nothing to do with that persons race

Oh, really? Comparing an Chinese man to a yellow skinned character has nothing to do with race?

Have you considered that the meme might have different impact coming from a Chinese person ribbing their leader than a white westerner echoing it? The former might be "light ribbing" but the later is racist. Who says a thing matters significantly on whether its ok to say. You know this very well because I'd hope you'd know that its not ok for white people to use the soft r n word even though many black people use it.

See also the most common opinion on Gonzalo (yes I know there are Gonzalites, haven't seen them around here though).

OK I can see how you can twist reality to call China or the DPRK's militaries nonpeaceful even though you'd be wrong, but Cuba's? Really?

I swear someone could claim like "Russia is controlled by an army of demons" and if someone from Hexbear was like "actually that is not true you should stick to the realm of fact in your criticisms of Russia" posters you'd still get like "WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING RUSSIA? DONT YOU KNOW RUSSIA ISNT COMMUNIST".

Oh, thats good to know, can you provide more detail?

Felons in states where that loses you voting rights get taxed if they work. Same with if a 16 year old works. We already arent consistent with this one lol

I know why this idea seems attractive to people sometimes, but I don't trust the people in power to administer one in an unbiased way.

Not yet but I wouldn't be suprised to see Trump and/or Desantis pick this idea up. Also, I think its both 1. funny and 2. telling how scared they are of gen z.

Yes, they're an ideologically committed centrist liberal to a pretty extreme degree. The absolute refusal to accept the crimes of liberal capitalism as anything but "mistakes" that they "learned from" is pretty detached from reality.

Perfect example! Winston Churchill was a racist who committed intentional genocide in India.

And he wasn't just "making mistakes". He was an evil man doing evil things on purpose.

You're just constantly and tiringly arguing from the assumption that liberals are only ever bad because they "made mistakes" but I swear they mean well and are trying to do the right thing! Despite the incredible death toll that can be laid at their feat.

But communists are malicious and trying to do evil.

Every time.

Liberals dismantled those colonial empires.

This is the same argument as "but whites also FREED the slaves" and "but men also GAVE the women the vote".

Its only whataboutism to you because we are applying the same standard to liberal countries you are to communist ones.

Also America has NOT grown and learned from the internment camps.

You know the western powers signed non agression pacts with Nazi Germany too right? And then did appeasment?

This is just ahistorical in like 5 different ways I wouldn't even know where to begin, nor do I consider you worth it. Have fun.

And I don't tend to play nice with bloodthirsty fascists

Thats our attitude as well. Your problem is that you think the people who have been historically proven to be better at fighting fascism are the actual fascists. Its enlightened centrist garbage.

I don't really love everything the USSR did either. I think the population transfers were generally a pretty bad thing. But I don't do that both sides shit.
