Much meme potential in that video.

Believe it or not, that song is from the governing party of Kerala, the state with the highest human development index in the whole drat country.

I haven't met a lot of far-left from other countries but the ones I have met go waaaaaaaaaaay left and the countries they come from might surprise you. Morocco, India, etc. TAKE YOUR GRUBBY AMERICAN MITTS OFF CUBA.

And people who weren't way left but I would assume they weren't left at all, like the 58-year-old Korean dude who I met playing tennis, who wired helicopter harnesses for a living and spent a lot of his time volunteering at his church, was a big fan of Thomas Piketty.

It's really simple: the main argument of replacement paranoiacs is that muslims will move into European countries and replace the native Europeans, right? But even if Muslims did move to Europe en masse, and natives were a statistical minority - they wouldn't have "replaced" the natives. There's no genocide or ethnic cleansing going on, there's no "replacement." The natives are still there. The assumption that because indigenous people are now slightly less than the majority population, is tantamount to an ethnic cleansing, is literal replacement paranoia.

Mass arrests as collective punishment for terrorist activity is bad, but it's not an ethnic cleansing, and the Chinese government isn't "destroying their culture." China also doesn't have a high bar for protection of speech like the United States or the UK does, so they have no qualms about prosecuting people just for using radical rhetoric, which is a big element in these mass arrests. You can take issue with that as a political crime, but it's not an ethnic cleansing. You just keep making all these weak assertions by using bad analogies.

I get why Home Ex would want to become a citizen if he wants to join the CCP, but otherwise I fail to see how it's all that important. It's not as if being a Chinese citizen confers inalienable human rights or anything.

i have no interest in citizenship or cpc membership, or even a green card, though that would be convenient.

There used to be a blog that translated weird stuff from the Chinese internet. They found a thread once that was a guy posting that since he couldn't get a wife he would be helping the Americans when they invaded.

There were other yankophile posts too from people who argued that everything in America was better than China. Some of these were hilariously wrong about things like America's high speed passenger rail network.

I've acknowledged that Chinese people can in fact be racist, but I did make a joke that Chinese Xenophobia is somewhat justifiable considering their history of foreign humiliation and colonization.

This was a good joke because Qing refusal to treat with foreigners on equal terms was the root cause of those humiliations.

does China's actions in Africa and the Spratlys constitute imperialism?

If yes, is there a wing of leftism that acknowledges this, the way they do, say, American imperialism?

I'm wary of jumping to conclusions insofar as handwringing about dredging ships creating new missile bases in the South China Sea is almost exclusively a right-wing talking point

it is a big right wing talking point, but it is legitimately an issue of china trying to bully small nations, so it can steal oil resources in their EEZ

the islands aren't the issue, they're not themselves that threatening, it's that they're used as part of a claim to chip into other countries rightful zone
