"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Cue the Pooh-memes from liberals that definitely aren't racist.

Why the obsession with portraying a Chinese man as a yellow bear? Why not a panda?

Because the authoritarian doesn't like it. Not that deep man.

Are all heads of state "authoritarians" in your view, or just communists? Secondly, I don't think anyone would enjoy racism being hurled their way, is racism justified if you don't like your target and deem them evil?

Buddy he started it. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/xi-jinping-winnie-the-pooh-comparisons I'm not going to debate-bro your inability to comprehend things. Good luck.

The funny thing about this is that Winnie the Pooh was never blacklisted. I spent 7 months last year travelling in China, and Winnie the pooh is literally everywhere. Toys, products, a fucking ride in Shanghai Disneyland.

Xi literally doesn't give a fuck about your stupid meme. He and the rest of the country is too busy winning.

Also, extreme lols at citing knowyourmeme. Great bit

Nowhere in your link does it state that Xi Jinping started the comparisons to Winnie the Pooh, nor why it fizzled out in China but became extremely widespread in the west, especially among racist right-wingers. You also didn't answer my question, do you just call all heads of state "authoritarian," or is that just for communists? And is racism justified if you think the target is evil or something?

It's incredibly telling that you say I have poor comprehension when you can't firmly answer anything I asked.

they will literally post about how the entire nation of china is incapable of creating anything on their own and must steal it from the west and not think this is racist

Which is extremely ironic, considering how many things that are called "american" actually aren't.
