    You have it the wrong way around: Chinese democracy is appealing while western capitalist dictatorship is failing.

      When I last checked it, western countries were democracies and china was a totalitarian regime. Did anything changed in the last 5 minutes?

            For one, no, that’s not how burden of proof works: you were the one who made the claim first. I wish you Reddit losers would actually learn what these phrases mean rather than treating them like magical incantations for winning debates.

            Secondly, you’ve already been presented with ample proof that you just ignored.

              For a lot of new users, it’s the first time they’ve ever been exposed to uncensored viewpoints. No one‘s ever pushed back on their unexamined priors, which came from life-long exposure to the ideas of the ruling class.

              The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.
