"China is the future, do you agree?"

reply to the person who’s actually arguing with you, coward!

babe all i know is folks in china who protest their own government use whinnie the pooh as a derogatory representation for that man. are THEY being racist? or is it possible that the color of the cartoon plush bear isn’t the point?

maybe it’s more to do with whinnie the pooh being a dopey idiot liable to get his head stuck in a honey jar. i reckon THAT’S the insult. it seems pretty obvious against something so literally stupid as “haha bc he’s yellow”.

i didn’t think people SERIOUSLY still used this garbage as a gotcha. you’ve genuinely impressed me with your willingness to so boldly plow into a bad faith argument. please do something better with your time

Tanks stopping when a person blocked their path? And remaining calm even when the person climbs over the tank? Finally the tank driver talking with person calmly?

Their army or atleast the tank driver seems to be very decent.

The Tiger character is called Tigger

Totally not racist?

Btw, what does Tigger rhyme with, my fellow Ningen?

Censorship of memes is not fun as a person who likes memes, but considering how they lifted millions of their people out of poverty very quickly, a ban on a racist meme is ok.

lmao top-tier troll

[xanthobilly@lemmy.world]

I don’t buy it. The Chinese people have been using this meme.

[achyu@lemmy.sdf.org]

But the commentors above said that the Chinese govt is censoring Winnie the Pooh. This image has Pooh and also another character from the same series.

So the commentor is wrong and there is no active censorship?
Or they're partly correct where only some Pooh gets actively censored?

[xanthobilly@lemmy.world]

I’m sorry, but you’ve been arguing with me! I already shared the wiki. As far as I know it’s not racism, it’s exuberant Chinese censorship. This whole post is Chinese propaganda and they’re astroturfing it.

[ngn@lemmy.ml]

no, infact i think there should not be any china in the future

[achyu@lemmy.sdf.org]

Arguing?

no state at all, I'm a libertarian socialist

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

What year do you think it is?

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

So when you said "that kinda thing never works for long" you were referencing to any state? I think history has proven you wrong on that one, champ.

[olgaabi@lemmy.ml]

just look at rome, or any other empire for that matter, didn't last for ever, I was talking about the history of humanity, not a few lifetimes

[themurphy@lemmy.ml]

I was confusing the actual war with a later protest against China because of Tibet, happening maybe 10 years ago.

My mistake.

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

Rome wasn't a state, and it lasted for many centuries. Don't try to pretend by "doesn't work for long" you were talking about geological time or something
