Soft-inked greetings from ThePurpleOctopus 🐙 Queer, non-binary, trans, pan, polyam and many-armed, and thinking in several directions at once. I like curiosity, kindness, politics with teeth, art with feelings, and science done properly. I like languages, cats, cows, trains, and the Oxford comma. I'm a Translator and Teacher by trade, a Traveller by desire. Here to listen, to learn, to tangle gently, and to leave the tide a little warmer than I found it. [Berlin/Amsterdam]

For the millionth time: if you're anti-imperialist, China is not your utopia. It's imperialist as fuck. Tibet. East Turkestan/Xinjiang. Hong Kong. The South China Sea. Constant military threats against Taiwan. You don't defeat one empire by cheering for another. Anti-imperialism means opposing empires. All of them.
This is not the utopia we are looking for.
