China is a shining example of a government with am too much power. This is why we have a constitution.
DisgruntledFerret
Is Maitreya Bhakal trying to defend China here? It's a dictatorship, doofus. Good luck mincing as many words as you can around that.
Rulweylan
China doesn't 'tolerate' minorities it 'forces them into horrific concentration camps and murders them for their organs'
CatsUpvoteTerror
Yes everything sounds worse when you phrase it to sound worse
VodkaReindeer
I'm not sure if OP is commenting on what China is doing or how China's actions are being reported.
TmlpGfdp
They have the power consumer gave them.
lucidnightmaring
I just wish the Chinese would leave the official ark servers.
WhoCaresMan4realz
Did you mean china or trump?

"But that's not real socialism"

They’ve learned from the best
DontAxeMe
And yet so many in the U.S. want to adopt those same systems.. smh
Youhavinagiraffe
Does China have private hospitals?
WhereDoesThePoopGo
The US does 3 out of 4 of these.
36roentgen
America doesn't do 1 or 2, it has been doing 3 more often in recent history, and America is only doing 4 to itself.
Dagordae
4 of 4. In emergencies we can nationalize private businesses. And the increase in centralized power is the current norm. Frankly, this list
Dagordae
Is just wordplay. I know China sucks, but don’t pretend they are unique and special. They’re just less subtler
Avialle
The US uses the last one like since forever...

China on the offensive!
DaveFitz1996
Seeing a lot of people entirely missing the point of this tweet. It's about Western media using misleading words for normal actions by China
DaveFitz1996
E.g. 'Purge' for when China is just firing officials has negative historical connotations and is pretty misleading for this situation.

I mean you could say that Kavannagh getting the Supreme Court position is "Oligarch appoints accused rapist to highest national court"
FailedCrate
In any persons defense with a decent dosage of common sense: You don't have to take their money. You greedy idiot.
owlest
you realize this guy is pro China right?
DrIvoRobotnik
Yeah as it turns out authoritarian governments are just universally kind of terrible
harambedaycare
Pretty sure that last one is America's job
F234K
It's China. And? We can't do shit, so why bitch?
CatsUpvoteTerror
Things sound worse depending how you phrase them.

The Chinese Communist Party is not China, they're a terrorist organization that occupies the territory.
MarcoPolaris
Don't we already do enough to sap actual meaning out of every political term without jumping to "governments we don't like are terrorists" ?
Asteroidrules
We decided ISIS isn't a legitimate government, there's no reason we should do different for the CCP considering how much worse they are.
Dagordae
No true Scotsman? Which China’s the real one then? Can’t be the Taiwanese Chinese, they came into power in the same way as the current guys.
Youhavinagiraffe
The government controlling the country is not the same as the country itself, especially in countries that aren't democratic.
Youhavinagiraffe
I think the point is that "Fuck China" potentially alienates Chinese citizens in a way that "Fuck the CCP" doesn't.
Amuzaulo
This meme is actually from a pro-china page. It's claiming that Western countries do the same actions but use softer words to describe them.
Appleofglass
I was gonna say that. America does this shit just pretends it’s okay by changing the terminology. Like brainwashing?
Bauxiet
isn't it about how reporting on China uses those words to describe things? like china 'seized' hospitals in response to the Corona virus
rosso65
well capitalism only works off the exploitation of the most poor, so..
ekzeko
A lot of people missed that by a mile.
UltimaRatio
That's some much-needed context!
Josefbugman1543
I mean I thought that too. I don't agree as China sucks, but it does raise some interesting parallels.
Appleofglass
China sucks. Sure. But that’s just because they dont lie about it lol
NinjaCongo
Fuck pro-China page! Pro-China page is asshoe!
Josefbugman1543
Is this meant to be critical of China or critical of how China is reported? It's like a magic eye picture but for politics.
kolfacekilla
that was my thought. similar to this discussion that was floating around years ago -

Weird dichotomy picking "strengthen laws" and "concentrate power". There's a lot of daylight between the two concepts.
Asteroidrules
Yeah, like the fact that the PRC doesn't have rule of law to begin with.
WaveMotionGum
Yea, I'm saying....why lie when the truth is plenty damning.
