    It doesn’t matter who said it. There isn’t a company or a government that is your “friend”. They’re all out to squeeze you

      China has never done anything wrong to my country while the US has and continues to do so, how insane you have to be to group them together.

      You should probably stop unquestionably believing everything the US says about its enemies then

          The fact that you only do this “all lives matter!” style equivocation in one direction.

          Fuck ALL corporations. Fuck ALL governments. Is that clear enough?

          Oh? So can I get a “fuck the government of Ukraine”? How about “fuck the government of Taiwan.” How about “Fuck the republican party AND the Democratic party, neither of them are your friend, they’re both out to squeeze you”? (The last one being very different from what you were saying during the election, where, for some reason, your “everyone is bad, maaaan!” stance was nowhere to be seen…)

            Do you just believe people can’t be anarchists…? Cause that guy just seems to be an anarchist.

              To be an anarchist you actually have to consistently hold anarchist positions. Not being a liberal 99% of the time and only bringing out the facade of anarchism when you need to justify acting like a western chauvinist.

              You can’t be an anarchist and a fanatical supporter of the democratic party at the same time

          It’s clear that you equate an empire’s atrocities with their victim country’s self defense.

          Saying “all governments are equally bad” while the US is bombing them outright or funding their destruction is tone-deaf.

              Classic US foreign policy propaganda. It’s not Uyghurs, it’s specific fanatical jihadi separatists among Uyghurs who made a guest appearance among the other head choppers in Syria after the government fell and are openly looking for international support to do the same in China. You’re completely wrong if you think that all Uyghurs want to live under Sharia law in some Uyghurstan.

              You’re basically an ISIS supporter.

              The majority of the world, notably Islamic countries, who’ve been bombed by US and british planes for almost a century now, disagree with you. Only the countries aligned with the US empire are buying this line.

              You can also just go to Xinjiang, and see for yourself, unlike the main person peddling this narrative, Adrian Zenz, an anti-semitic evangelical who works for the US government, and doesn’t speak a word of mandarin.

                Countries don’t say anything, humans do.

                Notably most Islamic countries are regimes pretty fine with letting some Muslims die for their profit.

                Also notably most of the yellow on this map is economically dependent on China, especially in the light of it being a counterweight to the USA.

                Also notably the majority of anything saying this or that doesn’t tell anything about the truth.

                That is, your comment has no value on the subject, I just decided to show you some of your logical mistakes.

                  And here comes the extreme orientalism and chauvinism. Those damn Muslims can’t be trusted, only the noble White Man can be trusted to tell the truth, after all, their love for Muslims is well known…
