Right? How fun! That guy has a nazi armband! So cool!

Are you calling Chinese police similar to Nazis….? I’ve never had a bad interaction with one and they’re certainly not fascists

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 hours ago

That's a fairly complex topic. The big take away is that the Chinese government isn't exactly loved by a lot of people.

A lot of westerners, sure. The vast majority of Chinese would disagree since they’re 1-2 generations away from poverty. Depending on the city most grandparents have zero education, parent may have gone to middle school, then current gen has shot for the stars. Chinese government can be unfair, but no one can argue they didn’t make everyone’s lives materially better

everyone’s lives materially better

Yes, I'm sure the Uyghurs and political dissidents agree wholeheartedly with you.

I think you need to look up the word material.

Yes, the Uyghurs currently being genocided are certainly materially better off.
