I’m gonna ignore everything bad my country does and only talk about the bad things China does. If you mention that hypocrisy then you’re doing a whataboutism and I automatically win the argument
My country does a lot of bad things… for example, it is not critical enough of China.
Liberals, the more diehard Obama worshipping reddit mod types call China authoritarian literally only because they chose a different path than western-aligned, free market capitalism, they will never call out state power abuses of South Korea or Japan because that would expose they’re hypocritical - that it isn’t about authoritarianism, it’s about being / not being an extension of the West.
Even if China were a literal utopia, they would invent reasons to hate them. Because they don’t care about material reality but instead achieving the appearance of having the morally righteous position, and/or to get their ego stroked by strangers, and/or worst of all, merely for the sake of virtual internet points. They approach politics not with analysis, ideals or ethics but like sports fans: "my side better because ____ , your side worse because _____ ".
Like with the DPRK, because it is closed off to the world and it becomes hard to get real dirt on them they just make up stories to ‘prove’ it is bad, so that the leaders and countries they side with are seen as superior in whatever way. It’s so childish and they happily do the work of the CIA for free, I’m not a very hateful person but these type of liberals, I find completely fucking repulsive.
Me: All countries that harbor billionaires are trash.
Everyone: boo, you must simp for one of two things.
There’s a huge difference between societies run by and in the interests of billionaires, to perpetuate their rule and maximize their plunder, and societies that contain billionaires due to still containing private property for secondary and otherwise underdeveloped industries, who are prevented from gaining political power and whose existence is temporary as markets centralize and are folded into the public sector as this process happens.
You suck that billionaire tit like a good boy. Make more excuses why the ruling class is good.
Any country that allows billionaires to exist are run by and in the interests of billionaires.
There is one problem on earth: the ruling class—all of them.
“The ruling class”
Hmm, and what is your proposed solution to this ruling class?
How many countries execute billionaires?
Tankies gonna be tankies
Can you elaborate why the Marxist analysis is wrong?
Sorry, friendly fire.
I was so confused lol
No worries! I think you can restore removed comments?
I can’t restore comments that were deleted via “Remove Content,” so in this case, no. They’re the comments that don’t show up in the modlog. It’s an outstanding bug.
