    In America police violence is shown on tv and presented as a good thing actually, in china it’s not on tv.

      And if you talk about police violence in China the police come to your house and tell you to stop.

      If you don’t stop you and your family dissappear.

      We still have police in vans running around executing people with guns. I think we should really stop splitting hairs and just settle on both police forces being authoritarian death cultists.

    “OUR fair and just police vs THEIR brutal murderer cops”

    They should learn that ACAB means “ALL cops are bastards”, not “All cops in the US and not my beloved infallible glorious prc”

      I vote for politicians that want certain laws.

      Those laws become fact. Cops enforce them.

      Why would they be a bastard?

      I’mma be honest. I have never had a single interaction with a cop in Belgium. They just walk around sometimes.

        Generally it would be when they choose to selectively enforce those laws to unjustly do things to people they don’t like.

        If that doesn’t happen where you are, count yourself very, very lucky.

          They can’t do that when those laws don’t exist to begin with.

          People are pretty protected. But now this issue:

          E bikes have been surging the country, theft has increased as well. These bikes have a tracker in them.

          It locates into a certain neighbourhood, later on it will be more precise.

          But people can just deny entrance, so cops (along with the owner) can’t just go and look around.

          Now, this is pretty digitalised eh, the tracker from a third party shows the bike is there. So the owner would really like it if they could just get the bike for him.

          I would vote so that they can just go grab these bikes. Get it over with. Cops entering homes wouldn’t be bastards then.

          Obvious issue: can just put a stolen bike in the neighborhood, have citizen give permission to look for the stolen bike quickly. They enter the house. Plant some evidence. Blablabla.

          But still, I want e bikes to be promoted. Theft to be lowered. There need to be solutions.

    honestly im glad someone has called it out, the US is BAD and China is also BAD but with highspeed rail and some better ideas along the way which is tbf GOOD. and if we are criticising everyone i want to know why rent and housing is so unaffordable in most of europe and why landleeches can reap. i also want to know why the hell life is worse for women in so many countries, looking at you india, iran and others. problems dont go away because u ignore them and yes sometimes less bad or least worst is progress too but we must strive for the best hard enough that if we fail to hit it we achieve at least good.

    Is this a sub dedicated to hand-wringing over tankies and sinoapologists?

      I’d characterize it as spotlighting, calling out, and lambasting rather than hand-wringing, but yes. From the community info:

      Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!

        Why don’t you do something productive with your time, like attacking nazis or fascists instead of the few people that are actually working on making the US more socialist and equitable.

          Pro-authoritarian people should never be ceded credibility, given a platform, or shown anything other than disrespect.

          There’s no such thing as a good person who supports the oppression of others

          What do you think tankies are?

          They are just as much fan of authoritarian police states as nazis.

          “few people that are actually working on making the US more socialist and equitable.”

          actually got a good chuckle out of that line. i hope you don’t genuinely believe that
