    Dunno, seeing the rise of far rights parties in Europe feels more like it’s trying not to tear itself apart…

      Many Jedi struggled much with the temptations of the Dark Side.

    Divide and conquer. Why fight the entire countries or even the union of those three and not some fraction?

    The last time the US, Russia and China fought together they fought Nazis, not Germany. Europe should only fight fractions of those countries.

    Europe provided at least 30%[1] of the foreign weapons used in the genocide in Gaza. China provided 0. Why is Europe the good side?

      If that’s the metric for good or evil, take a look at how much of the equipment of the Tatmadaw (Myanmar’s military) and the Arakan Army (a faction in the civil war) was from China while they conduct the Rohingya genocide

        Yeah, you’re actually right about that. China has a bad track record of supporting genocidal governments in SEA, like with the Khmer Rouge.

        The scale of the genocide in Gaza is much larger than the Rohingya genocide, though, so it’s still inappropriate to call Europe the “good side” as compared to China.

          Are you really going to make an argument based on which of two genocides had bigger numbers?

            No, I’m willing to admit that what China did is really horrible and can rightfully justify putting them as Darth Vader in the meme. I’m saying that Europe doesn’t get to be Luke.

        Quite a few. Does that make them culpable for a genocide?

          In Xinjiang I believe they’re enjoying a pretty fantastic rate of development and industrialization.

          Weird way to write “being repressed, being subject to forced labour, ideological and political “reeducation”, being restricted in exercising their religious beliefs to the point of muslim names being prohibited, being subject to abuse and internment, etc. pp, all that to degrees where several experts classify CCPs course against Uighurs in Xinjiang as a genocide.”

          Fuck off, tankie.

                  That’s not a quote. Why do you think that’s a quote?

                  This is how a quote would look like.

                  Also, there is no claim of genocide. There is a claim that several experts say it’s a genocide.

      And there are calls to stop doing it. It is legal, published, and you can run a platform on it.

      Unlike in China if e.g. you oppose them helping Russia.

        It’s not legal to be critical of the state of Israel in a general sense in Germany, at least. You can be jailed for comparing Israel to the Nazis, for calling for the dissolution of the state of Israel, or for various other anti-Zionist positions. I mean, here’s Ursula Von Der Leyen telling protesters ‘in Russia you would be arrested’ while they were actively being arrested for their political position.

        Meanwhile, I read criticism of Chinese foreign policy all the time. @QinShiHuangsShlong@hexbear.net, @CloutAtlas@hexbear.net, @Flyberius@hexbear.net and @xiaohongshu@hexbear.net are Hexbear accounts that are users from China who post about their criticisms of Chinese foreign policy.

          Nice! What party in China can we vote for that promotes sanctions on Russia and joining the ICC? What party promotes lifting the Great Firewall or criticizes openly the seizing of power by Xi?
