    If you can find me a governance representing more than 100 million people that is genuinely good, with no ifs ands or buts about it, I can prove that you are the brainwashed one.

      Why does it need to be perfect to be good?

        Hmm, must be an llm, they never said the word perfect. They never said anything had to be perfect.

        How does that feel?

          Well kind of funny because it’s not at all comparable to what you’re trying to compare it to. Also I never called anyone an llm I asked if they used it as it left an artefact.

        I need it to stop doing evil things first. I am all for reducing the evil, less evil is always great and ill always vote for a lesser evil. But dont expect me to a government structure good if it is still doing evil things. Ill call a politician good if they want to decrease the evil. But I will not call a country good if its still evil.

            America is evil. There are politicians who are lesser evils within the usa. They dont make the US not evil, just less evil.

            I don’t know individual politicians in china, but im sure there are plenty of lesser evil politicians there. That doesnt mean china isnt also doing evil things. I hope the evil reduces there. And in the usa. And everywhere else.

              What are the evil things that China is doing? And on that note, what are these “lesser evil” politicians? Are you equating China as on the same level of evil as the US?

                Here’s two examples of evil things that China is doing:
                Persecution of Uyghurs in China
                Internet censorship in China

                  lol did you just google “evil things china does” and paste the first wikipedia links you find?

                  https://lemmy.ml/post/46090169 - A good article on Uyghurs.

                  Or if you want you can ask Cowbee and they’ll happily give you walls upon walls of information and sources of actual facts on China that you can then proceed to ignore.

                The Uyghurs genocide that’s ongoing was shoved down our throats for years yet you people forget? Uh huh.

              It’s a useless heuristic, because it’s a fuckin magical metaphysical one. If you’re not a christian who believes in a spirit world, then stop letting the church define reality for you. Good and evil as concepts have no more valence on physical reality than karma or sin, and have no power to explain why things happen.

              Children think in good and evil. Adults think in cause and effect. Be scientific.

                Does River think their special for calling an unspecified murder a cause and effect instead of an evil? I dont think in a Christian way. I still think its fucking normal to call shit evil instead of explaining how the effects of murder are painful for the following litany of reasons
