    I understand that the American government is full of lies and paints those it has labeled “enemy” in a web of falsehoods, but your calling a dynasty of inherited emperors “outsized influence” is worse than if I hand waved Elon musk as “outsized influence”. And the violent suppression of viewpoints in China is well verified.

    America is a capitalist hellscape. I don’t disagree. You can’t “whatabout” it to escape China and DPRK doing some heinous shit. No matter what horrible shit America does it doesn’t change the truth of what I said.

    You can pretend I support it in some way and am an easy to attack white person who just toes the party line because I benefit from the system. But none of that is true.

      Doubles down on being a chauvinist idiot lecturing a Chinese person about reality in China, nice

        The only arguments I’ve ever heard in response to the free speech problem, and continue to hear from you, is “bbbbut America worse” or “you are a dumb American”. I never said “but Chinese are stupid” or “fucking tankie loyalist”, but if I did, that’d tell you a lot about my viewpoints. Just like it does yours when you reduce me to some kind of American cheerleader, even against my direct statements to the contrary.
