BUT MUH CHINA NARRITIVE! THEY REMEDUCATED WEEGORS! THATS THE SAME AS JENNI-SIDE! TINY MAN SQUARE! TINY MAN SQUARE! /s

Seriously though, if Tiannamen Square (which, I fully believe happened btw) is enough for you to write off China now, why the fuck do you support a goddamn thing America does?

Who the fuck is saying they support anything America does? Shit, they've got Trump lined up with Hitler.

The answer is apparently Mao but I would have guessed the leader of Japan based on who the first two are.

I’m sorry I don’t recognize historical figures.

The second is Stalin, not Mussolini.

Then I recommend that you sit down for a study session on world events in the 20th century, with focus on the 1930-1940s. It might be very helpful in understanding current events.

This is no different than the Double genocide theory, a form of Holocaust trivialization.

Mao and Stalin comitted atrocities, but equating them to the other 4 fascists is insane.

Double genocide theory (Lithuanian: Dvigubo genocido požiūris, lit. 'Double genocide approach') is a term used to refer to the claim that the atrocities committed by the Soviet Union against Eastern Europeans constitute a genocide that was equivalent in scale and nature to the Holocaust, in which approximately six million Jews were systematically murdered by Nazi Germany. The theory first gained popularity in Lithuania after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, particularly in discussions about the Holocaust in Lithuania.[2]

Trump can't be Hitler. That's giving him WAY too much credit. Trump is a buffoon.

Edit, I ran it through Mistral AI and got a similar pairing...

Vladimir Putin → Joseph Stalin (Authoritarian rule, cult of personality, expansionist tendencies)
Xi Jinping → Mao Zedong (Centralized power, personality cult, national rejuvenation)
Donald Trump → Benito Mussolini (Populist rhetoric, nationalist appeal, contentious relationship with media/opposition)
Narendra Modi → Winston Churchill (Nationalist leadership, strong oratory, global assertiveness)
Emmanuel Macron → Charles de Gaulle (Modernizer, nationalist vision, emphasis on independence)
Kim Jong-un → Adolf Hitler (Totalitarian control, personality cult, extreme suppression)
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan → Francisco Franco (Erosion of democratic norms, strongman image, religious/nationalist appeal)
Joe Biden → Franklin D. Roosevelt (Steady leadership, alliance-building, focus on recovery)
Ali Khamenei → Emperor Hirohito (Religious/political authority, symbolic and real power)
Olaf Scholz → Konrad Adenauer (Pragmatic, consensus-driven, economic stability)
