Enrolled in a class on Chinese politics and the first lecture was so unbelievably chock-full of lib talking points. Some that I can recall:

  • calling China a “closed autocracy” and “authoritarian”
  • mentioned that when surveyed, Chinese people rate the level of democracy in their country higher than Americans do for theirs, but with the caveat that they could be under “censorship”
  • showed the “democracy map” that’s just this international-community-1 international-community-2 and of course China is lowly rated on the democracy scale
  • showed this chart that was literally like “Stalin and Mao killed more people than Hitler!!!” lenin-dont-laugh

There was also language about how the Core Socialist Values get “hammered” into people’s heads in China, which definitely doesn’t happen in the free West sans-troll

Might be a long semester if I stay in this course cringe

Edit: class has been dropped kel-bliss

    “Hey professor don’t you think making an explicit point to tie communist ideology which opposes fascism and the supporters of which were actually the first victims of fascism with “being worse than fascism” might be, i dunno, an attempt to rehabilitate the images of nazis and fascism?”
