That is fair and I respect that. Still, this is evidently pretty alienating to indigenous people who hold on to that aspect of their culture, and there are a lot of people who aren’t indigenous that are policing and talking down to people on such a basis.
The vegan -> settler pipeline is real
France can have little a Switzerland as a treat
Why do yall become instant reactionaries when anything negative about white people crops up
Exactly. These racist losers are becoming completely irrelevant. Nothing they can do will stop China’s rise.
Which Mario kart?!
It’s okay to have views on China inseparable from Mike Pompeo’s and to do the work of the imperialists for them by helping them manufacture consent against any state that actually challenges their hegemony.
Wary of “liberal bias” while being an armchair CIA shill
This post seems like such an obvious troll post. In no universe would someone in this situation post something like that.
This reminds me of the post on the old sub with a picture of Matt Christman looking super tired during a stream and a title of something like “My dad died of COVID-19 while I was facetiming him, I’m really gonna miss him”. Of course there were people who thought it was legit.
Yeah, what the actual fuck is with that? Every Nazi the USSR put in the ground is called a victim of communism, but Nazis are completely whitewashed to the point where they are “only” responsible for 6 million deaths. Even forgetting the (being generous) tens of millions of other deaths he caused, Hitler’s plan for the world was literally to starve, force into slavery and straight up murder billions of other people based on their race. How anyone can compare Hitler to Stalin or fascism to communism is absolutely pathetic and goes to show which of the two liberals are willing to whitewash.
I agree that the transphobia is bad even still. I think it’s a necessity that we get people to understand why the things they are saying and doing are transphobic and not just resorting to instabans towards people who have good intentions but are genuinely ignorant Many bans are clearly deserved and are given to people who simply don’t belong on this site, but some in my opinion just turn people away who could easily be educated and reasoned with. At the same time, I get how essentially putting this burden on trans comrades to educate others is kinda problematic. I hope the admins/other users can find a way to work around both of these problems in a way that enhances the whole community.
The bit about (I guess only most, so thanks for that) Dengists being transphobes and genocide deniers I have 0% sympathy for. I’m sorry that you’re in the minority here of people who think China is doing a Holocaust and that said take is not well received here.
Orson Welles was right 1948 is literally happening right now
This is China we’re talking about. Communism or not, these values are going to be dominant in society, especially accounting for china’s unique history involving the opium wars and western exploitation.
I wonder why China blocks access to western internet sites
This is just... yikes.... Anti-racism and anti all kinds of oppression are absolutely inseparable from leftism and core to what we stand for. Pro-inescapable-vegan-assholism is not. To equate the two and blame both sides is a disgusting and hateful form of enlightened centrism that I am not willing to put up with. I am extremely disappointed. Goodbye for the time being.
