Oh yes, I’m a firm believer that democracy is bad, and people know this intuitively but they forget because they’re taught to reflexively support democracy and criticize everything else.
People love to trash capitalism on Lemmy but praise socialism and democracy. When it comes to which t shirt style I get to wear, I vastly prefer capitalism. If that were a democratic choice we’d all be wearing the same t shirt!
Or maybe we would be wearing the shirt that helped twice as many people as there are Americans out of poverty in one country - the socialist system of China. China actually has a system of democracy that scales perfectly, unlike the American system that flounders at scale.
China is the place where, if someone hits you with their car by accident, they’ll stop and run you over to finish you off, in order to avoid paying your family for caring for you and your injuries.
It’s nothing to do with race and everything to do with ideology. I have close friends whose parents survived the cultural revolution. They would tell you the same thing.
You are not criticizing the county, you are typecasting and criticizing the people of that country. And you are criticizing them because they are Chinese. Your comment was aimed at all Chinese citizens in China, typecasting them as all behaving in the same derogatory fashion, because they are Chinese. You obviously consider all Chinese citizens in China as inhumane murderers who put their own interests above the sanctity of a human life. Really? Every person in China would kill an innocent victim by running over them again and again to make sure they are dead? Exactly what is that supposed to say about a Chinese person? Your comment was nothing more than a typical racist joke. Does your racist ‘joke’ have anything to do with your display moniker?
Yes I would also call someone an anti-Semite who says ‘All Jews want to exterminate the Palestinians just because Jews hate Palestinians’ just as I would call an Israeli or anyone else racist for saying ‘The only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian’.
You ought to educate yourself on the difference between the general and the universal. A society can have serious ideological, legal, and social problems without those issues reflecting on the people or their culture.
I think this is too sophisticated an argument for someone like you, though, so I won’t waste any further time on you. You think everything in black and white terms, ready to pounce on anyone you think is the other team. Good day!

Car insurance is mandatory in China, and includes liability.
Racism is where you blatantly paint an entire race pejoratively, spreading factually false stereotypes just because of their race.
It’s nothing to do with race and everything to do with ideology. I have close friends whose parents survived the cultural revolution. They would tell you the same thing.
So if you do not like their ideology, you get a free pass to be racist?
Nope. I’m not racist, and fuck you for even suggesting it!
You’re doing the same shit people do to defend the government of Israel! Accusing anyone who criticizes the country of being an anti-Semite.
