Why isn't war being declared against the CPP?

It's pretty much impossible for me to support military intervention against China; but, there's a reason why I've had a few "happy dreams" about blowing up a few government buildings in Beijing.

Let's really try to understand history for a moment. People Left and Right regard WWII as a just war. You need to go full Murray Rothbard to find somebody who would speak about "America's two just wars" and not include WWII (he's also one of those guys who referred to The Civil War as The War of Northern Aggression).

But, the thing is, when most people talk about WWII as a just war, they're referring to the European theater and defeating Hitler. Our entrance into the war was finally backed by the overwhelming support of the American people after December 7th, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. People also tend to forget that the war in The Pacific lasted for nearly a year after the Nazis were defeated.

Think for a moment about our emphasis on the war against the Nazis as reason why WWII was a just war. Germany, despite being allied with Japan, didn't attack us. We knew that the Nazis were expanding through force. So is China at the moment. We knew that the Nazis were dictators and rather racist. We also know that of China. We didn't know that the Holocaust was happening. We didn't know about the concentration camps Nazi-occupied territories. We know about the Uyghurs in China being herded into concentration camps, labor camps, and reeducation camps. Are you pissed off about the seperation of families at the Southern border of the USA. What's happening to the Uyghurs is far more egregious. We knew that the Nazis didn't like political dissent. We know it more clearly with China.

If anything, we have more reason to declare war on China, if you actually believe in "humanitarian" wars than we did when we joined the war against the Nazis. China is the new Nazi Germany; only, we know more.

And yet, because so many of us think that power structures are built around skin color, China is recieving praise from the woke Left for being a superpower that isn't white. Some people have been so delusional to pretend that China hasn't been built on slave labor.

China is an evil regime at the moment. I may not be ready to call for military intervention; but, we should behave as if we're actually aware of how disgusting its government is.
