This is some “people aren’t choosing healthy food, so raise the taxes on sugar” shit.

How about building a society and economy where having children doesn’t feel like an overwhelming detriment to the parent’s and child’s well-being?

I got curious and started Googling. Apparently China has VERY recently created a subsidy for parents, and finally begun creating support for early childhood care centers, which have traditionally been apparently prohibitively expensive due to privatization (In MY “Communist” China?). It’s good to see there is some actual social progress being implement alongside the hair-brained capitalist schemes that only serve to do harm to the poorest classes. But hey, fuck the points if it keeps the economy going, right?

The only war is class war.

And yet, you play the role of Chinese-MAGA. It’s unfortunate that the irony is lost on you.

C’mon man, there’s a lot of things to be said for how braindead of a take OP’s is, but throwing slurs around isn’t the play either.

Or, think about it this way: suggesting they were born facing serious mental and intellectual struggles is excusing their behaviour. This isn’t something they did because they were born unlucky. It’s a choice they made. They should have to own that, and we should hold them accountable as best as we can.

It’s about time for the Imperialists to start this again, I see.

Oh, absolutely, World News is filled with people praising the west for cracking down on protests, they’re clearly very pro-government.

/s and fuck off with your nonsense. This place is incredibly critical of basically every decision a major government makes.

What? China acting like an Imperialist Dictstorship? But that’s only something that happens in disgusting capitalist Western nations, never in glorious, Communist China!

/s, before I’m mistaken for one of the Tankies that are, I am sure, about to blow up this thread.

Not gonna lie, “Treaty of Verseye” sent me.

You’re saying Marx while advocating for a Stalin-style dictatorship. Any proletariat uprising that depends on a separate class to perform in any position of dictatorship is a fascist - as was the case with Russia - or capitalist - as in China - regime in disguise.

I have never claimed to support any form of liberalism. That was a stance you imposed on me when I attacked your politics.

But, I digress, you kept it civil, I’ll take the opportunity to flip my attitude and do the same. While I still do not respect your politics, everyone deserves proper care, and everyone deserves to rest. I genuinely do hope you heal well.

So you agree? Xi Jiping is a dictator?

My friend, if you think dictatorship is a progressive step towards communism, I have a bridge you can hand ownership of to the state.

For someone who wants to try and play semantics, you’re quite quick to throw yourself, and your argument, under the bus. Perhaps pick a game you’re good at. You’re embarrassing your glorious leader over here.

Of course I’m angry. Tankies defending a state-capitalist autocracy pisses me off, as it should any rational, progressive human being. The “Internet tough-guy calling people angry” schtick doesn’t dissuade china’s aggression to the sovereign nation of Taiwan, un-genocide any Ugyhur lives, or free China’s “totally not homeless” population out of the concentration camps the state uses to hold up their economy. My anger is well directed, and your attempt to belittle that isn’t the “own” that you and your fascist ilk seem to believe it is.

Fuck the States. This thread isn’t about them, their history of racism, or their rapid descent into fascism. This thread is about China disappearing a dissenter for “reeducation,” and this conversation is about how you’re a fresh account, happy to dismiss any criticism of your glorious fascist state as “American propaganda” with no logic other than “they said stuff I don’t like so it must be an American psyop.” No amount of whataboutism will change that you’re a dishonest actor, openly mocking one imperialist nation, while shilling for another.

Account created one week ago and has literally only ever bothered to post in a thread that calls out fascist China for doing horrible fascist things?

Which one of you hexbear, .ml fake-ass leftist nutjobs is hiding behind this account?

“You can have peace. Just surrender to our rule!”

Reminder that bullying exists from the school yard all the way to international politics.

“quiet piggy” is unacceptable, but the country was totally chill with “grab her by the pussy,” or mocking a disabled reporter.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad America seems to be waking up, but c’mon. If this bothers you, but the previous incidents didn’t, maybe you should be re-evaluating your opinions.

So, they’ve been doctored and/or redacted to the point of not saying anything. There’s no way this sudden, absurd 180 isn’t a direct result of some degree of ratfucking.

“Trump blew Clinton” led to it talking about how he “blew Clinton away at the polls in 2016.” Every additional layer of specifity leads to another slight diversion. Adding “Bill Clinton” caused it to recognize that this is in the news right now, but it’s definitely not true because Bubba isn’t Bill Clinton. Telling it that Bubba is Bill’s known nickname caused it to agree that this is true, but Epstein said that “Bubba doesn’t refer to Bill Clinton.” (Epstein is commenting on these emails post-mortem? Maybe I missed something here.) Telling it that Epstein is a known pedophile sex trafficker with ties to these men and reason to lie caused it to admit that Epstein isn’t a reliable source for this, and it tried to dismiss the validity of the emails altogether as “contextually untrustworthy.” I then told it that a known pedophile discussing his practices in a believed to be private email thread is a reasonable context to consider the validity of his statements, but it was tired of me, and went “here are some more links on the subject. Any additional messages with start a new conversation.” This could normal after being 5-6 messages deep with this AI; I had literally never used it before to know, but it felt weird to me.

It is weirdly defensive about the possibility that this had taken place, actively omitting details to bias weird takes.

For extra fun, try posing the statement to Google’s AI mode and watch it try to pretend this isn’t in the news right now, and then make up lies to protect Trump, until it realizes it can’t a suddenly kills the conversation.

I’m not convinced it is obviously a joke. It would explain a LOT.
