乖乖听话 小同志，Cowbee 老师 在讲课！(Listen here young comrades, Mr. Cowbee is teaching us a valuable lesson!) /s

The ruling class of China is the proletariat?

Surely they have never been to China.

I mean... I surely don't mean to imply that most countries are much better in this regard, the US least of all, but come on.

cultural genocide against the Uyghurs

That’s not a real thing.

dilutes Tibetan culture and wants to

Show me the Tibetans who miss living as illiterate serfs under autocratic feudalism and I’ll show you the CIA-backed, “suck my tongue” royal family and its deputies.

The genocide denial is coming from inside the house.

yes, china is proletariat, very smart

Cowbee giving a lesson on why anarchism should be the goal, and then whiplashing that into support of authoritarianism. Great job. Very praxis.

taiwan not seeking independence

Because they literally can't. Like, imma point a gun at your forehead and tell you to not yell or i'll shoot, would you yell?

Cowbee is an idiot that only took guided tour as a white person and then say nothing is wrong.

I have not spoken to every 中国人

But I am quite sure that cowbee has not spoken to any of them.

In order to eliminate class, we must support the advancement of a class.

Neat!

Legitimately, though I'd love it if a tankie was brave enough to come into this thread to explain why Western nations have better working conditions and more worker rights than those of China.

focus on listening more than anything else

... because what you say might get you disappeared.

Ah yes

All states are authoritarian

"China is a democratic country"

I have seen things like this lately, like "communism is democratic", I wonder if there is some specific agenda behind it.

i'm sorry but i'm downvoting for absolutely cursed mandarin even though i disagree with this cowbee claim.

1. YOU DON'T USE SPACES 😭 (unless you do fullwidth spaces between every character, which is the chinese version of mIxEd CaSe). to signal a pause just use the chinese comma instead. though for orthographical reasons many people often put spaces between latin-ish things (alphabet, digits) and characters which is completely fine and in fact i prefer it
2. 小同志 is not— it just IS NOT! it's also singular instead of matching the much butter english's pluraling, which would add a -们 to the end and create the sense of patronizing community. not sure what you would replace it but maybe 同学们 ((my dear) students) or 少先队员们 (Young Pioneers, the CPC youth league's youth league. membership for elementary students is all but socially mandatory) might do.
3. i don't think you say ”讲课“ here? it's definitely a verb that exists but it just feels wrong here. maybe ”上课“
4. idk why but i feel like this scenario should use the past perfect -了 (has-- -ed) 'stead of the present continuous 在- (is- -ing) in chinese. if you use the past perfect you can change the final characters to 开堂了
5. 乖乖听话 is not "listen here", it's... literally "be obedient" but in a sense that it's a juvenilizing phrase often used it on pets and kindergarteners. like the command you say before they do it and you say "good boy". outside of that it has slight dom/sub sexual connotations. the closest thing to a mocking "listen here" is the quite long “大家伙儿走过路过不要错过，快来看一看，瞧一瞧——”. i'd just omit it while adding the pluralization

I always link this classic whenever someone throws in the "just ask people in China".

I mean on the second paragraph, they're not entirely wrong. Chinese citizens do generally seem satisfied with the country and the quality of life there could be far worse. China isn't democratic on a national level, it does have local elections with approved candidates.

It just depends how much you care about your freedom of speech, which is a common western value.

Personally, I think the status quo on China isn't too bad.
