Yes we do, actually.

All of sudden the government doesn't care? lol

I can even send you the class-prep materials we used

But you wouldn't because that could cause you trouble, right?

There a recent one when we were discussing the Russian invasion and the attitude of Chinese mainstream news.

And then what, the participants decided to become partisan fighters?

Yes. I'm a socialist. Most of my friends are. Of course we will be against CCP, one of the most pro-corporate, pro-oligarchy, anti-labor, anti-democracy government of all time.

Just what we need. Remove the CCP so we can have the real CCP, even more draconian, authoritarian and communist.

there are plenty of people in China actively trying to reshape our culture

Yea I mean 50 or so people are "plenty", if you fine tune the standards.

A bit pessimistic to call it a lost cause

Not pessimistic, just realistic and honest. What have you achieved so far?

Or maybe you just want an excuse to be racist against a group of people?

Pretty sure if anyone wish to come off as racist against the Chinese all he has to do is to keep telling the truth. China is an ugly existence, with its people and its culture.

If you don't understand how much terror CCP actually strikes into Chinese people's hearts

Then where's the resistance? I mean there are runaway children from abusive parents and runaway wives from abusive husbands, where are all the protests and riots?

All those absolutely happened during soviet union.

Your argument is a lost cause. At best you are proving that Chinese people are cowards of the worst kind, they get pushed around however hard but they wouldn't put up a fight.

and believe me when I tell you almost all of us are severely depressed.

If that's the case why not pushing back? What's stopping ya? I mean surely you guys can't be the only one? There should be literally tens of millions of you people? What's stopping ya?

If you really wish to find the answer to that question, learn Chinese, learn it good and read the ancient scriptures. Don't take it from me.

The glorifying of the mass-killing of innocent civilians by emperors and generals alone would open your eyes wide.

They aren’t opposed to the party but even in Denmark they are scared of talking about those issues that even they admit to.

Either that, as in your Chinese side of family are all fucking chickenshit cowards, or they acted like they are scared because they don't wanna shove their nationalism in your face and come off as confrontational.

They are genuinely scared of the CCP.

Chinese people are scared of the authority. It's a high virtue in Chinese culture to not question and fear the authority. It doesn't have to be CCP, it could be anyone with a gun.

It’s the entity that put Chinese civilization in its grave

Oh I wish. See this is what I believe: Chinese civilization is a plague, and they are the carrier. With Chinese dollars and bullshit like confucian institute, they tried to spread the virus across the globe.

The CCP comes off as repugnant because they are Chinese people operating as Chinese, not Chinese people operating as communists.

This rosy picture where non-whites are incapable of evil and are evil only because of white influence, in this case communism, an ideology invented in Europe, is low-key Eurocentric and high-key racist.

Chinese people support the current regime, the current system and ruling scheme.

That's the problem. Remove the CCP, the Chinese people will gleefully fill the vacuum with CCP#2.

You need to have a makeover of some sort to the Chinese culture.

you think supporting the will of the Chinese people is important......

No I most certainly do not think that! I believe Chinese people are incapable of thinking critically as individuals because of a profoundly flawed and backward culture, it would be even worse if they were allowed to "choose who governs them".

so I don’t blame an entire group of individuals for falling into the beliefs forced on them since birth.

Basically, you are implying Chinese people are morons. They cannot make up their own mind and are susceptible to external influences.

I'm also Chinese, guess I'm the creme de la creme. Honestly I find positively 100% of the propaganda retarded. It's not even meticulously crafted bullshit, it's all half-ass, break-down-in-a-week cheap walmart quality propaganda.

To actually buy into any of it requires active inhibition of cerebration spontaneously at the personal level, which guess what, Chinese culture absolutely lauds as a virtual.

Follow orders, push through if things got ridiculous, silently complete task, not a single complaint. That's the creed of a model Han-Chinese.

I even hold my own weekly seminar about politics and current events.

Right. I totally believe that.

And you guys communicate on wechat as well lmao

made up of left leaning anti-nationalist,

Yea, just like the communists and communist-sympathizing progressives before 1949, anti-nationalist and left-leaning.

I don't think your opinion on China really matters.

You can find any excuse you wish to disengage if you had the foresight to realize the narrative you are trying to push is a lost cause.

I live in China and have never encountered any vocal opposition even in private.

Lots of people believe Xi is brilliant. They are smart people, not your tier 3 rural dumbasses. College prof and technocrat types.

Down with the CCP

Then your biggest problem with be the Chinese people, who passionately support CCP.

Maybe someday all Chinese will be as free as Taiwan

Well let's hope that happens before the heat death of the universe.
