"China is the future, do you agree?"

[amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

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?

[olgaabi@lemmy.ml]

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

Anarchists Not Siding With the Bourgeoisie Challenge (Impossible)

So you're a capitalist who doesn't understand what states are for

[cowbee@lemmy.ml]

It started as a picture with Obama as Tigger and Xi as Pooh, together, then Shinzo Abe as Eeyore and Xi as Pooh again. Then, westerners loved the Pooh imagery and used it a ton, still do. It was always based on appearance from the origin, not becayse Pooh is an idiot or anything, that's just not true. Moreover, now you can see non-Chinese people making caricatures of Xi that are without a doubt racist using the Pooh thing as justification.

I don't know why you're getting so mad either.

[cowbee@lemmy.ml]

They did end up saying AnCapism or Minarchism would be better than current regulated Capitalism. I mean, if that happened to the US Imperialism would be kneecapped, so I suppose that would technically be better for most people.

[cowbee@lemmy.ml]

The reason you don't see it more is because "authoritarian" isn't a hard line you can cross, but a general descriptor, and as a consequence many will disagree about the legitimacy of that vague descriptor or believe other countries like the US fit that descriptor better. What do you personally think counts as sufficient to label one country authoritarian, and another not? Can you give an example of each, or is every country authoritarian? Does it matter if some are more or less authoritarian? All of these questions have different answers from person to person, because they apply to a general descriptor and not a hard metric, like "does the PRC have growing wages for the working class?" Or "do Chinese people enioy their system?" Food for thought.
