    You’ve got a video clip and a worldview that fits on a bumper sticker, congrats.

    The word you’re looking for is “proof.” I have proof that China exploits it’s workers, becuase China is capitalist in all ways that matter.

    I like how you totally ignored the rest of the comment, probably because you don’t have a leg to stand on.

    You don’t actually care about Chinese workers; you just need us to be miserable props in your moral drama so you can feel superior

    I care about them enough to not delude myself into thinking a government that doesn’t give a shit about them is somehow better because it’s “socialist” on paper.

    Best of luck to you, I hope you overcome your orientalism.

    As an Asian man (my father is Fillipino,) I forgive you your hipster racisim, because I know it’s borne out of ignorance. Secondly, it’s not “oritentalism” to tell the truth about an oppresive government.

      🫡 Thank you for educating me about my government (that has 95+% support among the people even according to western institutes like Harvard). You a half Filipino American clearly understand it and it’s nuances better than me despite not being able to engage with any of the analysis I put forth. It is so gracious of you to shoulder the white man’s burden on their behalf. Again I salute you 🫡

        FYI, as a post ages, there are diminishing returns to engaging, because the audience quickly dwindles. Somehow @Cowbee@lemmy.ml keeps going and never burns out—maybe he was bit by a radioactive debatebro—but most mortals need to pick their battles strategically.
