    When I say that china is just another capitalist nation, then your whataboutism to other capitalist nations does not defend china.

    It proves my point.

    China heavily guides public opinion, there’s no opposition allowed.

    And you are a mouthpiece for the Chinese government.

    And you’re allowed to do it because we allow opposition.

    That’s democracy.

      It’s absolutely crazy how brainwashed westerners are to believe that Democracy is when the people can’t control policy, but they’re allowed to importantly post criticism of it online.

      I am not interested in defending China. I want you to know that West is not holy

      It is good then. Many oppositions only care about themselves

        So the opposition, ml instance, only cares about themselves and thus should be heavily censored?

        I thought we were here on Lemmy so that we could choose what content we see and which content we want to upload.

          I said “many oppositions only care about themselves” not “all oppositions only care about themselves”
