Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it’s bots or wumao. Human beings can’t possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

    Yeah, that was the brain-dead response I expected.

      You’re accusing other people of being brain dead and yet you just regurgitate an understanding that reflects an exclusively mass media understanding of the situation.

      You bring up the uyghers as if the "evidence " on this front is something to be taken seriously… When it’s all sourced from the same german Catholic extremist who doesn’t speak uygher or Mandarin.

      As if the Americans didn’t just spend the last 2 decades marauding around the world droning weddings, demolishing infrastructure, and protecting opium fields.

      Why do you expect that people believe that the collective west suddenly decided to start caring about Muslim life, the last time that happened was Kosovo and we all know how that ended.

      Lacking LQBTQ rights

      The US “legalized” gay marriage like 8 years ago and if you think that’s where rights for LGBT people begin or end you’re either extremely gullible and genuinely uninformed or selling something. In any case you’re pinkwashing the soul harvester to justify empire.

      That doesn’t help the people you think it does, if anything it provides a cover for bigots to target LGBT people under the guise of anti-imperialism.
