    Unlike this picture, real life contains many shades of grey. There are some areas that could be improved but in other areas they excel about any other nation. It’s not black and white.

    Life doesn’t have to be about identity and this picture screams “my identity is a tankie”, which is cool but just means it’s shit bias. Equally, saying a generic “China bad” screams that someone doesn’t alot about its politics

        I have no issue with communists. I’m in the anti capitalist camp myself.

        I guess all I’m trying to say is idealising nations as utpoian is unrealistic and demonizig them as dystopian is equally as unfair.

        There are obviously exceptions where governments do treat their citizens like trash. I don’t like what America is doing at the moment. I try not to think in binaries generally, learning not to anyway
