Corrupt, murderous dictatorships rarely tolerate accurate recollections of history.

You must have experience with that, it's what you've been doing for the last 200 years.

It's almost as if Chinese Imperialism, genocide and ethnic cleansing is still bad even if the West built its powerbase on Imperialism.

How many colonies does China have? How many countries has it invaded? How many wars has waged?

Fascists like you and followers of the capitalist death cult can only say this: Tibet, because they drove the feudal lords and dalai lama paedophiles; Taiwan, because the bourgeois dictatorship claimed that land as theirs, as if it isn't historically all one China, a similar story with Malvinas, I guess you also think they belong to the British; Hong Kong, which was a British colony but for some twisted reason you think they should be it's own thing, because again it historically has not belong to China; the Uyghur thing, which even Western sources deny and/or doubt of its veracity and which was propelled by a right-wing organisation pro US imperialism; and delirious ideas about China being "imperialist" in Africa or South America because it trades with them and builds infrastructure, instead of providing bogus "financial aids" which then end up in the hands of US puppets like you did in Argentina with IMF funds. So basically all of the "imperialism" you claim is China trying to recover its historical territories lost in the process of the proletarian revolution.

Meanwhile, I don't see any of the likes of you denouncing the plethora of colonies Europe and the US has been having and continue having for centuries. Why are you no so openly in favour of a Hawai'ian independence movement but you are so fervently obsessed with China? I know why, because you have fascists freudian slips and you can't even realise about it yourself, since you live surrounded by people who justify themselves, and you have never interacted with a person from the Global South that's not a fascist. By the way, the things I'm telling you, this is not "tankie" stuff, I have Peronists friends, Trotskyists friends, and all over the spectrum in Argentina, and they all know what you people say is complete and utter disgusting, the thought that everyone agrees with this kind of thought is something only maintained in first world imperialist countries. Don't fool yourself.

Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Tibet are all Colonies of China, which it treats as Colonial Territories, by -

Forcibly destroying the local culture. Forcefully extracting to harm of the locals. Genocide, abuse, kidnapping, rape.

But there is no point in engaging to you. You are a liar. You know you are. When you deny genocides, you put yourself on the same side as the fascists and reactionaries of the past.

Yeah, don't bother. Tankies are red fascists.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, tankies are fascists under a new name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are a fascist under no new name, just good old fascist.

@gary_host_laptop @cavemeat I'll do you one better:

Anyone I disagree with is a fascist.

I feel like our focus on the 20th century really limits our understanding of the depths of human depravity.

This is an image of two Assyrian soldiers forcing a captured Babylonian to grind the bones of his family.

And you might say "Wow, that's a really mean thing to say about the Assyrians!" No, this is them bragging about doing it in immortal stone form.

This wasn't printed out on a laser printer, it wasn't etched using a laser engraver. It probably took weeks or months to lovingly create this work. They were really proud of their depravity and wanted to share it with the world.

@sj_zero @cavemeat @gary_host_laptop @realcaseyrollins That's how absolutely awful the Babylonians were.

Expect parallels with the modern degeneracy movements.

@sj_zero @cavemeat @gary_host_laptop @realcaseyrollins The new world was more civilized before Europeans showed up, right?

Uh, nope.

Most people who casually hate on Christianity have never lived outside the Christian morality bubble. And would not live long if they tried.

You're a racist
