Time for you to go make friends with the fascists and shitlibs who share your opinions I guess

[–] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Go in the real world kid. 99% of people of all politics will not like China.

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're such a redditor

It's also kinda hard to have 99% of people dislike China if 18% of the global population lives there and is very satisfied with their government, not even counting anyone in Russia, other parts of Asia and the Pacific, Central and South America, or Africa.

You're really showing whose opinions you actually care about. A bunch of propagandized to the brim, comfortable Americans, Canadians, and Europeans

Go read about BRI infrastructure projects in Africa and Asia. The global south is generally very positive about Chinese politics because Chinese give them hospitals and roads and ports.

I wasn't talking about people in countries that have been bribed.

Most POC do not like China either, it's only a few countries.

You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

In fairness the statement is consistent. The US government does it's damndest to do nothing what so ever for the citizens of the us.

[–] Trudge@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

They do it for free! They don't even get paid to spout US State Department propaganda lmao.

At least we get Xi-bucks.

[–] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

What makes you so sure of that?

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe the US should try bribing people instead of bombing them

[–] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe the US should start "bribing" with infrastructure projects then, I thought they were all about their soft power or whatever

[–] jack@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You know the US is upstanding because it won't even bribe its own citizens by giving them anything that would improve their lives no matter how hard they vote. True democracy!

"I only want a government that doesn't do good things for me!"

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

The nefarious Chinese are tricking people into supporting them by checks notes improving their material conditions.

Thank God I live in America where I'll never have to worry about the government doing that.

[–] machiabelly@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lmao this is so dumb. Every campaign promise in every democracy is a bribe then?

[–] Commiejones@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

No.... because they never fulfill their promises. geordi-yes

[–] jack@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

China ~~helped other counties improve the material conditions of their people~~ bribed the dumb dark folk.

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

[laughs in IMF loans]

[–] happyandhappy@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

dirty browns bribed by the dirty yellows

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you'd be shocked to find out that most of the world thinks very highly of China and it's accomplishments and foreign policy. Though you like meant only to refer to Americans, which is understandable given your lamentable biases.

[–] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

No they do not LMFAO holy shit. See the graphs I posted.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

In the real world 99% of people in US think about where their next meal is going to come from instead of perseverating about China the way you're doing kid.
