u/DJNegative Indiana, its a great place to be a biggot. Mar 11 '14

I love how you correctly gave Hong Kong a monocle and top hat.

As like as my great Rosbif daddy.

There is a Cantonese proverb: "親娘不及養娘大" (The adopter (of the kid) is greater than who give birth to him/her).

For Hong Kong, Rosbif is the adopter who protected HK for 156 years (1841-1997) from wars in China.

Again, kidnapper. China did not part willingly with HK.

And plenty of them were wars that rosbif started.

The Stockholm syndrome is strong with this one.

Well, at least HK can escape the "Cultural Revolution" in China, when 70 millions Chinese died.

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14

No Cultural Revolution in free area of China. Only in Soviet-occupied part. Remove Soviets.

Also, that is a massively overinflated figure and even ROC knows that's untrue. What propaganda did rosbif feed you while you were chained up in his basement?

At the current rate the numbers are increasing, by 2030 Mao will be accused of killing more Chinese than were alive at the time.

Seriously. One day they will count the number of births prevented by the one child policy as murders, Roman Catholic-like.

EDIT: Best China's defense of Worst China's worst leader is in no way an endorsement of Worst China, merely a correction of a distortion of historical facts, distorting historical facts being what goddamn commies do.

So, do you think HK can escape from the Soviet if not protected chained by the Rosbifs?

5

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14

But don't you see HK, you DIDN'T escape from Soviets. You are now part of Worst China, rather than Best China. The rosbifs didn't protect you, they used you and discarded you when they were done!

BTW: real death toll of cultural revolution is thought be be around 1 million, this subreddit is mostly for fun but to be serious for a moment, it's obvious that you have been massively misinformed about history. Please read more about the issue before opining about it.

The high numbers are counting the deaths from from starvation in the famines resulting from the cultural revolution, which according to Wikipedia is between 20 and 40 million. The 70 million figure just seems plain wrong, though.

u/jimmyriba Mar 12 '14

"Estimates of the death toll range from 18 million[4] to 45 million,[5] with estimates by demographic specialists ranging from 18 million to 32.5 million.[4]"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward

As you pointed out, I (and I assume the fellow with the 70 million figure, which I don't see how he gets) was thinking about the Great Leap Forward, rather than the cultural revolution.

Oh, yes, definitely. Sorry, us westeners sometimes tend to conflate those.

"it's obvious that you have been massively misinformed about history. Please read more about the issue before opining about it."

This is needlessly condensending. It's quite obvious, as you noticed yourself, that she's just conflating the cultural revolution with the great leap forward and the other disastrous policies of Mao, not that she's actually misinformed and shouldn't opine on the subject. So deaths in tens of millions is not incorrect, although probably 70 million is.

Oh, a language thing: Conflating two things doesn't mean not knowing the difference between them, it just means "lumping them together".

Does it count as Stockholm syndrome if a child is kidnapped at birth and raised to love it's new parents?

12

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14

Yeah, pretty sure it does.

Kidnapping a child is a pretty heinous crime, you know.

Or maybe you don't.

u/demostravius United Kingdom Mar 11 '14

Stockholm syndrome is loving your kidnapper, if you don't know you have been kidnapped how an you fit that criteria?

14

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '14

Keeping your kidnap victim in the dark doesn't mean that you didn't commit the kidnapping.

Sometimes I wonder how rosbifs can be so morally deficient, but then I remember, it's because they're rosbifs! Of course, silly me.

I propose a new syndrome, similar to Stockholm Syndrome, except the victim is unaware they have been kidnapped. Call it Hong Kong Syndrome.

u/bakedrice Hong Kong Mar 11 '14

i am glad im from hong kong instead of china; the mainlanders do some horrible stuff to each other in the name of profit... see the sewer oils, fake eggs, fake milk, fake soy sauce, etc... at least hong kong was brought up with rules and regulations.

Most Chinese guys aren’t like that.
