    No, I got enough reasonable-looking but ultimately dubious canned responses. It’s weird that drone footage and other videos are enough to convince some people of bad things happening in countries they don’t like while the same level of evidence doesn’t have the same sway for bad things happening in countries they like.

    I get that socialism can’t be perfect in a world so shackled by capitalism. I don’t get why some people convince themselves that China is a perfect example of socialism.

    I’m really not in the mood to watch Very Convinced individuals try to e.g. ridicule violence protest suppression by calling it “tinyman square”.

      This is a lot of unsavoury assumptions you’re making about me and my knowledge of my country that I really don’t appreciate. In future a simple no would suffice.

      So you don’t actually know anything about that issue except the US State Department’s take?

      Or you just really approve of CIA funded color revolutions violently assaulting communists?

              it’s a good role of thumb to assume that all atrocities are real.

              So you believe that Ukraine was committing genocide in Donbas? You believe that Hamas beheaded 40 babies? You believe that South Africa is genociding white people? You believe the Bowling Green massacre happened.

              That’s a fucking terrible rule of thumb.

              You seem to believe that all are but China’s, doesn’t that seem fishy to you?

              Zero people are saying this and you know it you dishonest asshole.
