    lol, what a shit take. I’m just capable of having complex thoughts about things and don’t reduce it to “my side good. Other side bad” like tankies do. China’s treatment of the Uighurs is very plausible genocide and at the very least exploitative and imperial. Ditto Tibet. Their trampling over the rights of Hong Kongers and international agreements in order to do cannot be described as anything other than imperial and authoritarian. And their posturing towards Taiwan is nothing short of terrifying in the same way any country threatening to invade and annex another independent nation would be.

    This is all just facts on the ground, not propaganda. Nothing you might wish to retort regarding America or other western countries bears any relevance, because I’m just not interested in whataboutism.

            Ooh, condescension along with tankie bullshit. It’s a win-win!

            It’s honestly kinda cute that you tankies actually think you’re anything other than fascists.

                  Fair, I’ll ban myself from this conversation. Everyday I understand Stalin just that littlest but more though.

                unwilling to rule over others tankies

                Your precise problem is your willingness to allow authoritarians to rule over others and then pretend to yourself that that’s not what’s happening. You have critical thinking skills that a five year old would surpass. It’s laughable.
