    China isn’t perfect, no country is or has ever been. But I do think there’s a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about China, deliberate and accidental.

      OP uncritically defends china/russia/other communistic-ish autocracies. Their point isn’t some nuanced argument on china, it is literally “US/West Bad” — like it’s almost funny how OP is actually doing what the meme shows just in reverse.

        The US is bad, comically so. We’ve got military bases on every continent, we’ve been at war constantly for our entire 2+ century existence, we’ve got the largest prison population on earth and explicit legal allowance for prison slave labor, we’re the only country ever to use nukes and we used them both on fucking civilians, I could go on but I’ve already made my point and it’s probably wasted on you anyway.

    • China bad

    • Islam bad and dumb

    • Communism and socialism bad

    • Capitalism good (and make sure you know NOTHING regarding economic theories!)

    • Women dumb

    • Non-Europeans (ethnically, and even then the Germanic tribes are at the top of the chain [Anglo-Saxons included, evidently]) bad and/or dumb

    • Gays bad

    • Christianity good (only when antithetical to the message of Jesus)

    • (white) America good

    • Israel good

    Have I captured the essence of the ‘classic’ ignorant and angry white American? Honestly, it fits pretty well for FN and EDL dudes in France and the UK, respectively…
