Are you referring to China's shitty government that commits genocide or am I missing the joke?

China’s shitty government that commits genocide

It's so crazy to live in a country where it's illegal to call Palestine a genocide and mandatory to call China one.

Don't forget the alligator prisons.

Is that really illegal in Canada? Or is Phoenixz just randomly using lemmy.ca?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Nazi Germany had a genocidal government Israel has a genocidal government China has a genocidal government Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine

Can we agree on those four statements? I can, because they're all facts. We have to at least be able to agree on facts.

"But at what cost" is a common refrain used by western media anytime China does something good. They are just poking fun at that
