I didn’t click your link but even you wouldn’t be spreading the conspiracy theory of secret global police that kidnap random yellow people for the cpc, right?
Wait, that’s a hoax? Fucking TV news, even reposted on youtube where you have trouble telling who’s who, they manage to convince people of shit.
I’ll be clear though, the CCP is not to be unconditionally trusted. If you wouldn’t want a random person you never met to be suddenly world dictator, why trust an oligarchy that has proven they refuse to admit fallibility when they do fuck up? Tianamen square is - regardless of what you believe - no different than the people calling it with conspiracy theories about the US (or the whole “Global West”) and “a secret cabal of social elites” (and even if there is no cabal, look where we are now?).
The reason to not forget history is not because you can prevent it from repeating. It’s there so we can punish leaders who set themselves up to benefit from it repeating, because we all know where this is leading. Someone is going to commit the last straw, and the bloodbath against leadership in every country in retaliation for exploiting the masses cannot be stopped.
After that, I can’t forsee society recovering. We don’t want to recover. Too many people just want to murder anyone who, regardless of whether the victim deserved it, doesn’t fit into their worldview. Saying they deserved it doesn’t make it so. They only deserve it if they want to punish collectives for things, and most of the people who want to kill someone hate collectives, not individuals.
I hate Trump, Vance and Musk, but I don’t instantly jump to the conclusion that everyone’s already allied with them in the government. The purge is happening, but it’s not yet complete and it’s not too late to fight back.
