That’s not exactly a novel thing though, you can find that opinion on pretty much any lemmy instance besides those two. Frankly I’m more concerned about my own government spending endless amounts of money on weapons to murder civilians than I am about hong kong, people I actually know have been injured by cops protesting in the US, from where I’m standing that’s the primary violent police state to be dismantled.

yeah, but the argument was on these two

I don’t want that either, but I also don’t want people giving money to China for cheap low quality products which finances konzentration camps and suppressing hongkong and I don’t like people who say the west is imperialist but in the same breath simp for China and Russia, because all nation states are imperialist by concept.

people I actually know have been injured by cops protesting in the US

for me this is the same with China, I know some chinese people that still suffer under the CCP even tho they live in another country now

I have some bad news about America if you buy food here, it’s all terrible quality and harvested with a ton of forced prison labor, America has more people imprisoned than any country on the planet. I live here so it’s a bigger issue to me than what its state enemies are doing on the other side of the planet.

Is China sending cops to other countries to beat them up or something?

Oh, you mean like this? (There are plenty of news stories about this happening, even in left-leaning publications.)

I don’t get it why it’s always deflect on China, Russia, and other authoritarian regimes, but attack attack attack for the US. Why is it so terrible to admit that authoritarianism is wrong, period, regardless of whether it’s nominally capitalist or whether they claim to be communist?

Anarchism

!anarchism@lemmy.ml

Create post

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don’t be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
