Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

Edit: there's also this thread: https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693

Someone asked you how China doesn't have freedom of speech, which is what you claimed and are responsible for proving. You responded asking "have you been living under a rock?" This is appealing to "common knowledge" as if it is just widely known and no evidence is required. In a different comment you said all your comments were your own thoughts and not based on US propaganda. Unless you have lived in China and had your freedom of speech violated, you are obviously just repeating racist anti-China propaganda that has no evidence. If there was evidence you would provide it but since you can't provide what doesn't exist all you can rely on is the false notion that it-is-known

This is just one direct example debunking your rhetoric and showing it is illogical, but there are more examples in the thread. Instead of trying to form a perspective based on facts or data you are just making racist claims about over a billion people and then refusing to consider that you actually don't know what you're talking about even though it is very obvious to anyone who has spent even a little time looking into this topic
