I think this is very idealistic and ignores the crushing pressure of US global influence campaigns. Most of these “freedom and democracy” protest groups are seeded by and funded by State Department subsidiaries like the National Endowment for Democracy and have the explicit purpose of inciting enthnonationalism in strategic regions of geopolitical rivals with the ultimate goal of balkanization, immiseration, and exploitation of their working classes. You only need to look at what happened to Yugoslavia to understand that they are working from a template. They’ve done this hundreds of times before!
Upholding liberal democratic values does not translate to democracy. In fact, it usually leads to the opposite as exemplified by every liberal democratic country’s unyielding support for Israel.
The US is actually currently illegally sanctioning the Xinjiang region in an attempt to immiserate the local population and reactivate their wahabbist terrorist cells. Of course, the Xinjiang region is coincidentally the most important region for the belt and road initiative as it pertains to west Asia, which is the most important region for US hegemony because of the uh, oil.
This might seem unrelated to democracy, but it’s actually one of the major reasons why western academia is so obsessed with democratic purity. That’s because it is the main lever of power that the US and its predecessor Britain have used to internally fuck with any country they want.
These protests only represent and further the interests of American oligarchs like Thiel, Bezos and Musk


looks like the US tugged on the leash


The majority of chinese people hate separatism, so I don’t see how any of these separatist protests are democratic


At this point they’re just handing out free advertisement
I wonder if they have something big in the works for autistic people like they do for trans people


By the time any of these mines or refineries come online, lithium ion batteries will be being replaced by sodium ion for the larger EV and storage batteries. Besides that, America hardly manufactures phones or laptops.


A democrat controlled congress will surely prevent the US from unleashing its trillion dollar military upon the world, right guys?


idk man, he’s such a good entry point for western supremacist liberals like I was because of his bougieness and relative ineptness at marxist materialist interpretations. I also think he’s made a lot of concessions to remain platformed and even become integrated into the democratic party structure (like china under deng uwu). I’m probably also overestimating him because of the Spongebob-Patrick effect where he sounds like a genius when surrounded by so many rich liberals.


The fact that you’ve commented four times on this thread says otherwise.
I’m out here practicing my dunking and agitprop to mixed results. How can you even call yourself a leftist if you’re so allergic to basic inquiry?


validate yourself first by at least trying to make an argument! We’re on a leftist political board here!
China is responsible for lifting 800 million people out of extreme poverty over the past 40 years (3 times more than the rest of the world combined) western source: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-new-report-looks-at-lessons-from-china-s-experience?sharetype=link
During that same time the US has forced tens of millions into poverty through unilateral sanctions and unending wars.
Comparing the two makes you sound like 


I don’t think that the lenin-loving china-glazing hasan piker is a liberal

To prove it’s a strawman, tell me what China is “bad” for that I can’t quote literally Marco Rubio saying

I think America is evil, but unquestioningly believe what they say about their rivals.
This is a coherent world view! Hail Satan!
