I mean, yeah, he is a dictator. How is this news?

[-] AlgeriaWorblebot@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I understand it to be geopolitically significant. Biden, head of state for a big country. Xi, head of state for another big country. China's made it known they don't want Xi called a dictator. Biden's done it anyway.

It's the scale of the thing that matters here. It's a political statement of gravity. He's calling any bluff they've got going, and demonstrating that the USA doesn't respect China enough to use their preferred nomenclature. It's a calculated insult and a challenge.

[-] orbit@beehaw.org -1 points 1 year ago

A challenge yes, but hard to see as an insult by the audience as while the term isn't flattering in a modern context it's closer to how Xi has aligned himself.

I mean, yeah, the US is a fascist regime which literally inspired Nazi Germany, the only difference is that Germany fell and the US remained to stay alive.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Nazi Germany was inspired by a lot of things, but absolutely the most came from Faschism, invented by Italian leader Benito Mussolini.

The USA couldn't have been fachist at that time even if they wanted to.

[-] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

Nazi Germany literally just copied from the book what Usonians did to aborigenes, which if you don't know was a whole ethnic state thing, that without taking into account the treatment jews had in the US and black people. Mussolini didn't invent fascism, that was a thing that built over the years while he certainly gave it more form.

Here you have a video that goes mroe in depth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1gcipAvplY

[-] Valmond@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah let's move the goalposts... Lol

[-] Valmond@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Mussolini established the first fascist regime.

You start to talk about ethnic cleansing, like that hasn't been done well before nazism or fascism were invented, as horrible as it is what even is your point?

The you bail out with saying watch this YouTube...

You come around as a troll, an astroturfer or someone very new to fascism and ww2 history.

[-] DefinitelyNotSully@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 year ago

Just your average wumao. Downvote and report.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I was getting owned responding I guess. Should have seen it with the agressive style and a username made of characters you can't write with a classic keyboard.

[-] naneek@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

90% of your comments and posts are pro-CCP and anti-US. Do you get paid to do this? Or are you that brainwashed?

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I think that is not nice way to communicate with people.

They have their opinion and they shared it, it is not rare to be person in current era angry at US and The Global West.

For some people being pro-China or pro-Russia actually means being against US or against NATO, which can be understandable for some parts of the world that were under attack from them in last few decades.

Ask them what happened to them and why they think like they do, maybe we can learn something new.

[-] boredtortoise@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah both China and USA bad. What of it?

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

And why is THAT news?

Like are you people just learning this?

China is a dictatorship. USA is a corrupt pseudofascist empire. Russia is a criminal gang masquerading as a country.

And you're all...surprised? By this info?

[-] u_tamtam@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago

Hey! I just started to notice your messages around, with comments very critical of the USA with no argumentation whatsoever, that makes you my very first Lemmy troll, congrats :)

[-] Valmond@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. So ; argue, downvote, report or "don't feed the troll"?

Looks like we have a Winnie the Pooh (and CCP) supporter

[-] orbit@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So Xi didn't make himself leader for life? And he doesn't exert significant control over China's government?

Despite the fact that China is one of the world’s most effective democracies – this label from Biden is bad for international relations and peace. The Cold War is in full effect, and it heating up to armed conflict is seeming more likely over the next decade.

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

one of the world’s most effective democracies

Oh, honey

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

The same imbeciles who think China is a dictatorship think that US is a democracy. 😂

Despite the fact that China is one of the world’s most effective democracies –

What. The. Fuck?!?!?!

How is a 1 party regime where the current ruler has already broken his term limit to illegally keep power indefinitely, and the party in power decides who is allowed to run, a democracy?

Oh wait, this is just changing words so war is peace, freedom is slavery again.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

That's just fear mongering.

Also when did china become a democracy, yesterday ? China has never been a democracy.

[-] iridaniotter@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Well, the people get what they want and consider it democratic. So it's better than most countries at being democratic lol.

[-] nonsense_boyo@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago

China has never been a democracy.

The US has never been a democracy.

[-] Lols@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago
