How exactly "rational distaste" would work?
Anything that isn't a so-called democracy with so-called western values (which change every 10 years) is patently evil.
Is this a relic of cold war propaganda? I hate to call it "brainwashing" because that's a very politically charged word but it's a belief that's so ubiquitous and immediate it surprises me. Especially for a culture with such anti-authoritarian cultural history.
Not defending CPP by any means just always find it funny from a vantage point of being surrounded on both sides by extremely large pot and kettle.
That's my point. Americans act like China is the great evil... it's quite strange.
Ask Tibetens about that. The US left Iraq but the CCP still controls Tibet and oppresss native Tibetans. Or the Uyghurs that the CCP are brutally persecuting. Or the Falun Gong. The CCP also is a strong ally of the despicable North Korean government and sends North Koreans in China back to North Korea to face long prison sentences or execution.
The CCP is very evil at violating individual human rights. And smart people defending their behavior is very odd
And no, China's oppression of Tibet is nothing close to a million dead Iraqis and an ancient country turned into a failed state. The fact you'd even make such a goofy comparison shows how deep American indoctrination runs.
Your tax dollars are still torturing brown people without trial in Gitmo and genociding Palestinians btw.
You are by minimizing it.
"China's oppression of Tibet is nothing close to a million dead Iraqis"
At least the US got rid of Saddam. China is still oppressing the hell out of Tibet.
"The fact you'd even make such a goofy comparison shows how deep American indoctrination runs."
The fact that you consider this to BE a "goofy comparison" shows how deep your pro-CCP indoctrination runs.
"genociding Palestinians"
If you consider what Israel is doing to Palestinians to be genocide then you have to consider what the CCP is doing to the Uyghurs to be a genocide also. But you seem very selective with your outrage.
You have psychological problems and are beyond reasoning with. Like I said, brainwashed.
Like I said, you have psychological issues if you think it's remotely comparable to millions of Iraqis getting senselessly tortured and slaughtered.
Like a Nazi who thinks they're not so bad because the Americans have racial segregation.
Here's a hint: not well.
And what makes you say that the CCP is anti-billionaire?
