Redpill me on China. (hexbear.net)

Okay, so background: I'm your average pro-gun fuck-the-police, fuck-trump zoomer honed by years of unsupervised internet access and I've just discovered this community and started lurking for a while. But I still hold extremely negative views on China, which I still think are justified.

"Which views?" I'll throw them out real quick: child labor! internet censorship! media censorship! anti-LGBTQ! uygher genocide? positive and pro war relations with russia! (because fuck putin)

So I get really confused anytime I see people expressing pro-China sentiments. Have I been spoonfed by the media or are some of these points actually justified?

Okay, so I managed to not only forget my password but neglect to properly save it on my password manager so unless there's a way to reset your password without an email by commencing in some sort of secret orgy with the mods, my main account is effectively fucked.

On a better note, I've read everybody's comments and have come to the conclusion that while China isn't perfect, it's sure as fuck doing better than America. (obligatory fuck America, should've added that in the original post)

Thanks for not treating me like a troll and instead as someone who was genuinely curious. Definitely gonna be frequenting this site more often. Also, Chris Dorner did nothing wrong

Congrats on coming around faster than I did, it's honestly pretty embarrassing thinking how much of the western propaganda I used to buy into just a few years ago

Like I knew the media was lying about Cuba and Venezuela and Palestine and even Iran but I believed a lot of the bullshit about China and the DPRK

The sort of trolls this site attracts aren't smart or subtle enough for an act like this, ranting about being force feminized by the pumpkin spice is more their speed

I'm glad it's made sense, I'd suspect all of us are hoping for the best from China.

Domestically, we should be prepared for any opportunity to change things, maybe the gears come to a sudden halt and we can seize on that.

But it's more like than not that the US simply becomes more overtly fascist than the latent fascism inherent to it today. If there's any hope for the world at that point, there has to exist a force capable of stopping the US. And in the aftermath, powerful enough to make sure that it isn't given a real seat at the table.
