Re: brainless sheeple asians Consider how easy it was to get you to believe cartoonish generalities about a billion people you've never met. Who's the sheep?

  I can't think of any other explanation why so many people condone China government to that extent. When was the last Chinese protest? Why is it so many countries have citizens protesting all the time, yet I bet this never happens in China. I'm just making some observations, granted I didn't choose the best words.

    I appreciate the engagement. I'm not Chinese and either way I wouldn't speak for 1.6B people. I'll just note that there have been way more revolutions in China than in America over any timeframe, and they were all terrible. Things are going great for average Chinese people right now, and they have living memory of revolution, bloodshed, starvation, etc. Why fuck with it? Lock in the economic gains, and slow-march towards democracy. Xi is trying to move things in the wrong direction on the freedom front, and that's bad. The solution here is alliance with Chinese intellectuals, not opposition to 'China' that forces them onto their people's side.

      Sure, fair point on siding with the people. I'll just add there is an element of holding the people accountable for what their government is doing, which is also why Americans got some flak during the Iraq war. I'll try to read more on this though.
