But people really hate them and are just begging for a regime change, we promise, let us do a regime change bro
- Also, here's how things are going in the capitalist paradise of occupied Korea https://asiatimes.com/2019/12/75-of-young-want-to-escape-south-korean-hell/
  
  @☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ Yeah it's batshit insanity down there even six years later. Westerners glorify it because Kpop dweebs are the modern weeaboo — the RoK has very successfully exported its culture to the west — but people who actually live there, or even pay attention to the politics, know it's a shithole.
To play Devil's Advocate nobody has tried to kill Xi Jinping even once; let alone three times.
But then again that just further drives the point home, doesn't it?
- how come the United States would happily try to assassinate someone like Castro 600+ times but not try even once with Xi? Is it because it's too late to change China's trajectory?
  
  I imagine that China's security forces makes even Cuba's look like boy scouts.
  
  They're incompetent and they can't get to him
  While they paint him as the devil the US economy depends on China. Imagine what would happen if any US assassination attempts on Xi were to reach media and China
- indeed it does
- I think that's the point
The individualist fascist cowering alone vs. the collectivist communist hanging out and having a good time.
It's so weird that the Trump photo was taken from a position where someone could clearly pop him. Total incompetence.
Same sane country whose population lectures the other one for being authoritarian and dangerous.
- The only bad things they know to accuse others of doing is what they see around themselves.
American security culture vs Chinese security culture
“What? I see no difference here.”
Average amerikkkan
one is bad, and the other is also bad
- a wild redditor appears, it's very confused
- Yeeeee
- Yeah, Xi Jinping should have more people praising him.
- While Xi and the CPC is somewhat revisionist they're nowhere near close Trump level evil
  
  How can you call the CPC revisionist? They are arguably the most orthodox (aside from mainly Cuba and Vietnam) of communist parties.
  
  There are some revisionist elements in the CPC (I'm wary of Li Qiang for example) but I definitely wouldn't call Xi a revisionist. His installment as General Secretary was more or less an orthodox marxist coup against revisionist Shanghai politicians.
