So I was browsing reddit out of boredom, and I saw a random post on the hoi4 subreddit and I clicked it without much thought. It was about Chinese players giving bad reviews to the game due to India getting cores for Tibet but not China. I clicked on it due to my masochistic desire to see if anyone else would recognize how stupid it was, and was sorely disappointed.

There were the usual ‘muh ccp’ jokes there, also shit about ‘west taiwan’ (ah yes ‘I understand history very well’), and then one guy who really caught my attention saying Chinese ‘people’ (savages) don’t matter because they speak a different language from ‘us’ (the civilized white people). Now granted that isn’t the most charitable interpretation, but… like… come on, this is reddit.

Shit like this makes my blood boil. Because libs will go, ‘oh we accept everyone!’ ‘we hate the government not the people!’ and drop the most disgusting garbage like this because they’re proud little pigs knowing how much propaganda they can fucking shove down their own throats and see an entire race as subhuman. I’ve always thought reeducation was better than punishment and that a lot of these folks are simply misguided, but jesus christ they’re not making it easy for me to suppress the desire to bind them to a rock with metal chains and beat their ribs to pieces with my bare fists and/or a metal bar while screaming “BEG FOR MERCY NOW YOU RACIST SHIT-FOR-BRAINS!”

It gets even more frustrating when it’s people you know in real life. I have a trans friend who generally has pretty good takes on stuff like palestine, disabled rights etc, but even he regurgitates the same shit from the state department and about how he’d ‘definitely kill xi if he got the chance.’

It’s so fucking tiring that these assholes can just turn the ‘counts as human’ switch on and off whenever they want for whatever race they want and suffer no consequences whatsoever. Really makes me wish I could Diver Down their screens and remind them of the weight of their words by bashing in their pale distorted sweaty reddit faces.

rant over.

    yea i cant really understand why my relatively irrelevant country (mexico) has this deeply internalized sinophobia, it gets old quick having the same silly racist remarks whenever i bring up China in a conversation especially coming from “catholics”.

        No but it is against Catholicism to be communist for a while, it has now been abrogated.

        In 1949 Pius excommunicated a shitload of Catholics with Communist ties.

          I can confirm this, I’m former catholic who recently left the church, don’t be surprised if an catholic online keeps bashing on communists, I’ve seen a catholic saying all leftist should have death penalty for “trying to kill 10% of population “ or whatever the hell this means, also the only argument catholic have against communism is “duh Most of Popes condemned socialism “ and further yap,

            My grandparents are/were catholic, but I’ve turned them into hardcore communists, and my despite me being atheist, my grandma thinks that alot of communist ideals are far more inline with Christ’s teachings than anything the Church preaches

                Same here. What’s the point of human civilization/society, if it’s not to enjoy our lives, make sure everyone is taken care of, cause the least amount of harm possible, have fun, and uplift each other?

              Seems like this is accurate ,l I’ve seen a lot of Christian’s Especially from Protestant and Anglican Churches Who are religious and Unironically Marxist-Leninist, something that gives me hope. I guess

                I’m the biggest hater of religion and a staunch atheist. But I will admit that I have a modicrum of respect for liberation theology, and find it beautiful.

                And I stan the fuck out of Hezbollah and Hamas and John Brown.
