I’m glad you bolded that sentence. It’s important to establish that China bad because they help other nations with technology.

When the US calls Chinese technology “censorship and surveillance” you know it’s some good shit they haven’t yet figured out how to conquer in the name of capitalism.
Here’s a fact: to exist on the world stage with the US, proactive measures must be enacted. To fight back against US digital hegemony is a far cry from censorship. It’s a responsible stance.

The fact that anyone could think the flavor of authoritarian dick to suck is what matters. Rather than, you know,; admonishing both as they deserve. Never ceases to baffle.

Never ceases to baffle.
There’s a cure for this confusion. Read Marxist theory.

Wow, yeah, the Israel connection sure does suck. China is bad because of how close they are to Israel. Of course.
Wait.
Aria@lemmygrad.ml 1 day ago
That’s such a tenuous connection. Why are you highlighting this? Those are off the shelf cameras, everyone uses them, because they are cheap. China isn’t unique in not sanctioning Israel. They absolutely should. But you may just as well focus on the use of Microsoft Windows or who their Ethernet cable supplier is.

Lmao
This is like saying “it’s important to establish that ISIS is bad because they help people fix their cars by installing car bombs”
Car bombs are also “technology”
You really posted this and thought no one would see right through it?

Maybe, one day, the technology helps us not having to read comments like yours, because the technology blocks them when there are protests in your country…

1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre
Just curious if it’s working

gestures broadly to the genocide in Palestine That’s America, baby!
I’ll take 100 Tiananmen Square Massacres over a single Gazan extinction event. Even believing the West’s most-possibly biased propaganda surrounding the riots, it’s such a benign event in contrast to what the US is doing right now in front of your eyes to the point that I don’t give a fuck about your games.
I don’t care about to Tiananmen Square Massacre. It literally doesn’t matter to me whatsoever. What’s next?

That’s whataboutism, the US being bad doesn’t make china good, and tiananmen square is not the only thing of the sort china has done.
