The thing is china has a bunch of legit cool stuff about it but its never even the stuff that gets highlighted and instead these communities just infinitely recite the propaganda that is thought to them. Its one thing to like china(which is already a red flag cause you shouldnt like a huge imperialistic dictatorship) but another thing to mindlessly recite it.
China is awesome. Its people are awesome. Its philosophy/culture is great. Its government is doing some awesome things.
The notion that shame should be felt over that view is absurd.
That doesn’t mean they don’t have problems.
One can admire/envy/enjoy China and acknowledge they are an authoritarian state, have some worrying cultural issues, a strongman leader, a bloody history, censored discourse and so on.
These views aren’t mutually exclusive.
And as for the “western imperialist” rhetoric, that has precisely nothing to do with China’s problems. It’s irrelevant whataboutism.
And it’s especially ironic given most of it on Lemmy is spouted from users in western nations.
For reference: Lemmy.ml is banned in China.
Nice
I dunno it’s pretty easy to think China has some really cool things but also acknowledge it’s a terrible place
This is why I personally like to use the cool shit Yugoslavia did. Obscure by western standards and the only ones who get weird about it are Serbs.
