Unless you happen to live in corporeal reality, in which case it matters quite a lot

"During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum."

"The fact that there is no evidence of adrenochrome baby-eating rings just proves how good they are at hiding it"

Ignore the genocide that y’all love to lie about.

That's the one who's only sources is literal CIA radio free Asia cutouts and one Mr Adrian, "I am on a mission from God to destroy Beijing" Zenz, correct? The one funded by NED money? Whose "local" front organization is straight-up headquartered in Washington DC?If we're lying about that, shouldn't you be able to prove it? Gaza is the most heavily controlled and censored place on earth, yet I still see daily video of the killing. Xinjiang is an open tourist mecca that saw 300 million visitors from around the world last year, yet nobody has seen one shred of violence. Make it make sense for me, cultist.

Ignore the oppression of their own citizens.

I watched four riot cops break a college kid's arm right in front of me for being against Palestinian genocide. And then shitlibs like you insisted I had to vote for the genocide to continue, or else I wanted the genocide to continue. Choke on your hypocrisy, fascist-in-denial.

fascist takeover of Hong Kong

It's so cute when you try to use big words you don't understand. Fascism is when you legally take reposession of your own territory that was taken from you by open, rapacious colonialists. Fascism is when ethnic Russians in Ukraine call for help against the literal US-backed nazis terrorizing them for a decade. If you were around for WW2, your smug, know-nothing supremacist ass would have been calling every allied victory fascist, because you don't know shit about shit.

Ignore that only their approved candidates can hold office.

What the fuck does this mean?? Yeah, you have to be voted into office to hold it. No shit? "Oh but the CCP-" shut up. The CPC has over nine million members, and is the largest of nine political parties in the People's Republic of China. It enjoys a 95% satisfaction rate among the people there so unless you want to argue that they're all just too stupid to understand how bad their lives actually are without the freedoms of crushing medical debt and gambling app, I suggest you look to Occam's Razor and entertain the notion that perhaps you have been propagandized to thoughtless repeat these vague and sinister-sounding canards, that you and I who live in the biggest anticommunist propaganda bubble history has ever seen, actually know very little for sure about the enemies of the rich pedophiles who own us.

Both are godawful nations

And here we reach the inevitable conclusion of liberal analysis, the ultimate course of liberal praxis: do nothing, sit smugly in despair, make no practical choices, shit our pants and wait for fascism to kill us all. But hey, at least by doing nothing but symbolic art-protests at the gestapo as they kneel us before the trench, we can await the bullet with the knowledge that we were never tainted by the dirty work of actually building an alternative, unlike those filthy tankies.

Liberal epistemology is a joke, liberal ideology is a genocidal self-deluding joke, and the reason liberalism is being eaten alive from both ends by both communists and fascists is because it's not actually designed to understand power, only to hypocritically excuse it when it's exercised against humanity by a handful or western billionaires and condemn it when it's exercised against the billionaires by the organized masses of humanity. Free Palestine, long live the Chinese People's Revolution, Death to America.

So both sides bad. Good media consumer; stay paralyzed by hopelessness.

It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

The reason the rich & powerful put so much effort into shoving that bullshit down our throats is that the truth threatens their legitimacy. We’re not supposed to see that a better world is possible.

Yes, the US -and most Western media- lie about the genocide in Gaza, but what does this have to do with the British Empire takeover of Hong Kong?
