Yeah because that’s sooooo easy

So why aren’t you more bothered by the worse actor that’s been the hegomonic superpower for the past 80ish years?

He. didn’t. shock. his. dog. You aren’t going to engage with something that doesn’t confirm your bias, so this is a futile exercise most likely, but jesus fucking christ dude.

I think lifting that many people out of extreme poverty in that short of time is admirable, and speaks to how recent the rise has been. The fact you’re saying “but they don’t have as good of worker amenities like paid time off of Europe that wasn’t at nearly such a disadvantage” is a wild standard.

How about this metric?

Even in your one cherry picked metric it’s still beating the US. Incredible.

Famously they traded 1000 Palestinians for 1 Israeli soldier.

You forgot, you have to ignore all the good things China does, highlight all the bad (especially if it’s western fear mongering bullshit), and when you highlight how contextually the US is almost always worse for X reason, remember to “oppose both” when you seem to have way more smoke for the other. This is because “tankies bad” and don’t think about it harder obviously. /s

Second this. It gives a really good baseline.

1. You’re shifting the goalpost because the initial claim about him shocking his dog is not true.
2. When do you think Crimea will be reunified with Ukraine? It’s a realpolitik reality, not an endorsement.
3. He’s never been pro Russia in this conflict, but has given the Russian perspective and is very anti nato despite that.

You don’t care though, you’ve been fed the most controversial clips, usually out of context, shown to get you worked up against a leftist perspective.

Congrats, you fell for the smear campaign.

That’s been the entire country’s history sooo…?

“Politics” is a doing a lot of heavy lifting for Genocide and ethnic cleansing.

They’re vassals to the empire. He wouldn’t be safe there anyway

I see that templeOS just off screen. Nice.

Stalin is a flawed figure, but goddamn did he kill some Nazis
