    The fact that some people voted for a basically open fascist because of something happening outside of their country is fucking wild

      I just hate when they say one imperialist colonizer is bad (Israel) yet another good (Russia). Fucking hypocrites don’t actually care about the suffering - just the political wedge they can use.

        I haven’t ever even broached Tibet because I don’t think I could stomach witnessing the ensuing trainwreck of logic.

        It’s just so incredibly intellectually disingenuous. I got in it with one at one point (big mistake on my part) saying that no country or system is perfect, and a meaningful indicator evidencing critical thought is the capacity to criticize your own system. What, in their mind, were the top issues with China?

        1. Too much freedom in the market.
        2. Doesn’t project it’s system outside it’s border enough.

        Ok. I’m talking to a rational actor. Lol.
