Just imagine if Xi Jiping came out tomorrow and said in English “my advisors told of this website called Hexbear, they said that it was the bulwark of socialism in the west, I fired this advisor and they were sent to a reeducation camp. I have spent party resources researching this Hexbear and came to the conclusion that it is reactionary website filled with radical liberals that has bad takes on literally everything. We will be extending the great firewall to block not just Hexbear, but all Lemmy extensions, we cannot taint our brand of Marxism with this adventurist bourgeoisie filth! This E-communism is heretical and everyone who practiced it must be branded with a hot iron on the face so no one can ever take them seriously again, their fingers must be cut off so they can no longer type, their eyes must be glued shut so they cannot read theory to misinterpret it. Not just the Hexbearers, but the Breadtubers, and the Dirtbag Leftists, and the Star Trekkers too! DRIVE OUT THE REVISIONISTS WHO POST BAD TAKES ONLINE!” -Liu Cixin
"Lazy, too concerned with beans. Ultimately, they are liberals."-Lenin when he comes back from the dead
Stalin stopped at Berlin because Hexbears bean farts were too overpowering
What if AES states are actually Pythagorean and accuse us of not being because they consider beans to be alive.
I'ma be hoenst if someone who actually has a degree in Marxism or something dragged us on twitter I might die of shame.
The opinions of anybody who has a twitter account can be safely disregarded
nah, if they engaged with us seriously enough to criticize us, I'd take it as high praise and start bullying people to correct whatever they felt fit to correct us on. in order to be wrong, you have to get in the same zip code as something true first. I'd be much more concerned if they said we're not even wrong.
It's because there is a crypto service with the same name. Chapo.chat is not blocked
Don't think so, just using mobile data via e-sim, doesn't work on the hotel WiFi without vpn.
Everything works here without a VPN if you have a western SIM card, but try accessing it from your hotel WiFi.
I literally had no issues (no VPN either). Mind you I was using a Hong Kong SIM card, but sure if that would make a difference.
I was logging in every day. Occasionally media wouldn't load.
When was it you were in China?
Edit: cause it was this comment from four days ago where I found out that Hexbear was blocked, but only by DNS, not by IP
Yeah I'm a fed
I'm a fed up with the alienation of a-capitalism, wahoo
Honestly, critique from Xi Jinping himself would probably revolutionize our brand of leftist thought from here to Lemmygrad. From where I sit, "critique" is for those you care about, while denigration and disfellowship is for those unworthy of your respect; so if he was critiquing us rather than outright "ion't know those fellas", I'd take that as surprisingly lofty praise even for the critique itself.
Hoping that Xi Jinping posts a scathing takedown of Hexbear and being honoured by it for selfcrit reasons
And they wouldn’t be wrong.
This site is more vibes than materialist theory, but it’s fine, people just want to shitpost and relax after a hard day of work.
We just have to accept the legitimate criticisms as they are.
No, we should criticize everyone else and accept no criticism of ourselves because we are perfect, the struggle sessions are for people we dont like. We should embrace hypocrisy as our goal as leftists should be to enrich each other as comrades. Venmo me 50$, I also accept Apple Pay.
Down with bourgeois counterrevolutionary Venmo and Apple Pay! Uphold the socialist payment systems of Alipay and UnionPay!
Here's your T-34 for housing and your Ushanka, remember not to smile until the Soviet Union reforms.
it’s fine, people just want to shitpost and relax after a hard day of work
Would be extremely funny if this was the response to this type of theoretical criticism
"Hey man I'm shitposting here, nothing here matters enough to take issue with anything I say"
I just spoke with Xi yesterday and he said he loves our posts OP is lying.
"Why should we bother to reply to ? He would reply to us and we would have to reply to his reply. There's no end to that. It would be quite enough for us to announce that is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything."
Chinese nationalists already conflate western liberalism with leftism. And I think a couple media figures promoted patsocs on twitter lol.
The westerners have made a silly website, we shall neither let it past the firewall or reply to it.
Or, we get critiqued but its by Molotov, he never died of old age he's been stuck in a Dacha on Lake Baikal getting increasingly angry at the levels of pure revisionism and is going to see Stalin tonight to do something about this Hexbear issue that somehow Zdhanov hasn't cracked down on.
At least then the EU's "Fund To Counter Disinformation And Protect Democracy Against Scary Non-White Influence " would pay our server costs.
You should appreciate the criticism. It's bad to be in an echo chamber.
