By “being slightly critical” they mean even slightly implying that China is not in every way a completely perfect utopian paradise incapable of doing wrong.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol what a blatant lie. OP's posts that got removed were about the homeless and had nothing to do with China.

Don't y'all ever get tired of making shit up and lying about us?

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry, I don't know what OP's posts were. OP can fuck themself in that case

Really? You sounded like you knew when you made this comment:

Then why make that comment pretending you did?

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Listen I was just being snarky and reactive. I jumped in here and started moshing around with no context.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Sorry I was so hostile. But yeah there's a reason they left it vague and didn't give any examples.

[–] Chapo0114@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm from hexbear, people are critical of it all the time on hexbear. You just can't criticize China and not know the people there are far better off than those in the US

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You cannot acknowledge anything even slightly negative that China has ever done without being jumped all over

Mao killing the sparrows during the four pests campaign was bad. The cultural revolution produced excesses that didn't need to happen if it was handled better.

Oh look nobody on hexbear is going to hate on this comment.

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Modern day China is both capitalist and emperialist and has a disregard for basic human rights. It is not in any way shape or form a communist state. Oh, and it actively tries to censor and erase the fact that it ran down its own citizens with tanks.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you see how dishonest it is to claim that even slightly criticism of China is forbidden on Hexbear and then when the person speaks to you offers substantial criticism, your counterpoint is that we disagree when you say extremely bad shit about China?

What is a slightly negative thing about China that you feel you couldn't share on hexbear.net?

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Listen, yes, I do see that I'm being unfair and dishonest. I tend to pop off without thinking

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kind of rude of you to agree with me

[–] Flaps@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah looking at your other comments mine was uncalled for.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (13 children)

How is China imperialist? The other stuff you're saying us wrong too, but i know the propaganda you will point to to get there. But imperialist? You mean Belt and Road? Building hospitals in Africa?

You mean the theocratic slaver state of Tibet that was liberated by the PLA? That's a fine place to start to show that you are just another western left anti-communist.

Edit: I'd recommend Blackshirts and Reds to understand the phenomenon of left anti-communism in the West. If you're serious about communism, it might help you understand the rift driven between you and the people you call "tankies" https://mltheory.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/michael-parenti-blackshirts-and-reds_-rational-fascism-and-the-overthrow-of-communism-2001.pdf

I will check out the book. I've been wrong about plenty of things before, so always willing to learn

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool. It was one i found very clarifying when i was trying to learn more about AES and sort through the reality of those countries as opposed to the Western version of them

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Download it to my phone. Will read on the bus tomorrow

And other unsourced, unsupported, and racist claims, presented by your local liberal.

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Any sources that I provide will be dismissed as western propoganda.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its not our fault if the information you believe is Western propoganda

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean it kind of is you guys need to do a better job with the propagandizing.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

michael-laugh fair point. Its really hard to compete with the US when it comes to propaganda, though
