The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Yes, the same goes for Russians (when it comes to libs) and Muslims (when it comes to Hinduvatas, Zionists, Christian chauvinists (even when nominally atheist)).
The race mythologies that propagate in colonial/neo-colonial societies always have roughly similar forms because they always occupy similar niches. The colonial contradictions across different societies are very similar to one another.
This is similar to how Marxist theory is roughly the same regardless of the nations involved because the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and proletariat has many transnational characteristics.
In this specific case, you have 2 nations (modern Chinese and early 20th century Jews) who have been on the receiving end of colonialism but have nonetheless become very rich very quickly. Well, the upper strata of these nations became very rich very quickly, and very visibly. This causes a lot of anxiety amongst those who benefit from colonialism. If these nations are allowed to become too rich and powerful, the material basis of colonialism will collapse. They thus concoct conspiracy theories about their opponents, who are racially (or "culturally") inferior, but managed to become powerful because of their scheming. These "dangerous elements" are aiming to overturn the natural order of the world. Or so goes the racist logic.
