    Anytime I read someone use the CCP to contrast the American government positively, I’m like are we just ignoring the US’s current active bombings and trade embargos to starve populations of other nations and the others in the last century

      All they care about is them and theirs. Everyone outside the border is disposable and less than human.

      They imagine being a low income Chinese citizen working in a factory and think “I’d rather be living in America”. There’s no nuance, they can’t even put themselves in the shoes of people struggling in the US, it’s their own fault after all…

      Progranda is powerful.

      This is a gross simplification and it sounds like demagoguery to me.

      There are many well structured/thought out reasons why you would view US governance (in the general sense) in a more positive light than the CCP and this is true even if you are not American and aren’t subject to their locks propaganda.

      Framing everyone who holds that view as being ignorant or provincial really undermines your arguement.

      But what really gives you away is framing US involvement in Korea as an invasion of North Korea in the same vein as the invasion of Iraq.
