Looking forward to coming back in a bit and reading some of the lib-outs in the comment section.
Watering my libs
There’s already one.
lol
That sure didn’t take long.
i sometimes wonder if i sounded like them before i discovered lemmy.
I hope the penalties for cop corruption in China are the same as the ones for politicians.
- In a typical example of proletarian police accountability, the CPC sentences a police officer to death for killing a pregnant woman in a restaurant in southern China.
- Why do Chinese billionaires keep ending up in prison? Why are many billionaires and CEOs going missing? China sentences Ex-Chairman of a major bank, guilty of embezzling ~$100M USD, to death in 2019.
inb4 but muh bourne supremacy
Any informed opinions on whether Chinese people are in general more or less racist than Americans?
🤷 There’s no universal, coherent definition for racism, and if there were, we’d still have to run two very large, expensive research/polling projects. Also these are extremely large populations (on extremely large territories), neither of which is monolithic. Also, how racist a people are doesn’t necessarily align with how racist a state is. In an online forum, it’s the kind of question that mostly just exposes some people’s existing prejudices.
I ask mostly rhetorically to shed light on the idea that state mistreatment of ethnic minorities is a persistent human issue, and that it should be condemned wherever it occurs. The USA’s hands may be uniquely bloodied, but I doubt China’s are squeaky clean. I would expect any state of sufficient size and power to eventually be guilty of this.
I wonder if China’s population is more or less ethnically and culturally homogeneous than that of the USA, and whether this should be considered a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

the defining characteristic(s) of an ethnic minority is a artificial distinction that the culture you exist within conditions you to regard as important and it will be different from one culture to the next.
thanks to colonialism, some of it will have a superficial analogue to your own culture, but the ingrained distinctions stretch back for hundreds to thousands of years longer and most are imperceptible to foreigners; hence the entire “monoculture” assumption by westerners of the (mostly) non-melinated variety.
Lol, another “China good, America bad” post. Classic.
Always followed up with accusations of American/Western indoctrination if you disagree. Bonus points for sinophobia accusation if you say anything bad about China. 🥱
These kinds of maximalist statements you’re making reek of the conservative “I got kicked out just for having a different opinion!”
Like yeah actually if the “anything bad” you say is the same Epstein empire propaganda bullshit meant to justify bombing shitloads of people -like they’re doing right now- then those with a mind and soul will react poorly to that.
Imagine using the term “Epstein empire” while accusing someone else of being subjected to propaganda. 🤣
You’re not actually saying anything, this is just like 3 meaningless internet argument signifiers smashed together with a “definitely not mad” emoji.
It’s an accurate description, cry about it
