      In the Hexbear thread that got me banned from that community and subsequently harassed by its instance users, I asked if it is “repression when any country sets an official language and mandates that it’s used in its institutions” and their upvoted reply was “WTF Yes”. Their hypocrisy couldn’t be any more obvious when their view of the exact same thing changes based on whether it’s Ukraine or China for example.

      Well, that and China’s mandate of ethnic unity (Han supremacy). Even if you generally consider RFA propaganda, which is fair. That doesn’t make things automatically false. Especially when China itself has stated it’s goal to be that.

      I mean here in the US anyone would injure themselves cringing when someone demands that everyone must speak English. No accommodation for other languages. And adopt “white culture” as people like magats do. Whatever that is. Xi and the CCP? Another day ending in Y.

        But it does make it automatically false. Only CCP speaks the truth. If anyone reports it other than CCP then it is false by definition.

          That’s just it though. Ethnic cleansing/unity is official policy. Campist will still deny it of course. Hypocrisy is their constant. It’s just like talking to magats in many ways.

            I get the Chinese appogists, I really do. While the CCP might be trash when it comes to cultural genocide, the Chinese people are an amazing culture and I am proud at what they have accomplished even under the yoke of their olgiarchy.

            The Russian apologists not so much. Once again, love the Russian people but their government unlike the CCP is garbage in comparison. They don’t have a leg to stand on so to speak and their propaganda is so low effort.

              Yes, always separate the people from the systems of oppression. But the good can’t outweigh the bad such systems do. So I give them as much quarter and understanding as they give others.
