So they just hate everyone? They make it simple at least. /s
If their people are fighting over which religious/social minority to hate, they're not talking about the government's inability to serve them. For more information on this tactic ask literally any Republican elected official in the US.
Typical tankies: "at least we're not Nazis" proceeds to act like Nazis
Hatred toward those who don't share your customs is unfortunately common.
For whatever one random person in the world's opinion is worth, I really don't think most people are like this. In my experience, most people most of the time are kind and curious when meeting strangers and like to learn new things.
The problem is it doesn't take anywhere near majority of people in an area to cause chaos, and when things get chaotic those natural tendencies towards kindness and curiosity get replaced by resentment and fear really quickly.
It's not so much customs or religion at this point, just as the Troubles in Ireland weren't really about religious belief. Rather, the religious identities mark distinct social groups, which have a history of discrimination, oppression, and terror against one another.
It's not "You don't believe in my God so I have to kill you" so much as "Your daddy killed my daddy, so my uncle killed your uncle, so now you and I have to try to kill each other too."
Remember that things don't just stay online in China if the government doesn't permit them explicitly.
No surprises here. CCP is a dystopian totalitarian nightmare.
pushes proud boys and maga-hat Republicans in a corner and throws a blanket over them
Just don't look over there.
Article is about China, yes but what about the US? Checkmate
Uh, we beat those cunts in the last election, innit? They’re about 1/3 of Americans, we can beat them again if we don’t spend the next election sitting on our thumbs. When was the last time the Chinese people had a say in their governance?
Don't count those chickens yet. They've got a lot of their own crimes to pardon, so they might try to pull a "patriotism" again.
We all gotta vote.
Yeah, I don't know if the voting part matters to them any longer...
Voting sets the difficulty for them, dont make it easy on them.
I've never missed a vote in my life, though I can't say I've been wild about any of the outcomes. Let's hope Dems can get their shit together this year because the last 3 haven't been the most inspiring.
not only in China...whole world seems to go crazy
Don't ask them what they think about black people. Although maybe ask what they think of Jewish or Muslim black people. Out of curiosity. Probably won't be good.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
