Comment on It really is like this
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 hours agoyou believe because you fundamentally believe Chinese people are different than you.
??? Fascist government vs democracy (fingers crossed we stay one) and you think there isn’t a difference? Man you’ve been swallowing some serious propaganda. It’s not about the people, it’s about the government.
You’ll find this in every country
No, you won’t. It’s a different system. I’m not going to say it’s a worse system, because it’s not really, it’s just a different system. But you need to recognize that it is substantially different. A lease is different from pure ownership. There’s a lot less guarantees involved.

By no definition of fascism is China fascist. Reread your Eco.
The government is the people. A fifth of the Chinese public are cpc members. It costs nothing to join, there are no requirements besides being a citizen and not being a convicted traitor. Anyone can join and start voting and participating.
And again, no, it’s not a different system. I get that you’re angry you’ll never own your home in the US, whereas 92% of Chinese adults over 21 own their own home, but that doesn’t change reality. The ‘lease’ is that your land is under the Chinese government, not the US government or Russians government, and thus subject to the laws in China and can be revoked if you use your land in a revolution against China.
Every single country on earth has this clause. Every single one. China assigns it per feed, rather than an overarching law, because of the autonomous districts that have different leases, like Tibet or Xinjiang.

It’s clear you’ve been extensively propagandized to think china isn’t fascist. I’m not sure if I can discuss with someone who cannot see how their own country is run …
The government is not the people .
… I’m on track to get one in 2 years.
…no

And you call me propagandized… No, people in jail aren’t disappeared because they lost their right to talk to the press. No, there is not a global network of secret police arresting Chinese people. No, China is not alone in blocking travel to their country for hate speech or other bigotry.
If you believe these things, and you seriously see no problem with them, you aren’t able to speak on politics. It’d be like discussing consent with a Mormon or physics with a flat earther… I mean seriously, a global network of secret police stations in other countries? Complete control of the speech of 1,400,000,000 humans?
This is as ridiculous as the ‘Jewish new world order’ stuff a lot of you people believe

…no one ever said complete. You’re intentionally exaggerating my statements into thing that are not to make them so more unrealistic than they actually are. I know your type.
Like this. Changing what I said into something else.
I’m calling you propagandized because you’re going to deny the oppression of the uyghurs in your country. You’re also just outright ignoring what happened in hong kong.
China is NOT the same.
