    Lol, so you don’t understand the first thing about how China’s government works, and you take everything the US State Department and billionaire-owned media say at face value. That says a lot about you, but not much about material conditions in China.

    The only freedom China lacks is the “freedom” to be a lazy parasite getting fat off the labor of others. But I can see why that would be concerning if you take the Epstein class and their pet “journalists” seriously when they assert that the freedom to exploit is the only real kind of freedom so obviously China’s an authoritarian hellhole.

      I’m not taking that from the U.S. I’m just being consistent. The U.S. is good? Hell no, they’re fucking shit. That means that China’s good, automatically? Not, they’re fucking shit too. It’s as simple as that, I hate both because they’re simply the polar opposite of good.

        If you say China is bad too, but you can’t provide any source for “China Bad” other than the US State Department and Billionaire-owned media, then you clearly don’t think China is bad “too” because you’re happy to take the word of the US that China is bad.

        I genuinely don’t believe you know even the most basic things about how China’s government is organized and who gets a say. I say that because you obviously don’t even know the name of the single party when you whine about it being a single party state, and because you think that them being a single party state has any bearing on how their government is organized or the amount of freedom enjoyed by their citizens.

        Maybe start with that and come back when you know anyfuckingthing at all about the subject under discussion.

          I have explained everything with a lot more details in other comments. Read them before you hastily conclude that I don’t know what I’m talking about, because I’m not gonna repeat myself again and again to people that polarized; you’re falling into a non-sequitur fallacy from a fallacy of appeal to ignorance and a fallacy of the straw man.

            Doesn’t seem to be showing in your profile, got a link?

            Read them before you hastily conclude that I don’t know what I’m talking about

            It wasn’t that hasty, you made it pretty obvious, but I still waited til you removed all doubt.

            you’re falling into a non-sequitur fallacy from a fallacy of appeal to ignorance and a fallacy of the straw man.

            And now I’m starting to think you don’t know what any of those things mean either, since none of them apply here. But when you come back with that link that totally exists that shows you’ve ever demonstrated a single bit of knowledge about China’s government, you can also explain how anything I said meets the definition of those fallacies, and we can all have a good laugh.
