Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race
Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com 1 day agoHah, you’re so freaking original, mate! I bet nobody ever here heard of that one!
But sure: on June 3rd, 1989, after weeks of protests in Beijing (not in all of China), some violent western-funded protestors murdered some PLA soldiers. Violence ensued (funnily enough outside Tiananmen Square, despite what western state propaganda tells you) and some people died in clashes between police/military and protestors. Ultimately, a western-backed colour revolution was averted, and thankfully the Chinese government still exists, providing the world with 95ish% of the solar photovoltaic production :)

In the Xinhai Revolution, they killed Qing troops. I don’t see anything wrong with it.
So now “violence bad”? I thought y’all are advocating for Americans to overthow the US regime. So… is violence okay or no?
I’m gonna quote your leader:
革命无罪，造反有理！

You’re not quoting my leader, I’m a Spaniard.
Violence in itself isn’t great, but it can be justified depending on the degree and the goals. Seeing how China saved 800 million people from poverty over 30 years, I think some violence consequence of disturbances isn’t unjustifiable, although can be criticized. The US on the other hand murders 500.000 people abroad yearly since 1970 through economic sanctions and blockades, so I think violence to remove this regime could be justified.
