    Understandable 🐕 China’s and really any country’s government obviously isn’t 100% bad or strictly worse than another, Idk a lot about Mao but I think killing a bunch of landlords and providing housing super super cheap is pretty awesome. Sorry if I was being super aggressive or anything, I just see a lot of people acting like bc dishonest western propaganda about socialist countries (and even just countries that oppose the US) exists that means they’re utopias and their government can do no wrong. It’s def more complex than hardliners on either side want to pretend it is. I wish I knew how to do more reliable research on anything around China, there’s good lessons to learn there, but it feels like there are almost no primary sources that aren’t CCP or western propaganda

    Snark aside tho, you really, desperately need to stop doomscrolling. P much all your posts are about horribly depressing shit and that has a very real effect on how you view others. The vast majority of people aren’t rapists and abusers and fascists and shit, they just get a lot of attention bc enraging and hopeless stories get a lot of traffic. Oil and social media companies and right wing politicians invest a fuck ton of money and effort into making sure people are completely hopeless and mad at the wrong people, don’t give them that easy a win <3

    I’m sorry for being edgy myself earlier, people with lives as traumatic as yours sounds from these comments come by misanthropy at least a bit honestly. That doesn’t make utter hopelessness or contempt for others helpful or good, but I should’ve been more understanding
