As much as I dislike the Chinese Autocratig Regime, if they're right, then they're right.
China bullies and threatens all of it's neighbors. They murder more than a few Vietnamese fishermen every year. Greetings from Hanoi.

I am so embarrassed for my nation.
So many hateful people united in hate towards half of their own country.
Sometimes being a straight white dude is a weird thing, all these horrible people look around make sure there’s none of “them” around and then they say something so vile to me as if I’d agree with them.
I don’t let them off the hook. Ever. I just talk louder “what did you say? I’m hard of hearing please speak up? What did you say was the problem with all black people?! (Mexican people / gay or trans people / Jews / Asians etc)”
Fuck bigots
You live in the south.
The rest of the country isn't anywhere near so pure and absolute evil. I say this as a brown person.
But the south, they not only inspired Hitler, after the war they lynched returning black GIs for being 'uppity'.
We needed to solve this problem 160 years ago, now it's metasticized and threatens to destroy us all.
Quit trying to blame this shit on one part of the country. First of all, that's exactly the kind of division the fascists want.
Second and more importantly, it isn't even true. The rural parts of the rest of the country are just as racist as the rural parts of the south, and the urban parts of the south are just as cosmopolitan as the urban parts of the rest of the country. The only real difference between the south and everywhere else is that a slightly lower percentage of the population is rural.
I also live in the south, but I don't have other straight white guys saying bigoted shit to me as if I'm on their side. Why? Because I live in an urban enough area that I don't have to associate with fuckwads like that.

March to the sea part 2?
If we keep on the current track, the sea will be marching up from the south and east...

I don’t know if it’s a gender thing, a location thing, or just my vibe (I’m a woman from Connecticut and I’m an autistic vegan with a septum ring who presents pretty butch), but this has happened exactly once to me. It was, unfortunately, my best friend making a mildly antisemitic joke to me and another acquaintance of mine she’d never met, at his expense. Fortunately, however, I took her aside and was able to get through to her. She was adamant that she wasn’t antisemitic, but “the joke was right there.” I explained that it’s like the “make me a sandwich” or “tits or gtfo” jokes, where in one instance, they might not be so bad, but they wear on you and make you so wary of hearing them that you start to think about your wording, and they other you over time. She understood, so well that she felt awful about it and apologized, and has occasionally mentioned the interaction several times since as a pivotal moment for her.
This was such a painful but wholesome story. I think as we all grow up and mature over time, almost all of us can think of a moment where we grew. Thank you for guiding others gently and for giving them a soft bed of understanding to land on.
You’re a real one I wish I could have your patience and understanding. I

Uyghurs are in forced labor camps. That seems like worse bullying.
We really have no high ground here. Our prison industrial complex is much larger and we have way more incarcerated people per capita than china. The USA is 5% of the world’s population and we have 25% of the worldwide prison population. One in three black men will spend time in the United states prison system. We need to worry about the genocide being committed through mass incarceration and the police state here before we start judging china. Forced labor is alive and well in our country. You should watch the documentary 13th
Afaik people in usa are now too. Imperialists are the worst, no matter the color of the rag they are proud of.

When the worst guy in the room has a point :(
With how things are going around the world, I'm decently sure everyone's competing to be the worst
I think it is a reference to the onion headline "heartbreaking, worst guy you know has made a great point". People are a little flexible on "worst person" and use it whenever a bad person says something good

It's important to remember China's mindset is very much in the century of humiliation.
I kinda hate social media. It gives me anxiety and people make all sorts of assumptions from like a single comment.
The good parts are just seeing a random comment like this and then reading up on this. Like, I know very little about Chinese history despite being Chinese (ethnically) but growing up in the west myself.
It led me to watching this video: https://youtu.be/xD1nDGeiSAs
"Hardened by its past, for China there is no valid reason to trust outside forces and international commitments"
Thanks.
(of course I get a downvote ...)
It's worse than that.
Their cultural revolution and GLP caused EXTREME social paranoia.
Many are not stable, the damage caused a psychosis that causes them to distrust everyone and leads to self-destructive behavior.
The Taiwanese are an excellent contrast here, they are what the mainland should be, educated, happy, functional.
Yeah but our current position is perpetual humiliation
I’ll trade current event humiliation/nazism for the historical variant.
Germany and china are less fucked up than USA in 2025
China is still actively committing genocide against the Uyghurs so I’d would definitely not say the last one
They are deporting citizens from other counties to a black site known to torture and detain criminals all over the world. Like that lady from Canada a month ago who spent 2 weeks in a cell.
The US has been put on human rights watchlists.
Their police actively kill first ask questions second. They kill so many innocent black people that the world formed Black Lives Matter in support.
Keep staying delusional I guess till Trump starts building those gas chambers.
Guys guys, settle down. Two countries can be horrible dictatorships which don't care about it's citizens human rights. It doesn't need to be a contest. Both of you have a popsicle and go play on the swings.

I mean sure very True and very valid pieces of wisdom. But it is also very hypocritical, lets go and ask Deepseek about the Tiananmen square.
I'm sorry, this question is very sensitive and the dynamics require significant consideration. I can't talk about that topic currently.

Sweet plagiarisized quote, foreign minisier.
Yeah, that's the problem here, that they didn't give proper attribution. Spot on.
