    This would be prime fodder for one of those “in communist China” bits, but I’m too disgusted by what I just read. What the fuck.

        literally always 100% projection, no idiomatic hyperbole or exaggeration.

        Like literally always. No exceptions. It's a biological law at this point.

            when in reality they’re both pretty fucking bad. Fuck the US, fuck China.

            Yeah they are both pretty bad

            The British empire and the local Mcdonald's manager who banned me for swiping too many ketchup packets are also both pretty bad. That's why I complain about them the same amount, because they're equally bad and deserve equal criticism.

            If you have a problem with this, you're probably a dang honey-bear-worshipping wumao. Fuckin hate these wumaos tbh. China needs to gtfo Iraq and apologize + reparations for killing the Native Americans. Fuck China in particular until it does that, no amount of wumao trolling will change my opinion.

                    @lvysaur didn't use my arguments against me, they used conservative arguments against an anarchist. Uh, good job, I guess?

                      Remember, the confederates may have been bad, but the slaves also ate pork which means they literally killed animals--so they're both bad. Fuck the USA, fuck China.

                      Uh anarchists (at least internet ones, I have no beef with real anarchists out there doing praxis) don't think wumao is a slur, they think going to war with china is cool and good, and yes they support many neoliberal interventions everywhere. This is literally why MLs and armchair anarchists will never get along

                          Excuse me? You guys uncritically support the protestors in HK and Belarus, you called Castro a genocidal dictator for the longest time, you were shit talking Evo Morales till he was couped, you think "state capitalism" is a thing, you think that Joe Biden "lets finally succeed in overthrowing Venezuela" is harm reduction. Like, this is common knowledge. If you'd like to prove me wrong you can find one (1) popular post that does the opposite coming from an "anarchist"

                            Please, I implore you to come visit some anarchist spaces. I promise a lot of your assumptions are wrong.

                            And even if some anarchists support the things you claim they support, that doesn't mean I do. It's generally good to not assume the absolute worst caricature of your conversational opponent.

                              I find it difficult to give anarchists any benefit of the doubt when their worldview literally lines up with the worldview the average american citizen held during the Red Scare, and refuses to acknowledge it or even discuss it without devolving into accusations of Red Fascism

                              Also links 1 and 2 showed me that some anarchists don't want to vote for Joe Biden after he trash talked you guys, so I guess that's nice, but it seems to me that if he didn't say anything about anarchists but held the exact same political beliefs you'd all be rallying around him

                              Link 3 literally calls China state capitalism, so I guess good on you for opposing war with China? Not one of my accusations but honestly good to know, some anarchists I've seen unironically advocate nuking China to free the Uighurs

                                I'm not going to argue with you, because the caricature you're portraying doesn't exist. I'm an anarchist, I spend a lot of time in anarchist spaces both online and offline, and the vast majority of anarchists don't agree with anything you're saying. Anarchists are against all wars, so no supporting war with China. Anarchists are against all states, so no supporting the US. Anarchists are often, but not always, against electoralism, so the idea that we overwhelmingly support Joe Biden is strange to say the least.

                                The fact is you're wrong about anarchists. And it's really too bad, because you'd find the reality to be a lot more tolerable than you think. I hope one day you come around and see that we're not the enemy. ❤️

                                  There's a reason I made it a point to differentiate from anarchists and online anarchists. I haven't met any anarchists in real life, so the only exposure I get is online, and holy shit the people who call themselves anarchists are insufferable. I'm sure they don't actually represent anarchist ideology, but "real" anarchists never call them out when they support neoliberal interventionism, or when they justify attacking MLs when said MLs are in the middle of a conflict with capitalists/monarchists. In contrast to MLs, who will call each other out on a bad take.

                                  I actually don't have a preference, as I'm an anticapitalist, and am willing to bring about communism in whichever way will work. But I actually cannot and will not side with people who uncritically cite Adrian Zenz or other state media (and these people often stop arguing the moment that man is brought up, and instead resort to dogpiling in order to suppress any real discussion)

      I honestly want to ask liberals what Biden is actually going to do about this garbage and the imperialist shit in general and get an actual answer, considering his previous admin was responsible for starting the road for this. Conservatives are just fascists openly cheering at this point and will all get the wall, but I want to see liberals justify this for their war criminal doing nothing, but rather contributing to it and likely continuing it if he gets power.
