秦始皇帝

At no point have I ever said you can’t criticise China (I have many critiques from the hukou issues to mundane shit like the reliance on land use financing) and certainly never said you couldn’t criticise Israel (given it’s a genocidal settler colonial project) simply that happy merchant posting and it’s equivalent are not criticism and are racist. Do you really disagree with this?

I really don’t understand why you and the other poster feel the need to bend over backwards to justify what was clearly a racist outburst. It’s really disappointing to see the wider fediverse really is no better than Reddit in some regards.

Wanna tell me how it’s antisemitic to say genocide is bad?

Another fun strawman. Could you please point out where I said anything like that? All I said was that happy merchant posters weren’t calling out Israel but instead simply anti-Semites which is true. In the same way the original comment I replied to was not calling out China but simply being a racist both through using a meme built on racism and using it to imply some crypto-chinese nature of the comment they were replying to that mentioned China exactly 0 times.

Nice strawman bigot. Going to defend happy merchant posters next as simply calling out Israel?

“calling out China”

By sending a “meme” with a clear racist history making clear racist implications in response to a comment where China is mentioned exactly 0 times.

You are defending the equivalent of someone sending the “happy merchant” “meme” in response to a comment of an American explaining why they believe what they do. Irregardless of your thoughts on what the person had to say that would be antisemitic for the same reasons this one is sinophobic. Clear racist implications of the person being some crypto-ethincity, and the massive racist history behind the “meme”.

I have reached exactly 0 times. They responded to a comment that mentioned China exactly 0 times with a “meme” that has a clearly racist background, while clearly making a racialised implication of some sort of crypto-chinese nature of the person they were responding to. There was no criticism to be found just a racist lashout and you policing how a Chinese person should react to this clearly racist act.

If you think the Chinese state is going to disappear people over a copy pasted meme, that’s telling of your opinion of China.

You really didn’t read what I actually said and it’s telling. The idea that they would and the ignorance to laugh about it is part of what makes it racist. I don’t believe my government would do this because they don’t it’s a western racist fantasy folded into memes such as this.

I don’t think they would do that, I only think China would block it from the firewall and hide people from seeing such content.

This is not how the firewall or any firewall for that matter works.

You’re really bending over backwards to defend this racist knee jerk lash out.

Lashing out against China and Chinese people with a meme who’s entire comedic value is condemning Chinese people to nebulous terrible fates (despite how you try whitewash it) is certainly not racist/s (not to mind the clearly racialised implication of being an ML somehow making you some sort of crypto-chinese) I hope you also police others on what is and isn’t racism against their people. Big defender of birth of a nation perhaps? You’re disgusting as you keep trying to pivot and defend this clear cut racist lashout.

Yeah if you posted that it wouldn’t have the same effect of a “meme” who’s entire background is how funny it is that the person they’re sending it to will “disappear” and laughing about how you imagine you’ve condemned them to some nebulous terrible fate. Not to mind the massive ignorance required to believe such nonsense not to mind laughing about it. Genuinely bending over backwards to justify a random sinophobic lashout. I understand we are “designated evil (serfs/bugs/brainwashed)™” but it’s genuinely disgusting. I wish I could say it’s surprising but my time on Reddit and on the wider fediverse unfortunately makes that untrue.

If that’s not what that reply is then what is it? Keeping in mind that China was not mentioned a single time in the comment they were replying to. It is so clearly sinophobic kneejerk vomit. If when discussing capitalism someone replied with the equivalent of fuck black people despite them not being mentioned a single time would that not be racism? Genuinely baffled that anyone could defend this.

This is a totally hinged reply (to a thought out sincere comment that doesn’t even mention China) that doesn’t at all have any racial undertones or betray your true feelings about certain peoples /s
