Lol. Thinking some countries have better governments than others is supremacist? Whatever, dude.
By the way. If there are any countries with decent governments, I don't know of them. But like. If there were decent countries, they wouldn't behave like China.
Saying "decent countries" clearly has a perverse slip within the thought, the idea of a collective I in the our countries and an objectifying negation of the I in the other group. Basically good ol' civilisation and barbarians. The same rhetoric you and your people have been using to oppress me and my third world brothers and sisters all around the world. You really think you need to do the missionary work of educating the beasts, don't you?
Well. The person you replied to is a moron IMO, but I can kind of see what he's saying. 'Decent' can 'potentially' be a reasonable standard by seeing the way that people vote with their feet. American citizens aren't looking to escape the US to get into Afghanistan, but plenty of Afghan's would love to escape into the American heartland if they had the opportunity. 'Godless secular republic', all things considered.
What he wouldn't understand is that the US was a leading forerunner that explains why that country remains an undeveloped shithole in the first place.
Eyeroll. Literally said in the first message that I don't support the US, but yes, clearly it's us (countries I don't support) vs. them (countries I also don't support). The only possible reason one could think China is an oppressive hellhole is racism, I guess. Never mind that I also think Western countries are oppressive hellholes. But clearly thinking two things are bad at once means you actually like one of them. Christ, you're like the bizarro world version of conservatives who think that hating America means you support China. Tankies really are just libs who simp for different countries.
Educating the beasts in third-world countries? I don't have time for that. I'm too busy trying to fix my own shithole country. Are a lot of people in third-world countries wrong about shit? Yeah, obviously. But I think most people in the world are wrong about shit, because most of them aren't libsocs. Me disagreeing with you doesn't make you special. If thinking a specific group has it wrong means you're prejudiced against them, apparently I'm prejudiced against 99.7% of the world. And I'm pretty sure most people in third-world countries aren't state capitalists, so I guess you must be prejudiced against them too for disagreeing with them.
Why is it that you tankies always ignore that anarchists, libsocs, and other non-tankie leftists spend much more time fighting libs and fascists than we do fighting you? We make fun of you online. We argue with you when you say dumb shit. We don't march against you in the streets, except in countries where you rule over us. The effort we dedicate to you is really minuscule compared to how we fight and die trying to change the right-wing status quo. And yet, somehow that counts for nothing when you need to claim that our disagreements with you are rooted in bigotry.
