    It’s really wild when liberals try to fit thousands of years of Chinese history with all sorts of different dyansties doing different things in to one simple “China bad” narrative, and then try to connect that to the Communist party that got rid of the imperial system altogether. It really goes to show that they’re just racist and don’t care what government China has because they hate the people regardless. And also that they’ve never studied Chinese history like at all.

      I think it’s more of a capacity thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar’s_number

      There seems to be a limit to how much a person can care. Can only imagine that extends to every other aspect of an individuals experience. Then add in that most people will never have the opportunity or know-how to deprogram themselves so last they heard the local propaganda said ‘China bad’ so China BAD!

        Dunbar’s number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.

        That’s just a limit on how many people whose lives you can keep track of.

        I can extend some benefit of the doubt but this “China has been nothing but a bully for 4500 years” and talking about “Han bullies” crosses a line and I don’t think it’s relevant to Dunbar’s number. The propaganda however does play a role in making people racist.
