China […] supplying censorship and surveillance technology to governments in Myanmar, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, and others linked to the Belt and Road Initiative.
Comment on 600 GB of Alleged Great Firewall of China Data Published in Largest Leak Yet
chloroken@lemmy.ml 1 day agoWhen 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.

Wow, yeah, the Israel connection sure does suck. China is bad because of how close they are to Israel. Of course.
Wait.

I know you are trying to be clever but you are just coming across as immature and stupid. This is a common ass saying so you have no excuse for forgetting it “two wrongs don’t make a right.”
chloroken@lemmy.ml 22 hours ago
An equivalence does not exist. The US supplied the money, munitions, and political cover for Israel to commit a genocide. Whatever half-baked bullshit connection you want to cook up between China and Israel has no business being compared to the US’s ongoing facilitation of genocide.
To invoke “two wrongs” here is downplaying US and Israeli genocide to own China. Disgusting behavior.

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.

That’s nit simply about technology.
China’s Ties With Israel Are Hindering the Palestinian Struggle for Freedom
China is pushing a flawed peace process while deepening economic ties with Israel […] Indeed, the Chinese state has prohibited basic demonstrations of solidarity with Palestine, confiscating Palestinian flags displayed publicly and preventing mobilizations in support of Gaza […]

confiscating Palestinian flags displayed publicly and preventing mobilizations in support of Gaza
I don’t really think the evidence is strong enough to attribute any sort of anti-Palestinian policy. The video is short, only 13 seconds, with no audio and no context. It doesn’t depict a large mobilisation of support, only one person, though it does look like he had his flag confiscated by school-security. In the clip, another person also has their Chinese flag confiscated. It’s possible given the evidence that large flags were confiscated regardless of which flag it is. We can also see a smaller Palestine flag allowed by the school-security.
The twitter account you attributed only posts unsourced and impossibly to verify anti-China news, so it’s possible this video is widely taken out of context given who’s reporting it.

You do realize that the original post is on lemmy.zip and not lemmygrad, right?

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.

There’s a cure for this confusion. Read Marxist theory.
Eldritch@piefed.world 19 hours ago
There's no use in reading theory when you refuse to think critically about it. Plus no where in Marx's theory does it call for or justify brutal dictatorial authoritarian regimes. The dictatorship of the proletariat was a philosophical and rhetorical construct.. Not a litteral one. Which makes the tanky squealing of "read the theory" even more hillarious. You're worse than the liberals you hate.

Ah, confused for a second time, I see.
I’m recommending reading leftist theory because it explains the things you’re confused about. I recommend actually reading something and forming a coherent thought before you worry about critical thinking. You might get into trouble if you rush things given how far down the rabbit hole you seem to be.

Marxism-Leninism is a literal cult, and “read more theory” is the chant they use to kill critical thought.
Those that doubt the Holy Theory are misguided counterrevolutionaries, and only the purest of yes-men that never question anything will join the glorious Vanguard Party™.

The Chinese are not marxists. They are whores of wall street, rather pimps, pimping out their population to Wall Street to Garner Western technology and investment. While their workers toil 6 days a week 12 hours a day for substance wages and companies dump their toxins into the ground and Air.
