It’s ok, they’re a hwite Democracy™. They will use them responsibly in surgical strikes against terrorist targets only
So that’s what they were planning to use the Berlin Wall for if the German reunification had gone the other way around. It makes sense, given the West was never denazified
What I’ve found helpful in making these types of people question their bloodthirsty beliefs, or at least backtrack on them IRL, is to ask them what they would do if they were Ukrainians in Ukraine now, or if they had a home or loved ones there. Even the most rabid ones usually stop after hearing this, if anything because they see how deranged their stance is. I doubt it would make random libs online back down, since shame doesn’t play a big role in anonymous spaces, but still
That’s also my impression with all the Baltics. And certainly 9 out of 10 Baltic people I’ve met didn’t do anything to dispel that impression
Thanks for the link, haven’t checked that channel in a while. This reminds me a lot of the attitude people have in my country towards immigrants from the Global South - they view them with benign curiosity more than anything. I do worry it will get worse in time, in no small part due to worsening material conditions and an overall reactionary population. But it’s a very different context compared to China
Thanks, this is informative. I guess this is just another case of westerners cherry-picking data and blowing it out of proportion, because from what you’re saying, this sounds just like what one would expect to find in online communities in any other country.
It’s a bit disappointing to see takes such as 留岛不留人 are common enough to have their own slogans that are known even to people outside the circles who don’t support this (anecdotal, but that Chinese émigré I mentioned in the post also referred to this slogan). For the Japan part, I’m not surprised - I’ve heard casual calls for genocide by people of some countries against other countries for far smaller historical offenses. Not surprised there’s so much animosity towards Japan, given all they’ve done and how they treat the issue to this day. Still a horrible take to call for genocide, obviously, but I’m not surprised that there is a niche of society thinking like this. I bet you can find nazi/genocide enthusiasts in any country
Sorry, yeah, I’m referring to bigotry, not anything institutionalized.
I share the same last name with Obama
Indeed. I guess they must be getting him more views but I’m not sure how I feel about the type of audience it attracts, especially since his channel is not explicitly Marxist
I missed their comment, but these people seem to have an extra dose of “I am very smart” energy, compared to the average lib
Libs will read that quote and go “people’s democratic dictatorship?? Literally Orwellian doublethink war is peace omg 1984”.
For real, it’s such a vague retort that I just changed topics afterwards, because I didn’t even know where to start. Whose dictatorship over who? Why are you opposed to this? What does the opposite situation say about countries like the US and why is that good if this is bad?
It’s so ingrained in their mind they’ll always give a knee-jerk response like this so they don’t have to go through the pain of challenging their worldview (instead it seems they’d rather choose the pain of continually worsening exploitation and living standards)
Had to look that up, at first I thought it’s an actual thing rich people do, going to watch sharks in a tank lol. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit, given their fondness for horse races and unnecessary subjugation in general
Mentioned this to a liberal before, they said it’s proof China is a dictatorship 🤷🤷
It’s just an old boys’ club with a few onion layers of academia wrapped around to make it less obvious
Nazis are just DOP fascists
That was my initial thought as well. They love calling themselves “NatSoc” so I get uneasy whenever I see that term
a.k.a. Time to move even further to the right buddy, Labour’s basically caught up with you now on right-wingness and F🤡rage is calling you fake conservative, are you even trying?
