Banning the healthcare of a minority group, systemically refusing to recognize their existence, treating them as a group with less rights, banning them from certain spaces, making them face horrific conditions when incarcerated, supporting hatred against them that leads to killings…

Okay, yeah, that does make sense.

Poststructuralism.

What the fuvk is all this? Don’t answer, I’m afraid you’ll get stuck in another loop.

😭

Okay true.

Chinese citizens BELIEVE they’re democratic and all equal. Not that they actually are.

I agree with that, yeah.

India being listed as a democracy doesn’t help this point. India being above China and New Zealand is wild.

Your belief that China is an authoritarian oppressive regime seems to be unfalsifiable. If approval ratings are high it’s because the people are being silenced and secretly hate their government. If approval is low it’s because they hate their government. If the approval ratings are real then they’ve been brainwashed by nationalism.

Like everything indicates the approval ratings are real, there were studies conducted by Western universities that didn’t have stake in the matter and most Chinese citizens had a positive opinion of the PRC. There’s no way to fake this kind of stuff as well as you’re describing for decades.

There are various reasons for why I can understand Chinese citizens like China. They’re entering the golden age of their economy right now and legitimately have competitive quality of life when compared to Americans. Their country is becoming a superpower and that could be a source of national pride for some Chinese citizens. I think those reasons can explain the results without adding in coercion.

Fire drones. That what the French are missing.

You’ve completely lost the point. You would vote for any arbitrary percent Hitler, 200% 1000%, is defensive as long as the other party has a higher Hitler percentage.

I am a fan of a good spaghetti, don’t get me wrong, but only as a treat sometimes.

then wtf does it equate to? The Palestinian genocide was worse than anything Trump might have done to Americans and both presidents gave full support to it.

Yeah, the bipartisan holocaust is just what it is, I guess, to these people. They just give up on going against it as soon as Democrats are for it.

BROTHER, they’re not going to stop fascism, you already agreed they are “normalizing” fascism.

So you’re fine with normalizing this kind of shit, that’s tolerable to you, but draw the line at speed-running it?

Both parties are predators, I’m not against voting for liberals because of some intellectual moral abstract reason, it’s because it normalizes the bad things they’re doing, and it tells them that they can just get away with going right. WHEN DOES THIS SHIT END? When Democrats become literally identical to Republicans but are polite about it when they deport people or defund trans healthcare? 100% Hitler pedophile vs. 99% Hitler 100% pedophile vote blue no matter who!

Let’s have a reminder of what this was like 6 years ago. How much lesser evil liberals are capable of gleefully endorsing? Let’s open up the archives…

They have promised to eat your faces:

I’m not so sure, like once the 2027 financial crisis is declared they probably will start lynching us like a sacrifice to the economy gods to bring rain.

Is it really a genocide? Like I’m trans and being pushed towards losing my life, and that’s bad, but it feels weird calling that a genocide when you compare it to the actual Holocaust or Palestine or the Sudanese civil war. For it to qualify I think I’d have to be arrested and executed for being trans, not just driven to suicide because I don’t have any friends and no employers will hire me.

Yes
