      That’s pretty easy. Take a look at China, Cuba, Vietnam, DPRK, as just a few examples. None of them are invading countries or plundering the world.

        Okay, this is one reading of the image, although China does some invading of its own (e.g., Tibet, Hong Kong).

        The core point for me is that people are less concerned about the suffering of people far away and strongly concerned with small annoyances in their everyday lives. AFAIKT that’s the same in all those countries, didn’t see any selfless citizen movements recently to stop the genocide in Sudan for example

          Yeah that’s not what invading is bud. Hong Kong is literally part of China that the Brits annexed. Meanwhile, Tibet was liberated from literal slavery. The core point is that it’s the western regimes that dominate the world and commit atrocities across the globe on constant basis.

                When you call the invasion of Tibet a liberation from slavery, no further discussion for you bro

                  When you call getting Hong Kong back from the British empire an “invasion”

                  no further discussion for you bro

                  Oh no, I don’t get to hear the baseless claims that I’ve heard a million times from every other clueless western chauvanist.
