      “My personal incredulity isn’t enough for you? Well I also have unverified personal anecdotes!”

      Uhuh. You’re also getting schooled by an actual Chinese person elsewhere

        No see his 6 months is worth more than my multiple decades because I accurately called him out on being a chauvinist, orientalist and fascist pig while pointing out the MANY issues with his “ideas” and that makes me “emotional”.

              He just tried to argue that we should take his word on how evil China is because he went there and “learned from natives about what is really going on.”

              Of course that means that he must be believed, the actual “natives” themselves are all brainwashed savages

                I am leaning hard on this being bait but also a lot of people across the western internet seem to genuinely believe a lot of what he says so I’m far from certain.

                    The abortion skyscraper was a new one alongside Starbucks for abortions but outside of that if you told a chat bot to act as a sinophobic debate bro he’s hitting all the old classics of Mao’s big spoon and so on.

                  It’s an incredibly well executed bit if it is one, and the platonic ideal is Poes Law if it isn’t

        You think this angry, name calling, emotional person is schooling me? I’m a progressive on paper, the Bernie Sanders kind and they’re calling me a Nazi. I’m shocked people would give this type of person a second of thought.

        Feel free to ask them about Mao “accidentally” killing 30-50 million people with STARVATION in the name of their oh so beautiful system.

        What about throwing musicians and professors in prison for speaking out against the overbearing government?

        How about Tiananmen Square?

        Does this person even know what these events are? The government actively covers it up to this day. The millennial generation doesn’t even know what these are because it’s forbidden.

          Correct. Are you pro genocide like Bernie too?

            No. That’s why I usually say I’m a progressive on paper, but no modern politician represents that definition despite what they may call themselves. I like that Bernie would invest in the environment and tax the shit out corporations and billionaires though.

                Anonymnity is a primary cause for the higher rate of insults in online comments compared to in-person interactions, driven by the “online disinhibition effect”. This phenomenon, where users feel unchained from typical social standards, leads to increased toxicity, lack of accountability, and dehumanization of others.

                Whatever eats at you, I hope improves. We’re all in this life together.

          Fuck off back to reddit with this debatebro crap. I’m under no obligation to be nice to your racist ass. And why would I be? Multiple people have tried talking to you in good faith and got dismissed them out of hand. I’m not here to debate you, I’m here to tell you to fuck off.

          I’m a progressive on paper, the Bernie Sanders

          So, a capitalist. And you’re expecting communists to give you props for that?

          Feel free to ask them about Mao “accidentally” killing 30-50 million people with STARVATION in the name of their oh so beautiful system. What about throwing musicians and professors in prison for speaking out against the overbearing government? How about Tiananmen Square?

          Lol. I can see why you say you’re only progressive on paper. In practice you’re a standard western Cold War Warrior, repeating far right claims word for word. What argument are you even trying to make? None I suppose, just vomiting out talking points.

          Does this person even know what these events are?

          Yes, you racist fucking vermin.

          The millennial generation doesn’t even know what these are because it’s forbidden.

          Bullshit
