Varyk, in China hits back at Biden: ‘Extremely absurd’ to call Xi a dictator

In no way is it absurd to call Xi a dictator. It is a spot-on description.

Varyk, in Blinken’s trip hasn’t interrupted slide toward war

Wow, this article is just a burning pile of rubbish. No. Xi was not happy with trump. We had a trade war. No, kowtowing to dictators is not the way to stop dictators. How is trump brown-nosing xijinping an indication of "comprehensive economic policy"?

This is just a weird right-wing plea to allow civil-rights-abuse sympathizers back into US office.

Imagine being so ignorant that you think China is a dictatorship. 😂

goat,

It absolutely is a dictatorship. China ranks bottom 10 of all freedom indices.

goat,

Great sources there, dude. You're non-ironically linking socialistchina.org.

You expect anyone to take that seriously?

The Freedom Indices are aggregated lists from over nine different countries with nonprofit organisations dedicated to fairness, equality and, most importantly, freedom. They measure this through a variety of tactics, which you can visit by seeing each organisation.

All of your sources consist of the sane survey done on Chinese citizens on ranking their own government. North Korea would also be in favour of their government.

The man responsible for the survey, Edward Cunningham, also has investments in Chinese assets.

Most recently he has engaged in work on the rise of Chinese private wealth and philanthropy. He serves as an advisor to private and publicly listed companies in the energy, environmental, and financial services sectors.

Likewise, the survey source itself even acknowledges China's authoritarianism.

The rest of your sources are known for Fake Information..

Just in case you delete your comments out of embarrassment, I'm going to tag you, @yogthos

Stop spreading fake news. China is a dictatorship and one of the least freest countries.

Yeah, I’m unironically linking to sources that aren’t US propaganda. I’m also linking to plenty of western sources like Harvard that say the same thing. Meanwhile, the freedom index is literal US propaganda that targets people who lack basic critical thinking facilities. Of course, your comment makes it pretty clear that no amount of facts would ever convince you. So, there’s no point trying to have a discussion with you.

goat,

You clearly didn't read my comment or my sources. Your only link is to the same survey reported by different fake news and misinformation outlets.

The Freedom Indices -- That's indices, there are multiple -- are aggregated lists from over nine different countries with nonprofit organisations dedicated to fairness, equality and, most importantly, freedom. They measure this through a variety of tactics, which you can visit by seeing each organisation.

love you ignored the stuff about Edward Cunningham and the fact your primary source even acknowledges China is authoritarian.

you look quite silly right now :3

The fact that you don’t understand that the freedom index is US propaganda as opposed some independent list of genuine research shows that you’re incapable of rational thought. You’re just a shill for the empire. The fact that you think I’m the one who looks silly here just further adds to hilarity here.

The fact that you thought I would delete my comments shows just how far off the deep end you are buddy. The only one who should be embarrassed here is you, but you don’t even realize it.

Can’t wait till China has had enough shit from US and starts cutting US off economically.

GarbageShootAlt2, in The world’s largest democracy is collapsing before our eyes

Says “World’s largest democracy” but it’s not about the PRC? India, unlike China, actually has something resembling pogroms against Muslims.

nadir,

Because the PRC is not a democracy?

Skyrmir,

PRC has fewer people, regardless of it’s political structure.

GarbageShootAlt2,

PRC still has very slightly more, as far as I can tell. About 20 million more, 1.40something billion vs 1.42something billion.

Elindio,
GarbageShootAlt2,

Who gave you the opinion that the PRC is less of a democracy than India?

nadir,

Who gave you the impression that the PRC is a democracy at all?

GarbageShootAlt2,

Now now, I asked you first ;)

But I would say that it was mainly the Chinese people who gave me that impression with their consistent and overwhelming approval of their government, and their majority view that it is indeed democratic. I know that any such heterodox claims will be dismissed out of hand, but I’ll still give you a shot.

Earthprototype, in Early stages of Ukrainian counteroffensive ‘not meeting expectations,’ Western officials tell CNN

What nonsense is this? They are doing a great job. Assaulting heavily fortified positions is extremely hard, whoever thinks Ukraine is not fast enough probably knows nothing about shit. Just look at the Allies offensives in Europe during WW2, especially the beach landings. It took months to break the lines of defense.

Warns? It's been going on for decades.

Executions increased 75% from 2021 to 2022. With the recent protests it has gotten markedly worse.

radicalpikachu, in The world’s largest democracy is collapsing before our eyes

Reminder that Reddit still hosts the largest hatful subreddit that is r/IndiaSpeaks and nothing ever happens to it.

The content in the sub ranges from Islamophobia, death threats, misogyny and homophobia.

Beliriel,

I think we also underestimate just the sheer mass that India has. The chances that you talk to an Indian on an English website is pretty high.

Honestly those people give a bad rap for other Indians, I have many Indian friends and they are very chill people.

You obviously haven’t been to /r/sino then. The most racist place on the internet. Reddit is aware of it and do nothing. I wonder why.

szczur, in The world’s largest democracy is collapsing before our eyes
@szczur@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t really feel representative democracy falls into a category of democracy anymore.

AndyGHK,

In our modern age, it really doesn’t. We have the infrastructure to make direct democracy possible, we just lack the political will to take responsibility for our communities and vote and be informed as much as that would require. As humans, not as a nation in particular.

Skyrmir,

We have the technology, but not the social skills. Most of America doesn’t know their next door neighbors, let alone their community. We have a lot of steps to go before direct democracy is the best solution.

so very sad to see so many lives ended and equipment destroyed to progress so little distance. I see journals write on the profit of united states defense companies at the expense of this life and destruction. it is clear that the western countries will not pursue peace in good faith so it is my hope that a third party, possibly China, can help mediate peace to end the fighting.

the people of the donbass and luhansk voted to join russia and have been killed by ukranian artilliary for many years let them follow the will of democracy

Rinox,

the people of the donbass and luhansk voted to join russia and have been killed by ukranian artilliary for many years let them follow the will of democracy

Also Kiyv right? Because Russians tried to take that too you know And the rest of the country for that matter. And depose the democratically elected president. But yeah, tell me now, Zelensky is fascist satanist gay and other epitomes you'll parrot straight from Putler's lips.

The fact of the matter is, Russia invaded Ukraine like Nazi Germany did with Czechoslovakia and Poland, using the pretext of "protecting ethnic minorities" like Nazi Germany did and will be sent back, like Nazi Germany.

But sure, let Russia pursue peace in "good faith" and let them "liberate" cities by turning them to glass floors.
