What an incredibly naive and dismissive thing to say.
- jiggawatts 2y agoIt isn't naive, and isn't dismissive. The problem is the CCP. The only fix is for the people to rise up against them. This doesn't even have to be violent. Most of the former Soviet Block governments fell without any bloodshed. What's the alternative? Wait for Xi to "make his mark on history" in the same way that Putin is doing in Ukraine because it's "naive and dismissive" to even talk about unseating him?
- sitkack 2y ago> Most of the former Soviet Block governments fell without any bloodshed. That was Gorbachev. Most leaders of any country would roll tanks.
- jhonkola 2y agoGorbachev sent the tanks rolling in Lithuania (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_Events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_Events).
- Tade0 2y agoBy 2017 Xi Jinping already had six failed assassination attempts against him, which prompted him to perform a large-scale purge within the ranks of the CCP. If it was all that easy, it would have been done a long time ago.
- wolvesechoes 2y agoIt is always so funny to read Americans or Western Europeans saying "just overthrow your dictator bro". Usually told by people who never faced any political violence, or any violence for that matter. I was born and live in the ex-Soviet country, and stating that Soviet governments fell without any bloodshed is a proof of ignorance.
