You are the true conqueror of my heart - Lemmy

Here’s a pro tip from a German: To make everyone forget about your colonial past and the atrocities you commited in your colonies, you just have to commit even bigger atrocities.

Or you just deny it ever happened/was a problem.

Seems to be working out for China.

Nah, European colonialism in China is pretty well remembered.
what happened? i only know hongkong was british colony

Western powers carved up and subjugated China for around a century, and they were finally kicked out by the communists

Century of humiliation - Wikipedia

Can we please stop referring to China as communist? It was only every communist in name. Just like Nazis were only ever socialist in name.

Maybe learn a bit about China before making ignorant statements like this. Here’s a book you could read and maybe learn something about the subject you’re opining on redletterspp.com/products/the-east-is-still-red

edit: I love how a lot of westerners made hating China their identity without learning a first thing about it, I guess it’s easier to swallow having to live in capitalist hell if you believe that nothing better is possible
