    You can call it “nuance” all you want, it doesn’t change that such a critical stance is always rooted in state department propaganda.

    Western “leftists” trust imperialists more than foreign PoC, which surprises nobody.

      So instead, we should trust… The other ogliarchic and blatantly fascist empires?

      Call me crazy, but I don’t think unapologetic fascism is “leftist.”

        Why do you believe the US and anglophone-media when they demonize their main enemies, and say that they’re no different? You should take anything a serial liar says with an extreme grain of salt.

            Then how did you come by that particular conclusion? Because if it’s not just out and out racism, surely you can link it to verify it’s not just a State Department proxy going “Anonymous sources confirm ALL minorities in China being tortured right the fuck now”

          I heard this like a decade ago, but it’s still is spot on:

          Question: What’s authoritarianism?

          Answer: When you tell white people they can’t do imperialism.
