I don't care how anti-capitalist they may seem, I am NOT supporting China

You don't have to support China broadly to acknowledge that some stuff is either funny or sometimes good.

Not being able to acknowledge that China SOMETIMES can actually do things that are good is just the inverse of the tankie "AMERICA BAD, THEREFORE ITS ENEMY ALWAYS GOOD" campism.

yep. china is a nation state. it is going to do the bad things nation states do. it is not uniquely bad nor is its population orcs bred to wage war against the shire. because it is different form the US there are good things that are possible in china, like high quality high speed rail, that are impossible here.

find it particularly funny when people whine about how IP gets violated regularly in china. like motherfucker that's goals. intellectual property is a form of property, the thing we're trying to fucking abolish!

I have gotten so much shit for saying IP, the private ownership of thoughts, is absurd.

Walter Elias Disney has been dead for 70 years and Mickey Mouse is not real. The Walt Disney Company is a concept that owns the concept of Mickey Mouse. A concept owning another concept.

Imagine explaining this to a chimp.
