Seems to be a lot of talk here about authoritarianism.
Is demanding responsible speech over free speech absolutism "tankie"? ....because the US is demonstrating exactly what happens when you give free speech to fascists and don't monitor their "religion".
Never forget you're speaking to brainwashed ppl that thinks China and Russia are evil and they are good.
I had the most histeric discussion with people asking to to cite one leftist policy in Russia like this the fckin Mordor and they do not provide healthcare for their citizen but instead send them to the mine or whatever
It's relative.
They're just different cultures.
I don't know this for a fact, but I've read, and a guy I personally know who worked in Russia back in the 80's state that it's just Russian culture to take advantage of the "weak." They just believe if you're not trying to get over, you're stupid.
The Chinese put the good of the whole (The State) over the individual, and are highly authoritarian, and brutal when they think it's necessary, to enforce that ideology. Obviously, those in power in will take advantage of their position, but not like Americans do.
That said, those cultural mindsets would be alien to me, and I don't want to live in either of those cultures.
Holy Orientalism Batman
My friend US has no lesson to give about caring for the weak. You've are constantly electing people that prey on weaker countries and your own people. Just look one second at how are treated weak in America, do they get free healthcare ?
The whole american 'free' mindset is about trying to get over and if not you are stupid, in the 'civilized and elegant' way that is the market.
I dont know much about Russian culture but from what I know how US culture this is called projection.
I hate the CCP like dick cancer. But unlike the US, their government doesn't have to first please a bunch of billionaires before they do any improvements to infrastructure that might help some poors and less well off.
