      Comrade Gang has merely come down with a case of outspokenness which unfortunately lead to a terminal case of lead poisoning.

    If China didn’t make cheap shit we’d treat them with the same relevancy as any other country you can’t think of

    Stop giving money to oppressive and evil empires

    Is this all just about him having a very public affair or is there more to it? This guy is getting the Trotsky treatment over just that?

      You’re calling 1984 anti-semitic because of Emmanuel Goldstein, aren’t you? Way to totally miss the point of why Orwell chose that name for that “character.”

      Given that your very first piece of evidence of how CNN lies about China is them saying tiananmen square happened, and your “disproof” is just a link to a random website entirely devoted to denying the massacre happened, it’s pretty clear why you’re not exactly getting a positive response

      Edit: The second disproof is literally just the Chinese government saying it isn’t true, which isn’t exactly thorough evidence

      If you exclusively take the statements of a government as unquestionable truth, you’re going to be wrong a lot, regardless of which government you choose

      Yes the country that censors everything, everyone, and has an entire setup to stifle information is the good guy
