Sad
Watching liberals heads spin when I tell them China has a higher life expectancy and literacy rate than the United States is a good time.
You just get some kind of denialist response. “Oh, you can’t trust anything China puts out.” / “Its all just indoctrination, they’re not allowed to read anything the government doesn’t like” / “Actually this doesn’t include all the people the Communist Party imprisons and starves.” / “When I was in China, everyone was miserable and sad and poor and locked in their basements by the evil COVID police.”
Is this China in the room with you right now?
China has been heavily propagandized against since the earliest days. Saying anything good about the country is taboo in political discourse. The Soviets went through it as well.
Not related to fetterman but unironically the I have found that the irl conversations where mosts people get on board with leftists ideas are those where someone frames them in an anti China way
“The workers need to take control of the means of production before China takes them from us”
I dont say I suport it but I have seen it too many times to be a coincidence
yeah, exactly. no “compromises” can be made on this shit. There should be no throwing other nationalities, ethnicities, etc. under the bus to “fool” people into socialism. That’s not how it works.
