Black people (and maybe others) get radicalized by the Boondocks

white people see Uncle Ruckus and laugh at him while tacitly agreeing

ALL POLITICS, NO EXCEPTIONS

Edit: actually I’m not done…Like seriously: its revealed to me a level of propaganda that’s making me actively question how much of what I believe to be valid criticisms of China I believe for reasons that are complete bullshit.

Everything you learn is anglo, western, and above all WHITE propaganda. Not just about China.

China had the best response. The US hid it for far longer on its navy ships, military bases, etc

POC are routinely not awarded credit for their discoveries/inventions. Look up Shibasaburo and Yersinia pestis.
Or just think about the Indian numerals you use, the first iron metallurgy being in Africa, etc.

Rhinos, elephants, and other African/Indian megafauna experienced 90% of their decline under white rule.

US white settlers were calling themselves “Native Americans” in the 1800s, to foster a sense of nativity. Thus “American Indian” is actually an old racial slur that has simply reached such normative levels that the originally oppressed have just come to accept it.
Similar stories with other redefined racial terms like “Caucasian” and “Aryan”, redefined to assuage white insecurity.

Vikings are just a meme because the Swedes were butthurt about losing Finland. The meme started 2 years after they lost the Finnish war.

The American bison went basically extinct because US whites shot them all to starve the Plains Americans. Even today, all bison are mixed with cattle genes.

Europe is not a continent. It’s just Northwest Asia.

White people are mixed race. (Yamnaya, Early farmers from Anatolia, Uralics etc)

Light skin, and also Brown eyes, are a Middle Eastern feature.

etc.

It’s literally every single thing that you are ever taught, and I can’t overemphasize how NON-hyperbolic I’m being right now. Everything you hear, be it from a history book or just people chatting, is laced with lies, spins, and omissions to look a certain way, and even the well-meaning people will repeat these lies because there are so fucking many of them, they’re like bacteria. You won’t learn reality unless you go looking for it yourself.

I see your point, but when you’re exposed to the sheer amount of hypocrisy/violence and reality-denial of white westerners, it becomes hard to suppress the amygdala. That’s just how humans work. Not reacting emotionally takes energy.

Eventually that energy budget is surpassed and “China good no matter what” because fuck it, 99% of the world is shitting putrid diarrhea out of their mouths anyway. They go low, you eventually go low as well, or else you will be driven insane. For the record, that’s where I stand, both on a rational level and when I feel outburst-y.

Otherwise it’s too close for comfort to the “shut up and vote for the lesser evil” rhetoric that stifles any analysis and debate.

this is a false equivalence, it assumes every lesser evil is lesser by the same amount.

Biden is barely better than trump. The only way he’s better is he says less overt dogwhistle racist shit. Harris is just as bad. Biden would be as bad if not worse globally.

China on the other hand, is leagues and leagues and leagues better than the west. And no, the US is not the analogy to China, but rather the entire west. The US is just a small fraction of the west, which population-wise is equivalent to China.

The west administered a continental-scale genocide on hundreds of millions of Americans. They emitted 90% of our current CO2 burden. They committed 95% of animal extinctions/declines of the last century. They starved 100,000,000+ across Africa and India and SEAsia, and are responsible for the early deaths of billions of people suffering the effects of colonialism to this day. The west owns 60% of world GDP, China owns 15%.

Now contrast with China’s crimes, which are…they might be putting 1,000s of Uyghurs in reeducation camps, at least if you believe the nazi cryptofascist Zenz who is the sole source of this entire rumor. So we have thousands as opposed to BILLIONS, being reeducated as opposed to EXTERMINATED, and even this comparatively benign accusation comes from a literal fascist nazi who unironically believes that white Jesus will magically pop out of Krakatoa and smite the CCP–meaning it’s probably bullshit.

China is MULTIPLE orders of magnitude preferable to and more blameless than the west. It’s the same as comparing Jeff Bezos+BillGates+Musk to an office worker who makes $50k. Sure, you can be critical of the office worker because he lives in a nice-ish house, or eats steak, but this issue literally could not fucking matter in any conceivable way whatsoever when compared to the scale of what’s happening above it.

Is it genocide if you off all redditors?

i dont care about your opinion on China if you are a westerner

You made a mild error, sorry

Honestly…why shouldn’t they?

What’s the point in being critical of China when the entire apparatus and society around you is quadrupling down on that effort?

You can be neutral if you want. Just remember that if 95% of the population has an opinion value of -50, and you have a neutral “I’m so enlightened and criticize everything” value of 0, the average isn’t 0. Instead it ends up being -49. (and that’s generous, since way less than 5% of the population actually has fair views on China)

“Hitler is evil” is true but it’s also a way for white colonialists to wash their hands

Same as how Americans blame everything on “alabama” or “mississippi” when it’s really fundamental to white Americans in general.

If you just pile the blame on that one guy, you can paint yourself as acceptable

I was thinking, in the same vein of the “it’s currently 5:32 in Moscow”,

Maybe have something like “the Chinese military currently has 2340983 Black people in cages” (or Iraqis dead, or babies in cages, or you get the idea)

more 👏 autistic 👏 officers 👏 murdering 👏 unarmed 👏 non-white 👏 people 😃

But what I’d ask is this: Is using intelligence based insults (and other ableist language as you mentioned) productive? Does it allow for uniquely powerful rhetorical uses?

Yes, it releases stress (which allows for clearer thinking) and insults chuds in a language they understand
so fuck off, stupid
