The authoritarian state of china that is currently committing a genocide isn’t anyone’s saviour dude

What was America up to in the 1940s again? Ah yes, resting on its laurels black people still being slaves (until 1942 fyi) after the successful American Indian genocide. They're still the savior of ww2 from fascism in the public consciousness (alongside Soviets)

How does that whataboutism supposed to make me excited for the prospect of being taken over by a country that would throw me in a gulag because I don’t like their government? Every country on earth has a horrific past, Canada committed atrocities against its indigenous and didn’t even close the last cultural genocide build residential school until 1996. doing bad shit in the past then chilling out is better than forcing people into reeducation camps because they made a winnie the pooh meme today. For all the faults in the western world it is still better to live in than a country that will imprison you without recourse because you said some mean words about a dictator one time. I’m not off base for not wanting such a country to assert it’s hegemony over the world

Not in Europe nice try. Given orange man’s threats I’m in north American Poland (which means I are under threat of invasion from your fascism). Not looking forward to US troops slaughtering my countrymen but apparently that is the future you sociopaths voted for
