  I understand your need to reframe my objections to racist caricatures in general as being a defense of someone you’re trying to demonize with your racism.

  Who the fuck am I being racist to? Asians? As an Asian myself?

  you’re certainly being racist towards Chinese people in general right now when you’re using this stereotype of them being hive minded and easily brainwashed.

  Nowhere have I said that. Them having that kind of education since a kid is a fact. And you clearly haven’t been on Chinese social media to see what bullshit the pinkies say on there.

    I’ve seen a Chinese history textbook for kids in high school and it’s just generic history using a Marxist lens and framing the CPC as the current administrative body. They list accomplishments of the party, yeah, but that’s because they have accomplishments they can point to.

    It’s a lot better than how my American school tried to get me to worship slave owners like Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.

      And they also prohibit you from criticizing them if you don’t agree with their policies. I definitely do not want to be forced to love a country that doesn’t care what their people says.

      Fuck that shit. Criticise. You are free to do so without the government knocking on your door, unlike in China.

        Dude, this may be breaching opsec, but my comrades have had DEA and FBI knock on their doors because of affiliation with anarchist organizations and connection to BLM leadership. Please don’t tell me what cops here do or what I have the freedom to do. I live here and I’ve seen people get arrested.

        We’re free to criticize as long as we keep quiet about it and don’t actually try anything. The place I live absolutely will kill people if need be. I’m definitely not free to be open and critical wherever I go. My boss will fire my ass if he knew my politics. I’ve been fired for unionizing attempts at previous jobs. Is that freedom? Freedom of speech without the freedom to do shit about it? I don’t subscribe to this liberal horseshit of raising awareness or raising voices. I want to do shit now, actual physical things and topple this whole capitalist framework.

    No it isn’t. Prove it. Primary sources.

      You asked for it. Beware links are in Chinese since you asked for the primary sources.

      Since 1994, China has been implementing patriotic education 愛國主義教育 into their education systems. In 2017, CCP implemented 習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想 “Chinese way of Socialism in the new Xi era” or “Xi Jinping Thought” into their party constitution.
      Links to it: Wiki, Their education site about the history of their party

      The main items of the thought include: “四個意識 Four Consciousnesses” “四個自信 Four Confidences” and “兩個維護 Two Safeguards” (there aren’t exact English translations of these you get my crappy translations)

      Four Consciousnesses talks about obeying the party, looking at the bigger picture. “更加緊密地團結在以習近平同志為核心的黨中央周圍，更加堅定地維護黨中央權威，更加自覺地在思想上政治上行動上同黨中央保持高度一致” which translates to “Unite more closely around the Party with Comrade Xi as the core, firmly safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee, and more consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in terms of ideology, politics and actions.”

      Four Confidences talks about being confident in “中國特色社會主義 Chinese style of Socialism”, to believe that it is the only way to realize socialist modernization and create a better life for the people, and is the correct theory to guide the party and the people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

      Two Safeguards basically means to safeguard Xi Jinping as the core of the Party Central Committee and the entire party, and safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee.

      習近平思想 or “Xi Jinping thought” along with 毛澤東思想 “Maoism” are political courses you have to take during elementary, middle and high school. Their stance is to “入腦、入心、入魂”, which means “Into the brain, heart, and soul”.
      This is a sample of their textbook for elementary students. The first chapter is literally called “我愛你中國 I love you China”. The first paragraph is "在世界東方，有一個偉大的國家叫中國，她的全稱是中華人民共和國，她就是我們的祖國。我們都是中國人，我們每個人都深愛著祖國，就像習近平爺說的，“愛國，是人世間最深層、最持久的情感，是一個人立德之源、立功之本”。 " which translates to "In the east side of the world, there is a great country called China, full name People’s Republic of China, and she is our motherland. We are all Chinese, and all of us love our motherland deeply. As Granddad Xi Jinping says: “Patriotism is the deepest and most lasting emotion in the world. It is the source of a person’s morality and the foundation of his merits.” "

      They actually tested you for it during their GaoKao or National College Entrance Examination this year.

      Not even people living in Canada can escape the patriotic courses, as a Chinese class in a high school in Richmond gave out a homework about the patriotic movie “我和我的祖國 My People My Country” (More accurately translated as Me and My Motherland).

      From elementary school, or even kindergarten, kids have been taught the history of the Party, and are taught to sing patriotic/socialist songs.
      “我們是共產主義接班人 We are the Communist successors” -Lyrics,
      “我和我的祖國 Me and My Motherland” -Lyrics,
      “閃閃紅星 Bright Red star” -Lyrics
      are some examples. Translate them yourself.

        Sounds pretty cool tbh, wish we sang socialist songs instead of having to do the pledge of allegiance to the flag every morning
