Last I checked liberals are all about respecting rules and international law, so we're just holding you to your own standards here.
I'm not obligated to respect laws when the laws don't respect human rights. Slavery was legal at once point. The holocaust was legal at one point. Was I ever obligated to respect those laws?
The PRC objectively has a better human rights record than the RoC.
Good thing China has a far better human rights record than the west.
It really doesn't unless you believe the state media that's allowed to come out of it. Even then, they publicly reject any lgbt type content.
Calling it “vulgar, immoral and unhealthy content”.
Even going so far as to jail a women for 10 years for producing BL content.
There's really no reason to believe western oligarch owned media over Chinese state media. Of course, western propagandists rely on people such as yourself being already primed to believe the worst possible things about China making their work pretty easy.
Good thing you're doing sober examination and study into life in China without western bias, how it has improved real living conditions for its people, and applying that principle equally across the board
You Libs clearly have very little conviction to your "rules based order" and drop it the second it becomes a barrier to US hegemony.
Your mom already gives me plenty of jerk off material.
luv 2 get all my political opinions from literal paid shills
liberalism
IDK your mom looks pretty fine to me, whatever the western media says
Guess the good genes didn't carry over to you though
HAHAHAHAHAHA SLAUGHTERED!
Nice try, but pointing out liberals being hypocrites has nothing to do with abandoning our own ideals. What's being said is that you lot claim that's how things should work and you don't follow your own rules.
Does your mommy chew your food for you too?
it's not so much that the joke's on you, but rather that you embody the joke
can you point to where in this thread you made any claim that can be argued with? all I see is whining about communists.
you made claims but mostly about the people posting. snarky asides aren't points to be debated.
As an actual Chinese person, my disdain for the KMT runs a bit deeper than that.
Fuck Chiang Kai-Shek from the bottom of my heart. He pleaded for help from the CCP, then betrayed and butchered the communists who were helping him. Just look at the Shanghai massacre. He then purged anyone even vaguely left wing from the Kumingtang.
I never abandoned my ideals, they were always fuck the ROC to begin with. How do you think he lost the civil war in China? He lost popular support because he was a backstabbing vermin. He should be in a deeper layer of hell than even Reagan and Thatcher.
god it was so confusing having a prof explain this whole history while adamantly backing the KMT/ROC. I was a lib at the time so I didn't know how to process it but even then I was like wait he seems like a fucking asshole wtf is wrong with you.
praising good things and criticizing bad ones is abandoning my ideals. I am very smart.
they're not abandoning their ideals they're pointing out that liberals only hold to their own convictions when it's convenient
"respect the rule of international law!" "ummmmmmm but not when they agree on things i don't like"
Just curious, why did you spell it this way?
