“dictatorship” with 90% approval rating > “democracy” with 18% approval rating
@kate My Favourite East Asian tech industrialised countries are ALWAYS doing this
@kate I see what you mean, I just take issue with the entire framing of the debate between being either pro taiwan or pro china, taiwan is reactionary af but then they're also not a fascist dictatorship anymore complex history which includes a decades long antifascist struggle
Could say the same about Chile well yeah there are lots of fascists, there was a a decades long disctatorship, there's also lots of progressive leaning workers
It’s so awesome to be like “you think my special meow meow Taiwan is ‘reactionary’????” about a place that had a literal decades long right wing dictatorship propped up by the US
