• You mean: How do I feel about a bunch of weirdos supporting a regime that have tried to terminate my existence via the enforcement of One Child Policy? (I was the 2nd child born in my family)

    Idk… am I supposed to like people that believes its for the greater good for me to have been aborted because “bUt tHe oVeRpOpUlAtIoN”…?

    I mean, I very much like breathing and watching movies, tv shows, anime, and I’m glad I’ve been able to play fun games like FTL… so I’m not too keen on the government that catergorically rejected my right to exist… and I don’t really like those uninformed weirdos that thinks somehow CCP taking control of their country is gonna magically solve problems… like lmao, lets see these porn-addicted people try watching porn in China… (porn is illegal)

      I’m pretty sure (or hope) that antinatalist ecofascist horseshit will get you banned from any leftist instance, nobody thinks the 1 child policy was anything except a mistake based off some liberal neomalthusulan horseshit.

      I’ve done that lol just use a vpn. Probably a quarter of my xhs is thirst content

      Very fair. They always insist that people in China really like the CCP but I’ve never found that to be true. Having lived in a city with a very large Chinese diaspora I found that people generally really didn’t like the CCP. But maybe theres some selection effect going on there? The people who didnt like the CCP are the ones who left? Im not sure.

      Either way, those guys on lemmy.ml are really intense. You say one thing they don’t like and they’ll just come at you like a pack of dogs and fling insult after insult your way. Source: I accidentally said something moderately supportive of NATO without realizing I was in an .ml community yesterday. It was a trip

        It has always fascinated me how a bunch of people who have never been to China, and who don’t speak the language have such confident opinions about Chinese politics. It’s the exact same racist paternalism they constantly accuse liberals of, but with a triple dose of fart huffing.

          So part of the reason for that is .ml and hexbear are pretty much the only instances blocked by the great firewall. So .ml users who go to China can either jump instances or use a vpn/hk-based esim to post.

          I actually have been to China, fwiw. I also didn’t express any strong opinions about China in my comment

        There’s absolutely zero doubt there’s some selection bias there. The question is, how much?

      I don’t think people backing one child policy and similar policies have beef specifically against you and your existence. They believe overpopulation to be a problem and believe authoritarian practices to be the best solution to handle the problem.
