Despite China's growing presence, support and approval in Africa, many people there unfortunately still believe or have internalized Amerikkkan neoliberal propaganda to where they dislike or heavily distrust China and communism, and China's comparatively cheaper and altruistic investments and assistance to Africa for very little or no returns can easily be viewed in a suspicious lens.

I believe that every death is a tragedy, and great care should be taken to avoid violence and death when reasonably possible. But every single capitalist, landlord, offending pedophile, rapist, neoliberal dronie or capitalist bootlicker that gets put in the ground potentially improves and saves the lives of thousands.
Same here. I genuinely believe every death is a tragedy, for various reasons. For bad people, I feel bad that they often had a shitty start in life, and they could have made something of themselves, but due to circumstances and really shitty choices and evil actions, they end up dead.
That being said, there are definitely lots of shitty people who belong in the dirt, and I won't feel as bad about it when they deserve it.
Hasta la victoria siempre!
Which is already in the bargain bin.
You're from Plano? Sweet, I'm from DFW/NRH! Maybe we could pm and shoot the shit together irl.
It pains me how accurate your last sentence is. Even when I was a libertarian and later liberal, I was pretty intelligent from a young age and I remained very skeptical when in high-school in Texas, they always drilled into our heads that "communism doesn't work", even in fucking English literature class of all goddamn places, and I remained skeptical, especially because even when I was like 8 years old, I would look up and google and wikipedia topics that interested me, like communism, death, the afterlife, science, paleontology.
Maybe it wasn't so obvious back then, and I might be giving myself too much credit. But it always infuriated me even when I was anti-communist, that people say blatant bullshit anti-communist like that. I figured that if communism "didn't work" on at least some level, the Soviet Union and China wouldn't have hundreds of millions of citizens and western supporters while also having kick-started dozens of revolutions across the globe, and communist parties and rebel groups wouldn't still exist to this day.
I'm sure my teachers in middle and high-school meant well on some level, and the Texas board of education sucks ass and probably forced or indoctrinated them into repeating capitalist lies, but it still hurt that we were forced to swallow capitalist boot.
I'm not consenting.
I wasn't aware that the western world has cheap healthcare, protects striking workers that kill corrupt bosses and capitalists, and raises the minimum wage every few years.
