AmeriKKKa also happens to be the same country that spreads propaganda about how capitalism is the only system that works (it does not), how communism never worked and is le ebil, also is publishing nonsense since 1997 on how China is going to collapse every next year (it has overtaken USA).
So... no, you don't have an actual point to make.
You need to have a brain to read my comments. You lack it.
It's not about brains, it's about the flow of conversation. Everytime someone calls out China on anything there's always a bunch of people that immediately say "Ah yes because the US--" No one is talking about the US. No one is saying it's any better. It being a shithole too doesn't magically make China not one. If that is the only thing you have to say then you don't actually have an argument, just the vibe that it's le based epic AES wholesome chungus country and if they do anything wrong it must be propaganda or not actually done by them.
YES, it is about the flow of conversation. That being... drumroll China/communism bad, followed by USA/capitalism works best and is only system that works (does not), then followed by a muh whataboutism nonsensical label (which you used), which, all it does is say "you cannot compare now cry boohoo we good u bad", it being a form of primitive pedantic trolling.
This is why I said you need brains, because you are repeating the same NPC narrative that every braindead western liberal or conservative does everyday, thereby confirming you have no opinion of your own, and definitely nothing that brings something fresh to the table. If you had brains, you would try to bring some new manipulative argument, and if you had a moral compass, advocated against USA/superimperialism.
In the end, it turns out that you saying I lack argument is a projection, and you are as intelligent as the Twitch chat shitposter raging on their keyboard while chugging the 5th can of Redbull.
Neither me not the person you were responding to said this. They criticised China on something - you made up the "hence the US is good/only thing that works" line. You just assumed if anyone thinks anything slightly remotely bad about China it's because they're an evil idiot liberul!!!. It really is just a reflex for you people no?
It is not a reflex, it is the MO of every "gommumism badd hehe" parrot. It is always about capitalism somehow just managing to be better on some imaginary parameters that coincidentally happen to favour Anglosphere and the subjugation of everyone to the cause of white man's burden.
No it's not. Much like you aren't a CPC shill/russian bot/whatever, no one commenting on a lemmy post is a psyop agent with a secret agenda to manipulate everyone. Those guys have the entire media, they don't need to hire people to pretend to be redditors. Just because you believe it really really hardly doesn't make it true.
