That checks out.
It really doesn’t.
We're talking about China and not the US here bud. Nice try though, keep exposing yourself as an utter clown.
Do you consider it normal that a mere dictionary citation triggers such a violent, unhinged and irrelevant response?
Do you consider it normal to spend your time doing obvious trolling? Kind of hilarious that a person who has an urge to jump into a thread to spread misinformation would talk about violent, unhinged and irrelevant response. Seems like you're doing a bit of projecting there bud.
Who is trolling here? Who is posting uninformative comments? Mine were on topic, yours jumped on my neck with insults. It's your right to disagree with what I have to say, though none of what you posted here has any argumentative value.
The fact that you think your comment was on topic is really the cherry on the cake here. Perhaps you really don't realize you're a troll.
well, if there's one troll in this discussion, it's probably the only person making personal attacks and refusing to engage in a constructive discourse:
"When you definitely know what autocratic means."
"Nice try though, keep exposing yourself as an utter clown."
"spend your time doing obvious trolling" "Seems like you’re doing a bit of projecting there bud."
"Perhaps you really don’t realize you’re a troll."
I don't see any argument being made here nor the discussion going forward as the exchange progresses.
As I wrote before, you are entitled to your own ideas, and this place is to share them. But if you keep repeating that others are trolls and insulting them 5 messages in a row, well, that's some serious waste of electrons.
Not only have I made an argument, I even provided detailed sources supporting it https://lemmy.ml/comment/5942658
Meanwhile, you provided a wikipedia link to autocracy and then said that's what Chinese system is which is what actual trolling in this thread is. Every time there's a thread about China, you crawl out of your hole to spread misinformation on the subject. Evidently this is a passion of yours.
Then when you're called out on your bullshit, you start gas lighting and acting as if you're the reasonable party in the discussion. You're not fooling anybody with this act of yours. I've tried engaging in constructive discourse you before, and quickly realized that you have absolutely no interest in having any sort of constructive discourse. All you do is lie and gas light. That's what makes you a troll.
What are you talking about? This isn't a response to me nor OP, this isn't even a response you posted in this thread, and your response is no longer even listed on the source article thread. You are just throwing insults faster than you can read, apparently.
No, it is not. I am entitled to my opinions, which I substantiated, and you should accept that not everyone agrees with yours. But more importantly, I'm not criticizing you for not agreeing with me (like you do), I'm criticizing that none of your posts contains anything of substance other than insults. You really can't turn that into a problem "with me".
If you cannot tolerate comments about China, from someone who spends a fair amount of their time and life there, I guess you can just block me? Bye.
I notice you completely avoided addressing the content of the response. Not sure how it's my fault it's no longer visible.
Except you haven't substantiated your opinions, you just stated nonsense and except it to be treated seriously.
Why do you feel the need to keep lying like this. I literally just linked you to my post containing a detailed sourced explanation.
Love how you throw out the argument from authority there instead of actually saying anything of substance. Bye.
China is absolutely not an autocracy. Here are a few resources on how the system actually works in China, and if you think that's an autocracy then you really have no clue what autocracy is.
Here's how elections work in China https://nitter.net/thinking_panda/status/1305784641262026752
Turns out, people actually living in China see their system as a democracy, pretty sure they have a better idea of what their system is than you do
In fact, far more people in China see their system as being democratic than in any western nation.
A Harvard study also shows that the government has mass popular support from the public, another phenomenon we don't see in any western nation calling itself a democracy https://ash.harvard.edu/publications/understanding-ccp-resilience-surveying-chinese-public-opinion-through-time
Maybe learn how Chinese political system actually works in China instead of just regurgitating misinformation you've been spoon fed by western propagandists?
