Let's be clear, I didn't do shit. Acting like Westerners is an all encompassing term to describe what YOU did is disingenuous as fuck. My government has done shitty things, the Chinese government has done shitty things.
Neither, the Chinese people, nor the American people are the ones perpetuating these shitty ass things. And the fact that you are defending one party rule in china speaks volumes. Get fucked dude, im not having this conversation anymore.
Who do you think spent 23 years occupying Afghanistan? The Turks? The Filipinos? Who is filling out the ranks of the ICE brigades snatching up toddlers and deporting them to death camps? Who is Johnnie Moore Jr.?
These are Americans.
Yeah, god forbid a single party have majority rule, right? Way better to govern like the egalitarian multi-party coalition of checks notes Israel? Hungary? Iraq? How's Thailand doing right now? Hey, America's still got two (nominally) distinct parties. Three cheers for liberal democracy!
How many people have to die to satisfy your ideological fantasies?
Blocked. I'm not doing this. You are a toxic person, and you seem intent on mudding the waters on any and all discussion.
