It does seem a bit unfair to include them and not India

As an Indian young adult not too invested in politics, may I please learn why and "what"?

[–] compast@lemmy.zip 1 points 59 minutes ago

As an Indian, I'd say kashmir

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago

You know I actually thought about that afterwards.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 8 hours ago

Imagine asking this with a straight face.

Aside from all the politic shit. They tried to end my existence via the enforcement of the One Child Policy. I was the 2nd child in my family, they nearly ended me.

Thank god I got lucky and somehow lived.

Not the user you responded to, but I got a vendetta against PRC, it's personal.

[–] compast@lemmy.zip 1 points 58 minutes ago

Well by that logic millions have been killed by the civilization you yearn for

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 hours ago

I thought the penalty was a fine?

[–] plyth@feddit.org -2 points 7 hours ago

The west does the same. They don't call it one child policy but rent.

In your opinion, what would have been the alternative? A bigger population would have made it much more difficult for China to achieve food security.

Oh, like kill 50 million + citizens through internal war and poor planning.

Take away individual liberties and develop the most insane surveillance culture in the world.

Commit to a slow burn genocide of Muslims.

Pump out more billionaires than the US for the last two years while massively increasing the income gap.

They did raise hundreds of millions of people out of abject poverty so you have got to give them that. But then immediately take it away when you learn they are the fourth/fifth largest supplier of arms in the world.

kill 50 million

fake number, completely made up

Take away individual liberties

Every western nation does that, not every culture has same idea of democracy and freedom. Stop imposing western liberal views on everyone.

Commit to a slow burn genocide of Muslims.

Even CIA denys that

Pump out more billionaires than the US for the last two years while massively increasing the income gap.

Valid

they are the fourth/fifth largest supplier of arms in the world.

They are second largest economy, so makes sense

Oh look someone who denies the enormous of life.

The CIA doesn't give a shit about Genocide. This has been detailed by Amnesty International and other human rights groups and researchers since the concentration camps began.

I wont take western sources about china seriously and wikipedia is a fucking joke, regards. Human right groups are built up to sustain capitalist structure and spread liberal propaganda.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 38 minutes ago (1 children)

Found the human right's abuser.

[–] compast@lemmy.zip 1 points 31 minutes ago

Says the one whose entire ideology is built upon exploiting "human rights" of workers, lol.

Not to my knowledge, but I’m sure they’d like to and don’t recognize Taiwan as separate from China.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Call me crazy, but that doesn't feel as bad as

  • invading Ukraine
  • invading Iraq twice, bombing Iran, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, bombing Yugoslavia, arming a genocide in Guatemala, invading Afghanistan, invading Vietnam, bombing Cambodia and Laos, funding a genocide in Indonesia, funding a genocide in East Timor, funding a genocide in Gaza
  • invading all your neighbors all the time

Third one is Israel, got lazy.

[–] encelado748@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

You got also lazy with Russia. That list should have been as long as the US one

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe -1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, they just focus on the countries next to them mostly (and even then there's been sponsored shit stirring in Africa, too)

[–] Linken@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I definitely think you’re right in that there are degrees to the evil these countries are perpetrating on the innocent.

I feel like the OP was just saying fuck X country who does evil, which is far from the complete list, haha.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

If that the case let's look who vote with evil things in the UN it's a clear record where countries stand. This will put UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Canada, Australia, India, Argentina at the top of the list.

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 15 hours ago

Well, China didn't invade anyone in the last decade because they've already annexed the territories they wanted. It's not like Uyghurs and Tibetans stopped getting genocided because their territories are already internationally recognised as part of the PRC.

And they do fund multiple conflicts outside of their own country, like the aforementioned invasion of Ukraine.
