I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Because hexbear users would never do that, right? You’re fighting your battle on the wrong battleground.

      There’s definitely some users there who go too far in their support for other imperialist superpowers like Russia and China.

      Because if America bad Russia and China good is an easy train of thought. Imperialism bad is a more difficult pill to accept.

      But users there moreso question whether certain atrocities happened. They’re not saying ‘yeah the CCP is currently Genociding Uyghurs in concentration camps. but you have to vote for Xi Jingping to save Democracy’.

      Occasionally I do find they have a point in the West exaggerating others crimes. I mostly started noticing this after Hamas supposedly beheaded 40 babies in ovens which our media blasted as fact without questioning it. Though other times there is usually a base of truth which is undeniable.

      But admitting that your side is doing Genocide and still advocating for them comes off as far more insane to me than denying their crimes.

        I wonder what definition of imperialism you’re using. China doesn’t have a financial capitalist class which influences it’s government to seek foreign markets (i.e. overthrow foreign governments to privatize their state assets for the financial capitalist class to buy up)

        Because if America bad Russia and China good is an easy train of thought.

        It may seem to lib outside observers like that

        But users there moreso question whether certain atrocities happened. They’re not saying ‘yeah the CCP is currently Genociding Uyghurs in concentration camps. but you have to vote for Xi Jingping to save Democracy’.

        Tell me you haven’t lurked there without having told me you having lurked there and talking out of your ass.

          China most definitely has billionaires in cahoots with the government. Evergrande is a great example of this. Asianometry did a great video on how deep it goes with receipts.

          I’ve had two discussions with users about the Uyghur camps which were not able to address the base of my concerns. While they are definitely very exaggerated in size, the notion that they don’t exist seems unfounded. Though I’m open for discussion on it.

            Imperialism is when billionaires. The more billionaires you have the imperialister it is

            Sounds like you were concern trolling, because the burden of proof is on the accuser

              Your statement about China not having a financialist capital class seemed slightly out of touch so I provided you with examples of some Chinese capital class. Communism is when not billionaires. The more Billionaires you have to less communism it is.

              As for the imperialism I only hear the same argument as for Western imperialism: someone drew lines on a map 200 years ago and it said Xinjiang and Tibet were part of China. So despite them speaking a different language it’s now 100% ours for rizzle.

                  I read a bit of the link and it was mostly mid mumbling that mentioned faults of China and then moved on as if addressing them solves them.

                  Then it proceeded to misdiagnose what greed is and pretend capitalism is a system designed around greed instead of greed being innate to humans.

                  Then I stopped because it doesn’t answer any of the questions.

                  I’m not saying everything China does is bad, certainly to grow as superpower when the West tries to overthrow all competition is massive achievement. But people are all too willing to deny faults of China.

                    I seems you have no clue what the difference between an industrial capitalist and a finacial capitalist is, because you provided not a example of finacial capitalists existing. You just showed me an example of a industrial/realestate capitalist eating shit. Not so much in cahoots after all then ,right? Not like the CPC declared the “3 red lines” in order to mitigate the bubble forming, not like there’s a 95% homeowner ship rate in china already and it’s just speculators eating shit, not like Asianometry is a very informed lib viewing the deliberate crash from a liberal perspective, right?

                    China’s banks are nationalized. When was theast time you heare about Jack Ma, who wanted to ascend to be a financial capitalist by circumventing finance laws with ANT pay?

                    Communism is when not billionaires. The more Billionaires you have to less communism it is.

                    See, what the CPC is doing is not communism. It’s market socialism, or SWCC to be more accurate, which is not without it’s contradictions. Communism cannot exist when Capitalism and Imperialism exists.

                    When you write stuff like:

                    instead of greed being innate to humans

                    Muh human nature

                    Or

                    As for the imperialism I only hear the same argument as for Western imperialism: someone drew lines on a map 200 years ago

                    I know for a fact you haven’t read theory and don’t want to be talking to you until you haven’t done your homework.
