What are you talking about? Every single information source in the United States is always constantly talking about how great the PRC is, whether it’s in schools, on television, on websites (especially Reddit), on the radio, from think tanks, and so on. A perspective like ‘China also invests in genocide and mass detention, torture, surveillance and rape’ should blow your mind away: nobody has ever said that before! How can you read that and remain unpersuaded‽
I miss the days when antisemitism was accusing Jews of being avaricious, dishonest conspirators responsible for nearly every bad thing that happens. Now it’s all boring stuff like saying ‘from the river to the sea’, ‘ceasefire now’, and ‘maybe sending children to a military detention center isn’t a good idea’.
Yeah, when you make easily falsifiable claims like ‘memorials or to draw attention to the deeds, not to honor it’, it is pretty clear that you did not read a damn thing that I linked to you, proving that you don’t care about Fascism after all. Thanks for the confirmation.
Feel free to keep goofing around here but I’m done with you.
I am giving you a very simple and very easy test so that you can demonstrate to everybody your reading comprehension and your ability to engage in conversation. You are neither required to divulge any personally identifiable information nor depart with any possessions. Now I am going to ask you for the third and final time: tell me what I wrote at the bottom of this comment.
Máo was particularly annoyed by the Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus, 树麻雀) part of the diet of which was grain. Chinese scientists had calculated that each sparrow consumed 4.5kg of grain each year — and that for every million sparrows killed, there would be food for 60,000 people. Armed with these statistics, Máo launched the Great Sparrow Campaign to address the problem.
[…]
The campaign against the sparrows was finally terminated in late 1959 when the Academy of Sciences leaders highlighted the findings of scientists such as Zhu Xi and Zheng Zuoxin. Zhu and Zheng had autopsied the digestive systems of sparrows and found that three-quarters of the contents were harmful insects and only one-quarter was human food. This showed that sparrows were beneficial for humans.
On this advice from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Máo declared a complete halt to the Great Sparrow Campaign, replacing sparrows with “bed bugs” in the “Four Pests” campaign. Suddenly sparrows were not just protected but the domestic population was supplemented by imports of sparrows from [Soviet] Russia!
Eventually, after several years of poor crop yields, the situation began to improve. The number of people who starved in the 1958–1961 famine is disputed — and it’s impossible to say how much of the disaster was caused by the extermination of sparrows — but there can be no doubt that this episode is a stark lesson about the unintended consequences of human interference into natural ecosystems.
No, I’m giving you a very simple request: tell me what I wrote at the bottom of my comment. Copy the text and paste it in your next reply to me. You know how to copy and paste text, right?
Clearly, the answer is to go the way of the Revolutionary Government Junta of El Salvador and make voting compulsory on pain of death. I’m sure that if centrists, neoclassical liberals, and white moderates watched Oliver Stone’s Salvador, they’d think that that system is a great idea. If anything, they’d say that summarily executing people for lacking a voter permit is being too nice to them.
