I’ve lived in China. I’ve had Chinese live with me. I actually know shit without going on social media and being fed propaganda.

Name a government that’s not terrible and I’ll find you some articles showing the state being terrible.

Statism is unjust.

You know you can tune out when they mention Zenz. He is to tankies as Soros is to Republicans.

Anything negative of China is propaganda says the .ml tankie.

Gee, you wouldn’t happen to be utterly biased at all.

Anecdotal evidence means nothing, doubly so from a .ml troll.

Tradition is big. E.g TCM crap over science

You cannot disagree with the state

Stokes fear and hatred of outsiders

Blames social frustrations on those outsiders

Appeals to restore past glory

Han ethnic supremacy

We already don’t guarantee that.

So why are you holding DD to this standard and not RD?

Unlike fools old fashioned honest abusers.

You think they’re in France and Australia training local police?

And representative rule doesn’t lead to “justice” presently?

I’m so sick and tired of hearing this argument against direct democracy in that if it doesn’t solve every flaw we have today that it should be viewed skeptically.

But look how vibrant and happy the chairs are. What a crazy fun workplace.

Alternatively if China gets involved in Taiwan, it would also be one of the best times to try to secede.
