Yeah, California is exactly the same as a state that throws hundreds of thousands to millions of people in concentration camps, prohibits freedom of speech and religion, murders and steals the organs of political prisoners, and actively monitors everything you do.

It's not, ignore nationalist defending a fascist state.

False equivalence

The difference is we can also vote that person out of office and there won't be violence to prevent it.

Indeed, Californian business is immmortal.

How is modern one-party California fascist? Specifically, how does California advance an ethnostate under a conservative populist tradtionalist movement oriented at revitalizing a long-dead culture? I'm not sure that California does this.

Meanwhile, China operates death camps.

Good try, good hustle, glad you're here learning English, but you need to learn more about your culture's history and the nature of fascism.

user may be Chinese national, but name calling ("brainwashed") probably isn't the best way to encourage the sorts of open dialogue that will be necessary to change their views

Lucky 10000: Go look up the etymology of "brainwashing".

lol... nice find.

brainwashing (n.) "attempt to alter or control the thoughts and beliefs of another person against his will by psychological techniques," 1950, a literal translation of Chinese xi nao. A term from the Korean War.

Ignoring or tolerating a violent ethno-nationalist ideology isn't going to make things better either.

agreed, unreservedly.

still, namecalling these users doesn't solve anything. and i'm sure it's against the community principles.

There's no point responding with anything other than derision to this kind of deliberately obtuse and bad faith deflection.

You should have flagged it. HN is not made for derision.
