not to get all tankie on you, but China has thus far managed to restrain themselves from bombing other countries' civilian populations.

    dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’

    like again I really don’t want to frame this like the US is the good guy, the US is not, but as a matter of scale currently China is still worse

    China has been worse than Nazi Germany

    all that said, US is trying real hard to be #1 in something again so yay!

    fuck I hate this

    Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.

    I'm not about to claim they're saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you're going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.

    recency bias, there are people still alive that were directly impacted

    but thank you for actually reading about it

    but yes the US is bad, i’m not defending it

    but sure as fuck China doesn’t get to hand wave the past away

    and not all of their evils have stopped

    they’re just not being currently ran by an orange buffoon

    the US had evil shit going on under Obama and yet the world image of the US was much better then

    Do explain how China has been worse than Nazi Germany, sounds like delusion.
