The Chinese government has in recent years established many concentration camps in Xinjiang, or in their term, “vocational re-education and training centers”, for imprisoning local ethnic minorities and dissidents. Unlike regular imprisonment or detention, people are held here without any prior court trial The period of their imprisonment is no longer determined by courts but becomes endless.

          The problem is, whether true or not it is irrelevant. If we talk about China’s despotism, the propagandists can only seek a diversion because they don’t have a way to defend the immoral actions of the Chinese state, so it’s all, “Look at that man over there!” It’s childish and it works on idiots, of course.

        There’s nothing to defend in China, only brainswashed Americans who guzzle propaganda all day think that China is the problem when their own shithole country is destroying the whole world. America will always build a better idiot.

                    Yeah, one of us has actual experience living in a communist country and the other is an ignoramus with opinions that can be safely discarded.

                  Do you wanna come back to times when people were thrown to gulags, breaking human rights and censorship spread on every corner?

                    do you honestly think putin’s russia is better than the country that defeated the Nazis, legalized abortion first, and sent the first people and objects into space?

                    I want to return to the times when everyone had food, housing, education, and jobs guaranteed. I want to return to a time when nobody worried about losing their jobs and living on the street. The time when nobody worried whether they could retire in dignity.

                    Meanwhile, US right now holds over 20% of world’s prison population. That’s incarceration rate higher than USSR had under Stalin. US prison labor is also used as literal slave labor. US has more gulags than USSR ever did you ignoramus.

                    And as Chomsky explains. US is living under a totalitarian culture much worse than Soviet Union. Soviet Russia could access BBC, Voice of America, German TV. Today Americans are not permitted to hear what Russians are saying. The US has imposed constraints on access to info beyond Soviets.

                    And this level of censorship produces ignoramuses such as yourself.
