  • i don’t wanna sound like a dick: i read it all, it’s still all from the same newspaper, the wiki link leads to nowhere and it’s not connected to systemmatic organ harvesting.

    it is describing mass surveillance in a region which was ravaged by islamic terrorism. but why is there no outrage about the same stuff happening in western countries on a larger scale? (palantir). mass surveillance is horrible, i agree. but it’s all around us. if china does it tho they have to be singled out.

    i’m not trying to do a whataboutism here but if a “good state” did this in a region with a high terror threat it’d be generally considered fine and necessary. (war on terror)

    ok. there’s a chinese police station in ireland, which is odd. but at the same time europeans have to make peace with US bases which do far more. but china is painted as absolute evil while we’ve been occupied, economically controlled and monitored by a foreign nation since ww2. (rammstein, patch barracks…)

    another false equivalency. every superpower tends to fail in places, it is unfortunately inevitable and i hope technological progress will someday reduce the harm people inflict on others (it won’t happen)

    i can’t say anything on the 1989 protests as the provided source is not working.

    it’s not like i made up my mind but the main point: “systemmatic organ harvesting by making unwanted people disappear on a mass scale” still sounds highly conspiratorial and you did not refute that, you just added more “china bad” into this exchange.






  • yet china has 10x less billionaires per capita than the US. china is also not known for putting billionaires in the spotlight or letting them dictate policy. also: in the context of how china developed through the 20th century until today it´s more than impressive how china advanced the material conditions of regular workers. i am not denying that exploitation of labour happens to an extend, but it is neither encouraged nor as rampant as in western countries. china claims to be socialist “with chinese character” but they are capitalist after all, this includes all the failings of the system. but with extra guardrails.
