Lemmy is weird. As long as you're on the dogpile against the current "big bad" of the week, you're good to go. Fuck Tesla? Then let's buy Chinese products.

It's insane, but it's where we are.

It’s authoritarian spyware, period. There are more options than these two - ww don’t have to choose the lesser evil.

Let's not forget that they are actively committing genocide against the Uighur. I don't think they are the "lesser evil".

Or still actively occupy Tibet, how conveniently everyone forgot that but yay a slightly cheaper car!

What, do you want to bring back the theocratic, slave-owning Lamas? I haven't been to Tibet to as them, but I really doubt the average person wants what you seem to want for them.

Because Tibet never got the chance to transition to a modern country. FYI China invaded in 1950 Oct 6th - at that time big chunk of the world was still theocratic, autocratic and slave owning.

And during the 1950s, the US trained the former slaves owners, gave them weapons, then airdropped them into Tibet to lead an uprising, they were lynched by their former slaves, but even today is still angling to install the Dali Lama as the head of state.

If China said "yall are on your own", do you think the US would stop doing what it is currently doing, giving money, weapons (when applicable), and diplomatic support to reactionaries who want to return to those days?

Or do you think they would suffer an immediate economic recession without China funding their development?

Country: is literally invaded
Some dude online: but US could have invaded too in some parallel universe!

Lmao

They werent invaded, they were liberated. They were invaded by their former masters, with US backing in the 50s.

What level of imperialism-brain do you need to think freeing a people from literal slavery is a bad thing?
