I'm clearly not talking bout capitalism but bout democracy and human rights breh..

bro america aint a democracy every1 in government is either a millionare or a billionare who serves capital

the us has poltiical prisoners look at the black panthers; look at gauntanamo bay

look at the mass surveillance program PRISM

like i get wat ur sayin bro but read a book instead of spouting some cnn headline acting like it is your critical thought

human rights and democracy is a dogwhistle phrase

read democracy for the few by michael parenti, great book

The stereotype about Chinese people is that they are dirty, their restaurants ignore hygienic practices, and that their construction work is shoddy. This line of thinking directly informs the lab leak conspiracy.

Thinking of a government as powerful as the Chinese government as potentially being dangerous isn’t the same as viewing Chinese people as dirty rats

Example, I think the North Korean government is dangerous, but I don’t think the people of North Korea are dangerous.

Lol Xi Jinping isn't going to stop you from gorging yourself on fast food and melting your brain on Netflix original series'

Everyone should. Whole UN Security Council is trash

go ahead and tell us why the north korean government is dangerous

What are you talking about? I don’t want a war with China and I don’t think any war the us had launched since ww2 (except maybe Kosovo/Bosnia) was worth even fighting

That’s... not really anything that’s crossed my mind or even been a consideration here for me? Lol I haven’t seen anybody suggest that as the reasoning. The reasoning most people I’ve seen think it’s a possibility is that the only known bat colony that carries COVID is located a thousand miles away from ground zero of the outbreak, but the lab that studies bat COVID strains that had multiple employees go to the hospital in November 2019 is located in ground zero.

none of those things are present in the american way of life

Lmaooo of course you defend the North Korean government too

Nah go ahead and elaborate. How are they dangerous

Maybe weirdos on Twitter are being genocidal, but aside from the odd psycho, most people here are explicitly against the Chinese government

They can take hold of TSMC and stop a lot of modern tech in the world tho

Funny thing is i'm not American and i know the USA isn't an ideal place to live in... I know the influence of rich people and corporate lobbyists is crazy over there... but does that make China less dangerous for the (Western) world tho?

if you live in western europe same s*** applies just different instances of the same thing

no and its a good thing. china is a good thing for the global south and therefore for humanity

In what way, shape or form? Like I don’t think it’s keeping Africa poor, but I don’t think the west is either. They both do the same thing in buying resources from poor countries, big difference is China doesn’t care if a country pretends to act nice

Racism operates on unspoken assumptions and affects everyone subconsciously

The pandemic has been the greatest gift to the U.S security apparatus because they've wanted a cold war with China for so long and this provides the perfect impetus, because now they have something tangible that people can be angry about. We saw how people jumped on the "wet market" story because it confirms everything people believe about the Chinese.

People are completely ignoring the fact that COVID19 samples were discovered in Italy and Spain in early 2019:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7428442

reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-spain-science-idUSKBN23X2HQ

and what if Chinese people support their government?

I could, however, I’ve had about 25 discussions with you on here and it always ends up with me typing out a lot of stuff and you just saying “nuh uh” while acting incredibly intelligent while never explaining your line of thinking, so it’s kinda pointless to continue

Look no further than this very thread 2 pages ago

Thats where we disagree then. The USA, Europe and China f*** over the global south, but you think China has an amazing government and they're good for humanity

Haven’t heard the Italy and Spain thing, weird it hasn’t gotten any media attention. Gonna look more into that

this thread title brazy bro, chill
