When someone flies a plane into a building, the motivation matters

[Bretton Garcia]

38. Parly but not entirely true.

Sounds like 1) you are biased against the Chinese; long a common racist bias in N. America.

Most 2) of the groups China calls terrorists, are the same groups called terrorist in the US. Especially?
Various Muslim groups.

Granted, China is rather intolerant. Though 3)
it is not absolutely inflexible or totalitarian; it changed its economy from a communist command economy, to a (qualified) capitalist one a few decades ago. And has enjoyed incredible growth as a result.

4) Surveiling suspect groups in itself is not always bad; that is done all over the world.

5) In any case, I am not going to absolutely defend China. But merely suggest that it is not characteristic of modern atheism today. Our more modern American and European atheists are better, more permissive.

After all, this very blog has allowed critics like yourself on this blog, for years.

In contrast, some even argue that Marxism is not true atheism.
