The Nazis built the autobahn, but we don't cheer for the Nazis.

Like we shouldn't be cheering on any state, just because of the good.

Yes, I include the US, China, Russia, and all the other states that have committed untold evil on humanity, even if they all also did something good.

But it's still good to talk about the good things because those good things help us do better the next time. Doesn't mean you gotta go out and buy a Chinese flag, learn Mandarin, defect, marry a Chinese woman and integrate into the culture, swear yourself to the CCP and what the fuck else. You can just be like "hey China is investing heavily into public transport. It's pretty effective. Neat"

You know. The way you react to any country doing a neat thing. But since we got this "China is evil dictatorship where their whole population is basically enslaved" mindset, you can't. That's propagandas power. They are just people like the rest of us.

Nazism is when a US politician doesn't like you, and the more they don't like you the nazier you are
