      I would say that culturally erasing a nation’s foundational and ongoing genocide is a lot worse than even the liberal fantasy of “no one in China can talk about when a few thousand people died”. I would even say that trying to draw an equivalency is a form of genocide denial.

        I’m not denying anything bad happened here. It’s bad to cause a genocide from either party. It’s bad to for the US to have stolen land from the Native Americans, forcing them to relocate in shitty places, and systematically destroy their culture through isolation and cheap alcohol.

        It’s bad to force Uyghurs into “re education camps” to erase their culture and harvest their organs.

        It’s bad for the US to have squashed protests about the Vietnam War in front of the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention.

        It’s bad for the CCP to have squashed calls for democracy and freedom of speech in Tiananmen Square.

        It’s almost like people in power do shitty things regardless of the type of government.

          jfc the organ harvesting is just made up Falun Gong shit. Even the China Bad people tend to avoid citing that since it’s so obviously just pulled out of thin air.

          Erasing islamic extremism in a non-violent way is good actually. The method the west uses is to simply to try to exterminate islamic extremism, which has not worked a single time.

          harvest their organs.

          This is propaganda from Falun Gong, a literal cult. They believe their religion makes them healthier, and that by extension they have the juiciest organs in the world. They spread organ harvesting bs for the purposes of religious recruitment.

          It’s bad for the CCP to have squashed calls for democracy and freedom of speech in Tiananmen Square.

          It’s bad and regrettable that the US tried to stir a colour revolution through the legitimate issues that some people had at this time. It’s not bad that such a revolution was prevented. It would have led to exactly the same outcome as the soviet bloc had in the 90s when capitalism was undemocratically forced on its populations.

          Oh god not this crap. Hexbear is generally pretty reactionary when it comes to China, but this too much even for me… no sources cited in that first one, nice.
