been getting their finger into a lot of studios for that sweet gamer money. The US gov said this game investment company is “apart of the Chinese military” lol.
Gaza.
Or if we are just counting domestic ethnic cleansings, I’d like you to open your mind to some perspectives here you may find hard to accept.
Incoming president is talking about deporting legal and illegal immigrants from central and south America. I’d call that ethnic cleansing
We target our black population with over policing and underfunding restricting them largely to dying neighborhoods where they are then made criminal, arrested And put to slave labor. I would say this is arguably ethnic cleansing.
Native American reservations are poorly taken care of, placed on land of no value, and left to wallow. They starve and live in poverty. They have two choices. Integrate into America or suffer. Kill the Indian save the man. I’d say this is also arguably ethnic cleansing.
Now, your gonna get reeeeeal mad when you read all that and your gonna say " you fucking idiot, that’s not ethnic cleansing" and I’m gonna point out the word arguably.
The point here is that you give America a biiiiiiiig pass on its many crimes. But China, a place you know nothing about outside of American sources gets the opposite of a pass. Have you considered that maybe our government, who calls China our mortal enemy, embellished some things? For our entire lives? Just something to consider.
And before you go off on “YOUR JUST EXCUSING CHINA”, I am not. I am pointing out a hypocrisy. China has and is doing a lot of fucked up things. But information that is good is hard to find in the sea of state sponsored lies
Outside of “Chinese man gets removed from his league of legends match cause a player talked about tiananmen square” memes, what do you know about Chinese censorship?
Talking out your ass
What’s the difference in democracy or dictatorship if both are committing crimes against humanity just one does it by committee
Someone doesn’t know. Neither the history nor current events of the United States. Oh well. Can’t do much with a confidently wrong person.
And so has America. However imagine if every comment about every topic related to America was filled with “They are arming a genocide!”
I mean, this post is just about the fun facts Americans and Chinese are learning from each other about how we really live and cutting through both nations propaganda and instead of talking about how FUCKING COOL THAT IS, we have to stop and have this conversation. Again. Because China is a trigger word and every American is a sleeper agent
You just made that up. You genuinely have no idea what the Chinese perception of the uyghur imprisonment is. In fact you’ve gone out of your way to call their prison system a “work camp”. I’m not even saying that it’s not a work camp. What I am saying is you wouldn’t call American prisons a work camp despite also being used for mass slave labor.
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.
I didn’t make that argument. You make a good point but it’s in agreement with mine, not against it. The point I’m making is people can talk about America without it being about our crimes. I can talk about the urban planning and shit of Amsterdam without someone coming in to tell me about how bad the fucking Belgium Congo was.
However, nothing good can be said about China without " CHINESE PROPAGANDA, YOUR JUST A PAID SHILL, REMEMBER TIANANMEN SQUARE?!?!" When we are just trying to have a basic ass fucking cultural exchange. No other country in the god damn world catches that much flack for the shit they do. That hatred is bred deep and I’m tired of it.
Can you find me a person in China who will tell you that’s true or did you pick that up from memes of people posting Winnie the Pooh xi?
You learned in highschool what a reliable source is and “cultural osmosis” is not a valid source.
Always has been. That’s how propaganda works. A lot of exposure for a small amount of loaded terms. Taught in schools to prepare the kids to grow up hating China as our state enemy
But it’s still good to talk about the good things because those good things help us do better the next time. Doesn’t mean you gotta go out and buy a Chinese flag, learn Mandarin, defect, marry a Chinese woman and integrate into the culture, swear yourself to the CCP and what the fuck else. You can just be like “hey China is investing heavily into public transport. It’s pretty effective. Neat”
You know. The way you react to any country doing a neat thing. But since we got this “China is evil dictatorship where their whole population is basically enslaved” mindset, you can’t. That’s propagandas power. They are just people like the rest of us.
Your time is sooo valuable lol
Hey. I want you to Google the name Fred Hampton and find out what America does to it’s minority who speaks out.
Maybe consider we have a larger prison population than the 1.whatever billion people. Largely made of our minorities.
Take a mirror to yourself before you throw stones.
This isn’t to say China doesn’t deserve criticism. The point is that many of your “they are an evil dictatorship who slaughters minorities!” Doesn’t hold up when we, a democracy, is doing the same thing but worse.
