    Lemmy is weird. As long as you’re on the dogpile against the current “big bad” of the week, you’re good to go. Fuck Tesla? Then let’s buy Chinese products.

    It’s insane, but it’s where we are.

    It’s authoritarian spyware, period. There are more options than these two - ww don’t have to choose the lesser evil.

    Let’s not forget that they are actively committing genocide against the Uighur. I don’t think they are the “lesser evil”.

        What, do you want to bring back the theocratic, slave-owning Lamas? I haven’t been to Tibet to as them, but I really doubt the average person wants what you seem to want for them.

          Because Tibet never got the chance to transition to a modern country. FYI China invaded in 1950 Oct 6th - at that time big chunk of the world was still theocratic, autocratic and slave owning.
