    It is the same as the United States and Silicon Valley; I won’t defend China because I hate America, just as I can’t ally with Baphomet just to kill Lucifer.

    I am politically pessimistic, so I don’t believe that any good state, government or politician really exists, they are all equally disgusting and putrid, and as such, I hate each and every one of them equally.

      I will defend China because it’s doing good. It has lifted 100s of millions out of poverty.nit is the only country that is on track to hit the goals set by the Paris climate agreement - many years ahead of schedule. It invests heavily in public infrastructure, to the good of the people. It has become a fantastic producer of solar energy panels, which will be needed to ensure a livable future - in fact China does so many wonders in the fields of climate science, energy production and so much more. It has one of the best democratic systems I have ever seen - and that shows in the belief its citizens have in the democratic processes of China. It is one of the only countries that has taken Big Tech seriously - curtailing it rather than letting it foment genocides and spread misinformation. It is the only country that actually makes billionaires answer to the law. It has made great strides with it’s anti-corruption campaigns as well, something I wish I would see elsewhere.
      The critiques I have of the nation are likewise being rectified. LGBTQ rights are constantly being expanded for example.

      Why do you assume support of a country is contingent on how one feels about another country?

      I don’t hate the US because of anything to do with China. I hate the US because of what the US is and does.

      You have a very simplistic worldview.

        Good choice with Baphomet, a propaganda campaign to persecute the Templar Order because they became too powerful.

      Noo, if you admit that there can be more than one bad thing, you’ve fallen for western propaganda! For there is only one bad thing: The bourgeoisie west!

        Yeah lmao

        And, again, I hate US too, but I hate every government/state/party/politician equally, so well… I’m just really pesimistic, more as I live in Venezuela, that basically divinizes China, and here we can barely even exist peacefully; just now we even have an arbitrary curfew for the army to steal everything they want in my town.

          Oof, that’s tough. Are there any mutual aid groups in your area to reach out to?
