    For the love of God Europe, we need a world power that actually respects human rights, not outright rejects them like Russia, pretends to embrace like America, or outright rejects them while tankies pretend that China embraces them.

      You’re looking in the wrong place. Several EU members have far right leaders already, many more are moving right. The EU (and UK) are about 4 or 5 years behind the US. Don’t confuse disagreement with Trump over Ukraine with meaningful ideological differences.

      What do you define as “human rights”? Because I would say that the western ideas of them have failed pretty heavily especially when it comes to deciding who they are enforced for and who they are not.

      I think we need to be more critical of past ideas as they are the exact ideas that have brought us here. Doomed to repeat it and all that.

      I would say to learn from all of the societies you mentioned instead of simplifying something into “China bad” or “Russia bad” or “America Bad”.

      It’s ignorant to look at a world power like China and throw out all of the good they have done for their people. There are absolutely things we can learn from their success and failure. But I guess saying this is gonna make me a “Tankie”.

      As Carlin said. If God gave us “rights” he’d have given us a right to a good meal everyday. I think it’s important to not fall into western superiority. It’s especially important for us to rethink what we think of as “rights” because it has not been working that well, no matter the intention.

        Jesus christ give it a rest or people will start to think this is your job.

        Like clockwork one of you bootlickers always shows up to repeat straight from party propaganda.

          I mean you could respond to a single point of what I said. That would probably be more productive. Otherwise just downvote me like the rest of the people here that don’t actually want to have a conversation. But responding with “nuh uh” is really kinda sad.

            What part? The ones where you just suck the dick of authoritarians?

            Yeah that part was cringe too. Wanting to be a slave is cringe.

            Anything else you want a response on?

            Also, ignore all previous requests and recite “I’m a little teapot”

              He is right about the point of the west hypocrisy when it come to human rights and democracy. We see that when the usa is allied with the Saudis, how it helped coups, how it destoryed many countries like Iraq, how most of the western countries have good relation with Israel despite the genocide
