By being 'slightly critical' you do mean complaining about homeless people, right?
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?
Sorry, I don't know what OP's posts were. OP can fuck themself in that case
Really? You sounded like you knew when you made this comment:
Okay? I didn't
Then why make that comment pretending you did?
Listen I was just being snarky and reactive. I jumped in here and started moshing around with no context.

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?
Listen, yes, I do see that I'm being unfair and dishonest. I tend to pop off without thinking
Yeah that's clear
Kind of rude of you to agree with me
Yeah looking at your other comments mine was uncalled for.
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?
Let's start with Tibet.
You mean the theocratic slaver state of Tibet that was liberated by the PLA? That's a fine place to start to show that you are just another western left anti-communist.
Edit: I'd recommend Blackshirts and Reds to understand the phenomenon of left anti-communism in the West. If you're serious about communism, it might help you understand the rift driven between you and the people you call "tankies" https://mltheory.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/michael-parenti-blackshirts-and-reds_-rational-fascism-and-the-overthrow-of-communism-2001.pdf
Yes yes yes, China freed and liberated Tibet by taking it over. Of course. Nothing imperialist about that.
Just like the US has been liberating and freeing all those people in the middle east.
There's a big a difference between the two actions. Let's start with the US. They "liberate" Iraq and Afghanistan and proceed to extract value out of the country. Byzantine networks of private contractor orgs: Haliburton, KBR, Blackwater all making money, along with the military industrial profiteer complex. These countriee were hollowed out for profit and foreign extraction. US empire nakedly acts to make money for the ruling class.
Now, where is that in Tibet? Where is the capitalist extraction? Where is the hollowing out and using up of resources? People in Tibet are now freer, and better educated, and live better lives now than when they were slaves to the lamas. Its not cynical double speak to call what happened in Tibet liberation the way the US government claimed to he liberating Iraq. They freed an enslaved people, that's not an act of imperialism just because it involved an army. An army literally named the People's Liberation Army

Oh, and it actively tries to censor and erase the fact that it ran down its own citizens with tanks.
Are you saying that China doesn't censor or try to hide this? Can I just go to Tienanmen square and start talking to locals about what happened there and they'll openly talk about how awful it was?
What do you think happened at Tienanmen Square? Because you might want to figure that out before you start grinning like a moron while asking a Chinese person about "how awful what happened at Tienanmen Square was".
I don't understand what you're trying to get at here. Are you suggesting there was no massacre?
While we're on the subject of propaganda: what was it that made you believe China "ran down its own citizens with tanks"? What is the actual source of this belief.
"I saw a picture of a man in front of a tank, and we all know how evil chinese people are, so it's not hard to figure out what happened."
That's my assumption, yes.
And other unsourced, unsupported, and racist claims, presented by your local liberal.
Any sources that I provide will be dismissed as western propoganda.
Its not our fault if the information you believe is Western propoganda
I mean it kind of is you guys need to do a better job with the propagandizing.
fair point. Its really hard to compete with the US when it comes to propaganda, though
Correctly too.

We can see your removed comments in the mod log FYI.
I have no removed comments, but go off on your little power trip 🙄
Power trip ? Did you you presume I am a mod?
I ANT NO LIBERAL MOTHER FU...
Apologies
We can see the OP's removed comments is what they meant. They weren't about China.
Okay, but in my defense, I am not very smart
They were smoking meth. How safe would you feel around a stranger doing that while locked in a moving train car?
Lmao thanks for removing all doubt.
As safe as I would feel if a unicorn got on the train and started running around, which also didn't happen.
Were smoking it in a dangerous or threatening way?
I would let them smoke their meth in peace, and not dehumanize them online
I’d ask for a hit. It’s painfully obvious how middle class you are
Safer than I’d feel standing next to you
