That's how you justify benefiting from the regime and your implicit support for it.
Claiming that mass movements are a ridiculous idea is a historically illiterate position to take. The only reason you take this position is because you're not personally affected by all the suffering caused both domestically and abroad by what your regime does. One day you may find yourself affected as well as you country continues to implode politically and economically, and by then it will be too late to take any meaningful action. You deserve what's coming to you.
You think China sucks because of the information you consume that tells you that China sucks. Again, have you been to China, do you speak the language, do you talk to people who live in China. If the answer to these questions is no, then what precisely is your claim that China sucks based on, the garbage you read in western media about China?
Yeah, actually that's exactly how you translate things. You take the official translation made by the government of China instead of making one up yourself. The fact that you would even argue this point is frankly surreal. You very much are exposing yourself as a chauvinist both by using the made up name that your regime gave the party and claiming that China sucks without any actual knowledge of China. You're a chauvinist.
Im the one being exploited into paying for it, and you think im benefitting from it? How fucking dare you accuse me of something so heinous just because I don't want to challenge the most powerful entity on the entire planet. You are a sick delusional piece of shit and there is no getting through to you. Go tell all your tankie friends you won the argument, you broke me.
Here's what real exploitation looks like that western corps use every day to produce shit you consume. And these horrors are enabled by spineless western public who refuse to challenge their regimes. Instead you'll bravely berate people who point this out to you. Can call me names all you like, but won't change the fact that the empire exists because of people like you.
