Aren't a lot of them fascists posting islamophic/ anti-queer shit?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

Perhaps, but a lot of them are radicalized too, because their government is so obviously villainous.

Bro they’re almost 20% of the population of the world, there’s some that support everything. The only political stuff I’ve seen o my weibo or 小红书 (little red book) feeds political lately have all been supporting Palestine and condemning Israel though, if you care for anecdotal data.

Aren't you going home each night to sit with your thumb up your butt? Plenty of people are saying it, believe me.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Do you think there arent chinese racists?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

And what if I do? 😳👉👈

[-] [email protected] 53 points 2 years ago

Do you guys…speak Chinese? I don’t. So they wouldn’t do me any good. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve come across them and couldn’t read them.

Doesn’t the great firewall mostly censor access within the country? It searches for keywords of topics they don’t want their people reading. As for information leaving/entering the country, it’s still accessible, it just prioritizes domestic information. But yeah, sounds like a great system that would totally pwn me and my beliefs as an anti-statist and someone who sees communism as flawed—not to mention whatever china is operating under now, which sure as shit isn’t communism lol

There are about as many Chinese people who speak English as a second language as there are Americans speaking English natively.

I'm sure you would notice it if they had unrestricted access to the internet. They can't all be lurking.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

there's like a lot of chinese people in china

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago
[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yes, most. But not all. There are currently approximately 50 million Chinese people living elsewhere.

That's a lot more than the domestic population of many individual countries.

"Hundreds of millions of Chinese Communists"? Millions at the very best. The vast majority of them are apolitical beyond somewhat basic approaches of "the government does good/bad thing for me, so government good/bad" like most people everywhere. And I'm not going to accept that the Chinese who actually simp for the government are actually Communists if they simp for a government that allows billionaires to accrue even more wealth through exploiting people, persecute minorities and tentatively dips its toes into imperialism. None of that shit is in the Communist Manifesto. If you disagree with this take, you're unironically agreeing with tankies.

Communism isn't a problem, just like actual christlike Christians aren't a problem.

The problem is the susceptibility to abusive power. Capitalism is bad at that, but communism is terrible at it.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

communism isnt susceptibil to abusive power. the marxist leninist transition state is.

guess what, when a small group of ppl has full power over a state, ppl and economy "to transform it into a monyeless, stateless and classless society", they will make sure to create a system that favours themsleves instead and that their state never withers away.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

By your own assertion, people can create groups that are self-serving.

Go ahead and tell me your communistic ideal, and I can tell you how someone could hack it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Stop using capitalism to mean liberalism

Just say liberalism

You're comparing a vague economic description to a whole ass ideology

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm comparing capitalism to communism. If your issue is with that, I can't help you.

If your issue is with me using Christianity as an example of a system that is broken in a similar way to communism, perhaps I can elaborate if you're interested.

By 'capitalism,' though, I simply mean 'capitalism.' Sorry to disappoint you, bud, but the liberals aren't the problem.

Now, I don't have a fundamental problem with capitalism, it's just weak in that it trends towards inducing and rewarding short-term thought, but it fundamentally depends on long-term thought.

Like anything, it can be a useful tool, but it's definitely the principle of a "whole-ass ideology".

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That's a lot of words for "I don't actually know what I'm talking about"

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Your judgment stings, really.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The ignorant are often proud of their attitudes, yes.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Are insults and derision seriously all you've got to offer?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You could try asking questions instead of saying nonsense in the future, valuable contributer.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Asking questions of you? No need.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Not of me, specifically, you great mind.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Although I'm fine with witty banter, when I ask questions I look for people who can combine their genuity with intelligence.

So indeed. Not of you. And not of anyone you imagine I should.

Your dangling reply is most welcome, should you make one.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oh god, you think you're intelligent. That's... Well, we've been over this, but I assume you've forgotten.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

We need to work together to create one big shitposting network. Mr Xi, tear down that firewall.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

I wonder how many Chinese are actually communists considering how it's the most capitalist country in the world and has been so for a long while, being communist just in the name.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I play Foxhole with a few guys from mainland China, there in Singapore at the moment. It's kind of a weird mindset, they see it more as they got there wealth from Communism? But now see themselves as capitalists. Basically they say almost no one actually buys into the "CCP" bit more a ignorance is bliss thing. They compare it to the 10% of radical right wingers in states. But they do believe things should be better and generally people are naturally expecting more of there government. I kinda stole the meme from a discord, so im by know means an expert. From what I hear though general vibe I've gotten from mainlanders is ignorance is bliss, we want better, ya we know this is bull shit but it's our country.
