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.
I’ve noticed this as well and it’s infuriating. Literally had one Chinese liberal in a group doing everything in their power to segue group conversations to some “China bad” topic. Always twisting the truth and selectively leaving stuff out, short of telling outright lies. Like one example: they grew up in China, so they know social credit score isn’t a thing, but still mentioned banning people from travelling first class om trains or something similar, with the underlying assumption that this is just one example of the “social credit score” because that’s what someone had mentioned previously. Or one time they said how they never got to vote in any election, conveniently leaving out the fact that they weren’t of voting age when living there (that came out later). Or another time they repeated all the tinyman square massacre crap. Also turns out their family is filthy rich but lost some due to some unspecified misfortunes with their businesses. Smells like classic gusano.
This too, the westerners in that group love getting all their racist views confirmed by that Chinese person (who also made tons of racist blanket statements about Chinese people being this or that bad thing). They don’t even question it. They swallow the Yeonmi Park-level of bullshit immediately. And that Chinese person loves the attention they’re getting.
I thought this person was an outlier but sounds like they’re the norm.
