By being 'slightly critical' you do mean complaining about homeless people, right?

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

By “being slightly critical” they mean even slightly implying that China is not in every way a completely perfect utopian paradise incapable of doing wrong.

Lol what a blatant lie. OP's posts that got removed were about the homeless and had nothing to do with China.

Don't y'all ever get tired of making shit up and lying about us?

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry, I don't know what OP's posts were. OP can fuck themself in that case

Sorry I was so hostile. But yeah there's a reason they left it vague and didn't give any examples.

I'm from hexbear, people are critical of it all the time on hexbear. You just can't criticize China and not know the people there are far better off than those in the US

You cannot acknowledge anything even slightly negative that China has ever done without being jumped all over

Mao killing the sparrows during the four pests campaign was bad. The cultural revolution produced excesses that didn't need to happen if it was handled better.

Oh look nobody on hexbear is going to hate on this comment.

Modern day China is both capitalist and emperialist and has a disregard for basic human rights. It is not in any way shape or form a communist state. Oh, and it actively tries to censor and erase the fact that it ran down its own citizens with tanks.

Do you see how dishonest it is to claim that even slightly criticism of China is forbidden on Hexbear and then when the person speaks to you offers substantial criticism, your counterpoint is that we disagree when you say extremely bad shit about China?

What is a slightly negative thing about China that you feel you couldn't share on hexbear.net?

[–] LittleLordLimerick@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Listen, yes, I do see that I'm being unfair and dishonest. I tend to pop off without thinking

How is China imperialist? The other stuff you're saying us wrong too, but i know the propaganda you will point to to get there. But imperialist? You mean Belt and Road? Building hospitals in Africa?

And other unsourced, unsupported, and racist claims, presented by your local liberal.
