oppression of tibetans and uyghurs that’s ten times worse than what israel does to palestinians but also a million times less known or condemned

There's been a big Free Tibet movement for a while, but I've never heard of what they're doing to the Uyghurs so you're right about that.

who's justifying racism? i'm saying there's a difference between individualized or cultural racism and racism in the actual political infrastructure of a country. drawing that distinction doesn't make one "good" compared to another

So what you're saying is, non-Han in China are well-represented in government unlike minorities here, have similar economic conditions to Han, are treated fairly by the justice system, are not the target of other discrminatory written or unwritten institutional practices, etc

Just wipe out global communications, JC. I know it sounds bad, but people will be forced to become engaged in their local communities. The city itself will be the basis of new polities which will have greater cause to cooperate with each other in a new enlightened age.

Historically the inability to communicate fomented distrust between communities, which was often the basis of conflict. How do we know that the historical processes of state, nation, and empire building won't repeat themselves in a world where people can no longer relate to foreigners?

Oh I assumed everybody here knew it already. It's because it's one of the catchphrases people are using to criticize the Party removing term limits to let Xi be president forever. They have various ways ways of lowkey saying he wants to be a dictator like the phrase "boarding a plane" because it's a pun on "ascending to the throne" and all of them are getting censored

Depends on what you mean by "centrist." If Keynesian, I agree. If neoliberal, you gotta check yourself
