“China bad” and “both sides bad” are the ultimate rebuttals against tankies, no evidence necessary
“The USA are the worst. They lie, steal and murder to get what they want. I am so glad they are honest when it comes to their political rival though.”
i don’t remember the last time that china destroyed a country using fake allegations of WMDs or using diplomats disguised as nurses to have a casus belli
that’s exactly right you fucken smooth brain, maybe you could consider the USA with the same critical lens you consider your ‘bad guy countries’
I’m not from the US and I’d say both are pretty bad. US democracy seems to be in shambles and their interference around the world is well known. China democracy is non existent and the treatment of their own citizens is questionable.
China practices democracy a little bit differently, and I’d argue more democratically.
Instead of fighting over candidates in a show fight where you don’t get a say in policy, China operates under democratic centralism where you come to a consensus on actual policy. As for treatment of their own citizens, the Chinese government has been making strides to improve the lives of their average citizen, and this does show in statistics.
I know I’m in the wrong community for this but I’m interested in your take. I thought China was an authoritarian one-party state. To be a democracy don’t the people need to be able to vote for their elected officials? I see China as democratic as Russia in that sense, with a single party being kept in power for decades with the intent of eternity.
“i agree usa bad, but i also want the usa to be unopposed on the world stage and continue using its hegemony to perpetuate genocide” is crazy
For any tankies here: yes, USA bad and genocidal, I agree. That’s why I support them unquestionably. Because I too am bad and genocidal.
