Hang on, it’s racist to call out totalitarian dictatorships that put muslims in concentration camps and have secret police in other countries to enforce their draconian laws abroad on other sovereign state’s soil?
Fuck that, the chinese government is sketchy as hell, and so are you for trying to downplay the distrust said government has earned quite well as “racism.” Do you work directly for them or is it more of a 3rd party contractor situation?

Yeah, sure would be if anyone had done that, but that assumption was an invention of your own not contained within the statement you replied to. “The belief” is that the Chinese government can coerce any citizens within it’s borders (and some outside it’s borders no less), stop putting words in other’s mouths yourself then.
Mmhmm “canned meme response” yes. Totally not employed to curtail criticisms of the government you’re defending, I can tell by the originality.
To play devil’s advocate, people often justify their biases with seemingly more reasonable stuff. “only good people should be trusted to breed” is eugenics even if someone made a funny movie about it.
Very true, but we can’t just not criticise a government because the people involved checks notes “aren’t white.” What would make them above criticism? In my view the only possible answer is because (and it’s usually applied to children or the mentally disabled,) “they don’t understand what they’re doing.” In my personal opinion “Nonwhite people” are just as capable as “white people” of knowing what they’re doing, as they are not by default children or mentally disabled (though they do also have both categories, and those categories should get a little more leeway). They know spying is wrong whether they’re “chinese” or “american.”
The American government is sketchy as hell too, but you aren’t here telling us not to trust American developers…
No, I do that on threads about american devs. You can’t just hand wave any criticisms of a government away with “racism” or “but whatabout this other government you also complain about?!”
I notice you haven’t told me that homophobia is bad too while you’re calling me racist, I guess that means you like homophobia? No? That’s just as ridiculous as “if you criticise one government you have to criticise them all in the same comment.” This isn’t “did you bring enough criticism for the whole class” time.
None of this should be news to anyone here, lemmy is highly privacy focused and that doesn’t go away simply because the proprietary blobs in question could be doing sketchy things for the CCP instead of the NSA, either way it’s bad to normal people who aren’t blindly allegiant to the CCP or the NSA.
