If that's your takeaway, you've missed the point. Well done.

But your point was that China is better than the US because... well because apparently it is.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No it wasn't. Overall points:

something is needed to radically halt US destruction of the world. I can't think of anything which will achieve this short of a lost war. China is, afaik, the only potential enemy capable of inflicting this loss on the US.
i have no love but China (see my other comments in this thread), but objectively its existence has been less harmful to the rest of the world than that of the US.

Calling that a 'tankie take' is low effort shit which contributes nothing to the discussion. In any case, I'm pretty sure tankies are apologists for all the bad stuff China does, so not sure i fit into that category, babybus.

"But I said that it's good even though nobody asked about China."
