The word you're looking for is "proof." I have proof that China exploits it's workers, becuase China is capitalist in all ways that matter.
I like how you totally ignored the rest of the comment, probably because you don't have a leg to stand on.
I care about them enough to not delude myself into thinking a government that doesn't give a shit about them is somehow better because it's "socialist" on paper.
As an Asian man (my father is Fillipino,) I forgive you your hipster racisim, because I know it's borne out of ignorance. Secondly, it's not "oritentalism" to tell the truth about an oppresive government.
🫡 Thank you for educating me about my government (that has 95+% support among the people even according to western institutes like Harvard). You a half Filipino American clearly understand it and it's nuances better than me despite not being able to engage with any of the analysis I put forth. It is so gracious of you to shoulder the white man's burden on their behalf. Again I salute you 🫡
FYI, as a post ages, there are diminishing returns to engaging, because the audience quickly dwindles. Somehow @Cowbee@lemmy.ml keeps going and never burns out—maybe he was bit by a radioactive debatebro—but most mortals need to pick their battles more strategically.
I don't mind engaging even without the audience if someone is directly replying to me. Best case it's an interesting conversation worst case I get to laugh at the idiocy of your average bigot.
🫡 As you were, then.

The radioactive debatebro is my past reddit self... Trying to recover from that, haha.
