Xi? Have you been to China? They have affordable housing, Healthcare, education and transportation. They have less people in prison per capita than the United States.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Ah, and there it is.

Just kinda sorta kicking the brutal mistreatment of Uyghurs, Tibetans, or Tienamen under the rug conveniently, I see, eh? Do you enjoy the attempted imperial conquest of Taiwan China is obviously partaking in? What are labor conditions like there? How do you like those child sweat shops? Do you like that China gets to censor images like Xi as Winnie the Pooh? I guess I shouldn't be surprised one who endorses authoritarianism over democratic principles, though. Not exactly free and transparent journalism there when anyone who opposes the CCP get disappeared conveniently, now is it? And how do you like that China is actively funneling weapons and mercenaries to Russia to use in imperial conquest and murder of women and children in Ukraine? Tell me, who are you sincerely believing in acknowledging the number of prison people per capita than the US, and what are the comparative living conditions of those prisons compared to the USA? As China goes full-steam on industrialization and capitalism, their pollution rates are significantly worse than USA as well in terms of concerns for climate change.

Also I noticed you dodged the entire rest of my comment, so please acknowledge this fact: Trump already killed more children than Obama and Biden combined over 12 years with his cuts to USAID, WHO, and Paris Climate Accords alone, leaving aside the 40% excess covid deaths peer reviewed scientific studies indicate from his disastrous covid pandemic response but keep telling yourself this false equivalence lie.

God, libslop like this is so fucking funny to read.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (20 children)

libslop.

What influencer trained you to say this?

[–] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

The usage of the suffix -slop is well entrenched in modern English, I don't even watch "influencers."

Not even lib but nice try, little buddy lol. Your pretentious ad hominem deflections precede your actual knowledge and understanding.

[–] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait so you're a non liberal that regurgitates lib talking points? You don't even know what an ad hominem is, obviously, so I guess I'd say your lashing out "precedes your actual knowledge and understanding."

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Wait so you’re a non liberal that regurgitates ~~lib talking points~~ irrefutable facts?

FTFY. Easily-caught Circular Reasoning Fallacy. Be better, kiddo!

[–] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah baby, irrefutable facts that China is imperialist with their... not invading even land they consider their own [Taiwan] for 50 years. Very strong imperialist tendencies there.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's not imperialism if China does it.

Okay, baby.

Funny, I hear the same arguments of "their own land" Israel claims over Palestine if you go back far enough to the Semitic speaking Canaanites, or to the Balfour Declaration -- not that I agree with this, but to point out your own hypocrisy -- I bet you'll claim that's different.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You realize that China is currently NOT invading "land they consider their own" right? They've literally vowed peaceful reunification, but I bet your tv didn't tell you that, lol.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh well then if CCP says it, it must be true is that right good citizen Think you've got that, "actions speak louder than words" thing backwards, buddy lol.

Don't forget to pick up that can.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay then, which actions have they taken in regards to militarily taking Taiwan?

Don’t forget to pick up that can.

No clue what this means, but if it's anything like your other comments, I'm gonna assume it's either racist or bigoted.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I just showed you. Russia did the same crap before invading Ukraine, or do you have those pesky blinders on when it's Eastern countries waging imperialism...?

Alternatively: Will you condemn China if they engage in any sort of provocative military action against Taiwan?

I'm gonna assume it's either racist or bigoted.

"no u"

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

So just a gut feeling? Guess time will tell us who's right.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Parroting western propaganda that has been debunked thoroughly isn't the gotcha that you think it is. What does the United Nations say about the treatment of the Uyghurs? Surely there must be some evidence other than Adrian zenz' testimony?

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Name one of those issues the Unites States doesn't have in spades. 🙄

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Really, is Whataboutism the best you've got? 🙄

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Your comment made the comparison between China and the United States bud. It's not whataboutism just because I'm challenging you on it. You opened it up for discussion. 🤷‍♂️

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Actually that's incorrect. If you go back far enough, you'll find I was primarily comparing Biden and Obama to Trump. Then you hyper-fixated strangely on my second brief question regarding your opinion of Xi and Putin, which was a bait that you fell for. Thank you for that.

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

🙄

It's shocking to me how much ego liberals have while getting absolutely spanked by Trump and MAGA.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This fantasy liberal sure would be upset if he wasn't a straw-man you were attacking. 🙄🙄🙄

[–] Herr_S_aus_H@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Don't mention the Uyghurs around tankies. At least if you want to keep your sanity and/or believe in the inherent goodness of people.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You know what rattles my belief in humanity? Supposed leftists regurgitating capitalist propaganda because they are afraid of being labeled a “genocide-denier” without even doing the research to see if the claim that there is no genocide in Xinjiang holds any water.

If you agree that capitalism is bad and that capitalist media exists to uphold the status quo, why do you just blindly trust the capitalists when they say there is a genocide? Especially when they deny the genocide in Gaza that is literally being televised every day. Obviously capitalist media cannot be relied upon for the truth.

Anyway, here’s some reading if you want to break out of the capitalist media bubble and start thinking for yourself: https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang

Keeping all the liberL bullshit you vommited about PRC aside (I dont like the PRC for being revisionist)

Killing children is not a contest that makes biden and obama accepatable, hope that helps and lessens your bloodthirst

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Keep attacking strawman while purporting a false equivalence fallacy. Golly how I dream to live in your utopian fantasy-land of purity tests.

[–] Tolc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not killing children is not utopian or purity testing, its question of basic humanity. The GOP and democrats differ almost on nothing except the cutlure war.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm in agreement but tell that to the dead Children of Ukraine, whose weapons supplies and troops used by Russia originate from China, buddy.

Democrats harm less children than GOP. I already proved that without any refutation whatsoever. Harming fewer children = better.

[–] Tolc@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

And Xi harms less children even than the democrats so he is good.
