As totalitarian as China? Come on. It's not even close. I'll assume you're exaggerating for effect, but please don't do that.

- dosy 7y agoIt's the same it's just overt (China) vs covert (the West). That you don't see it is the point. combine that with anti China Western propaganda and it's no surprise that you can't assess accurately. Just look at the complete failure of the Australian intelligence community in their bulshit assessment of that fraudulent fake spy. The people who are supposed to be able to provide accurate assessments. Completely making fools of themselves. played by China. In front of the whole world. Just sad. Very sad. But they're not going to learn they're just going to get defensive stay in their arrogance and blame someone else rather than reflecting how they can improve.
- refurb 7y agoI don't think people understand how much hyperbole like this undermines their arguments. "I think this is horrible" [maybe I don't agree but it's a valid opinion] "The US is as totalitarian as China" [ok, this person doesn't know what they are talking about]
- eloff 7y agoExactly, and it really diminishes the plight of the billion plus people in China, the citizens of Hong Kong who were sold out by the UK, and the horrific situation forced upon the Uighurs.
