90% of her twitter is complaining about tankies and the uyghurs and the authoritarianism

someone in the comments says “im cuban and castro was not a real communist”

retweeted something about how can china eradicate poverty when people in hong kong live in tiny homes

I dunno, if the person with the most similar political development on Youtube was freaking Shoe0nhead, that would probably make me want to rethink my beliefs.

Like, there’s non-tankie leftists online like hbomb, philosophytube, big joel, the chapos, contrapoints, hasanabi, but they talk about actual fucking left-wing ideals, the injustices in the present day and what could be done to fix them. They don’t turn their entire online presence into “im one of the good lefties, not like these evil tankies, im one of the good and reasonable ones”

    retweeted something about how can china eradicate poverty when people in hong kong live in tiny homes

    westerners both want china to solve poverty in hong kong and fix all the problems there but also leave hong kong alone and end their “tyranny” or whatever. classic liberal double-standard.
