To adopt a strong stance might make the leaders look strong, but it comes at the cost of the people's suffering. Time for two sides in the #IsraelPalestineconflict to shake hands, not ruin peace. (By @zzxang86) pic.twitter.com/ct963QWNME— China Daily (@ChinaDaily) May 13, 2021

I know Foreign Policy isn't their actual internal stance, but this is not a great take on Palestine by the CPC Propaganda department organ.

EDIT: They deleted it. Thanks to the chad in the Central Committee who squashed this. Remember, Bullying Works.

    You have to admit it's a little weird to start getting snarky about how there's never any criticism of China... in a thread about criticizing China's foreign policy stance.

    At the very least it muddled whatever point you were trying to make, which is evidenced by the fact that no one thought you are being serious until you had the opportunity to clarify that you were not being ironic several comments deep.

    Also, China struggle sessions are one of the most frequent struggle sessions I see on this website. I don't know where you get the impression that criticism of China is rare in these parts.

            Yeah, using ironic detachment to avoid accountability for your shitty takes just doesn't hit the same.

              May you one day find the strength to forgive me ever questioning Hexbear's impenetrable China discourse.

                Let me ask you to do something for me.

                Go back and read through this entire exchange again with fresh eyes. Is someone who is behaving in the way that you're behaving someone you would be proud to call a comrade? Do you really think that upon reflection you are extending an assumption of good faith to the people you are speaking with in the same way that we had engaged with your post with an assumption of good faith? Is a person who replies in the way that you have been replying someone you would be willing to hash criticism out with in order to learn about an issue more deeply with?

                Because that is not the impression I have received from your posts. You aren't valiantly waging a struggle to boldly champion an unpopular opinion, you're just being a contrarian edgelord. I'm begging you to take some time, reflect, and do some self-criticism so that you can be a better comrade.
