The Chinese government is proof that there is no god.

Riiiight, remember the century where Western colonial powers pillaged China and encouraged local civil wars so they could sell arms to both sides? Or the time where Japan invaded and engaged in brutal massacres of civilians that even embarrassed Nazi officials in China? Of course the US history textbooks gloss over that, they don't want to depict the Chinese as victims, but as pure evil commies.

Well, the Chinese were indeed victims then. Just as they are now victims of their own government.

The people terrorized by the British aren't the same people Mao led a hostile takeover of the government with. Those people are still there in power making life terrible for everyone in China.

I think Fenris is a foreign agitator deflecting from China's current atrocities.

---

No response from the international community. People wonder, "how could atrocities such as genocide happened?" yet we're well on the path here and no one is doing anything about it.

---

And why exactly cant we criticize and describe china with negative words without being modded?

No response from the international community.

Also no response for India and their genocide of Kashmir.

I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

Reminds me of that one Mock the Week joke about the year 2025 "What year will black people and white people finally live side-by-side in harmony, in Chinese concentration camps?"

What would Biden do with China?

Biden would call Xi Jinping fat and challenge him to a push-ups contest.

He could win. Trump never would.

Now that you mention it, I cant really think of any nations that have moral authority.

Fiji, maybe?

Well, the looks like the mods are at least consistent in their inaction against posters advocating for extremist ethno-nationalist policy, I give them that much

They are basically in concentration camps with no journalist able to access them. Oh and: https://thediplomat.com/2020/04/china-appointed-to-influential-un-human-rights-council-panel/

This topic is going to be fun for the mods.

Says the White man, LMAO. Do you even speak Chinese? Reading a few CNN articles does not make an expert on China more than the people who lived their for decades, LMAO.

According to who? Most people in today's China are content, with greater social stability and wealth and lower crime rates, and millions of people lifted out of poverty. And the Chinese civil war started because the KMT regime tried to wipe out the Communists, so they fought back, and millions joined them because they're tired of a government that treat rural people like crap. You need to reread your own history books if you think that the US's road to independence wasn't built on the dead bodies of Natives and Blacks.

My dear, rather obstreperous Fenriswolf. Are you a paid propagandist, or do you simply perform the role gratis, out of love for the Communist party?

---

What proxy do you use Fenris?

treewojima posted...

For the record, Fenriswolf rabidly defends the CCP on the Politics board, between posting pro-China topics or fiercely responding to anything deemed critical of the government.

In other words, even when they post something that has the slightest bit of truth, it's always a bad faith tactic.

yeah this. i have also seen them on the PS4 board and i think on the anime board? post any topic about any atrocity china is currently committing and fenriswolf will find it and go "but the US," "you arent chinese you dont know the truth," or "why are you trusting these western media fake news outlets they dont get anything right."

Eh, China is doing horrible things right now to the Uyghurs but youre right in that it is hypocritical of us Americans to act like our government hasnt done things just as bad.

the Chinese civil war was the tipping block of the century of humiliation that was started by the British

Maybe articles like these are written for dumb pleebs and that's why theres no international response? The article itself shows they are sensationalizing the situation by hinting at the facts. We have prisons too, but people here know better if they're referred to as internment camps or reeducation camps. Also, sterilizations happen all over china, they're not specifically targeting the Muslim population. China is scum, but so is the author of the article linked by the tc.

The nukes werent a genocide, potentially a warcrime but not a gencide. Unless you wanna count 9/11 a genocide I guess. Im pretty sure we are allies with Japan and they are Japanese, is tearing down Confedrate statues cultural genocide?

truman was a racist that ordered the nukes against the advice of many senior staff

his own biographer revealed that truman in his later years still called blacks and jews the n and k words. his views of minorites being lesser humans never changed.

Fucked up and wrong.

Yet people who are anti China are frequently pro Israel, a country that did the same thing to Ethiopian women with the same intentions. That's a strange one.

This is a great post. Very interesting that no one has addressed it.

It takes a very specific kind of America-centric worldview to bring up 9/11 when talking about the nuclear bombing of Japan

genocide is a deliberate method to wipe out in totality a specific group of people.

the US wasnt looking to murder every Japanese and wipe them off the face of the earth.

ModLogic posted...

I guess every bomb dropped in war is a genocide then if you're going to stretch the definition that far.

The bomb was dropped for multiple reasons (end the war quickly, save allied and Japanese lives, intimidate the Soviet Union). The United States did not have a policy of extermination of the Japanese.

that's what american history claims anyway. so we are willing to give the racist Truman the benefit of the doubt.
