    I don’t think this post is a defence of China, its a damning of the invasive governments, which the US also has.

    It’s a warning that we are one step away from China, and should do something about it.

      No it’s not a “warning,” it’s just boring old whataboutism.

      The first part of your comment is like a textbook example of the fallacy.

        It seems to be a very common fallacy in geopolitics to believe that a rival of the US must automatically be morally better. You see plenty of “left wing” imperialism defenses that blame Ukraine for the invasion and insist they should give up and do whatever Russia wants them to do.

        It’s apparently disappointingly complex for some people to believe that X can oppose Y and both of them can be horrible bastards. They can’t take criticism of China or Russia because they automatically see an implicit “America better” that’s not really there.

            Absolutely, yeah. I’d like to think I’m able to give a more objective take since I got into TikTok late, but I honestly don’t know that I do.

      It seems people can’t understand this. Am not American so i have an outside view that’s free from any patriotic feeling and the spoon fed propaganda since childhood.
