    Obviously the US must have shut down the Beijing LGBT Center in order to make China look bad. C’mon guys, try to keep up.

    It must be a lie. Every queer person knows how very very tolerant China is of them!

    This tankie seems unaware of how the CCP manipulates public opinion.

    If this kind of news ever reaches China, the authorities would always attribute it to crime, drugs, sex work and so on. They would portray it as the government improving the social order instead of violating human rights.

      That’s why they’re asking for the “real” reason. He wants the BS PR answer to blindly believe so his worldview doesn’t need to change.

      Tankies are well aware of the authoritarianism. They believe it’s for the greater good.

      Even then drugs and sex work can be “victimless crimes”. Social order for the sake of ultraconformity, because dictators and their henchmen want everyone to be exactly the same.

    My favorite part is the claim that one of the most factual unbiased news organizations out there is just a US government mouthpiece. I am genuinely curious how someone’s thinking gets so twisted that they end up there.

      Sounds like it’s short for red fascist.

        It is. A lot of tankies have more in common with fascists than other leftists, save for some vague Marxist pandering, and doing the same exact corporate BS but by the state instead of private corporations.
