You call them tankies, but every country has that. People blindly patriotic to their own country. Willing to overlook the biggest of flaws with their country.
I live in the united states, and have seen people defend ICE. I’ve heard people defend the Vietnam War. I’ve seen people defend our multiple invasions of Iraq. I’ve seen people online defend the killings of Renėe Good, and Alex Pretti.
I value my lived experiences more than public sentinment.
Like jesus christ all these tankies telling me how “great” China is…
then why the fuck did my family leave? Why do I have memories of living in some slum when I was in Guangzhou?

All because “Home good, outsiders bad!”
And that’s as far as some people think.
If they were Chinese, I’d give them a pass for being pro-CCP, but these are western tankies on Lemmy… 🤦♂️
