This thread is literally discussing hexbear, and it also shows up in our all thread. By your own definition we are not brigading

Their secret police.
Our civilian police.
Their "authoritarianism".
Our law and order.
Their concentration camps.
Our massive prison industrial complex enforcing slave labour on minorities.

Also there's no proof of a genocide going on in China. The main proponent of the accusations is the Falun Gong and Adrian Zenz - a man on a divine mission to crush communism, who has made frequent and egregious "errors" in his translation and methodology.
On the other hand countries in the EU are funding refugee "camps" like that on Moria, with conditions so horrible people are fleeing daily, and the EU is funding border patrols in Turkey that make use of excessive force. These actions would by any fair definition be genocide.
Likewise the United States is far from innocent, both at the border with Mexico where there's many reports of militias hunting refugees, and in the large prison-industrial complex which houses the largest prisoner population in the world - a population that has an outsized number of minorities. These are worked to death. By any fair definition the US is carrying out a genocide.
However it is these countries' accusations we should somehow take seriously? Why? Why should we take What France claims China is doing at face value, when France itself is embroiled in colonial wars in Africa? What reason have these countries given us? The United States especially has a proven track record of lying in order to foment ill will against a geopolitical enemy.

There sure are a lot of Lemmy bro-gaders and NATO shillbots in this thread. That's the only explanation for people disagreeing with me.

They never respond with actual examples.

Edit: Lmao they've responded with a post that points out Ukraine has been killing people in the Donbas before the war started and a post that highlights the many offramps to the current conflict

You are a lib for disagreeing with me, the one true leftist.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago

You might claim you are, but you're acting like a LIB and actions are what determine what we are

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 76 points 1 year ago

Libs and calling responding to a post that pops up on our feed "brigading"
Libs and calling claims with citations and references "propaganda"

I believe that degrading the army of one of the US greatest geopolitical world rivals at the cost of roughly 3% of the DoD budget is money well spent.

They're not gonna let you into the club just because you lick the boot leather. I believe the 100.000s of dead ukrainians are more important than some vague US geopolitical goal.

The Ukrainians are fighting this war for their own purpose, to reject tyrannical rule.

The ukrainians are forcibly conscripted and banned from leaving their country. They do not want to fight.

The US didn't impose this war, 100,000 Russians invading did

Yeah one day putler just woke up and felt like invading, that's what happened.

If you think this is such a good war, go volunteer.

You complained about homeless people you weasely little liar. Go cry about it on /pol/ or go back to reddit

Yeah you're right shits fucked so let's just accept the status quo, oh would you look at that you're just supporting the current oppressive system.
Being a centrist or "apolotical" is just being a conservative while still being able to fuck

Libs talking about stuff they obviously don't understand? Check.

An incredibly high number of comments politely explaining things? Check.

Libs being snarky and then being surprised when they get the same uncivil attitude right back? Check.

Uh yeah it's hexbear time

"wealth for many" yeah but not the majority, and oh whoops what happened to the rest? Oh boy would you look at that they're all destitute because capital needs a reserve army of labour in order to function.

Oh whoops would you look at that the market has a tendency to create a monopoly, that's weird.

Oh wait would you look at that the regulations are ineffective because the capitalists hold outsized influence in literally every capitalist "democracy" due to them holding the means of production, them having more resources available, which then gives them more time and ability to influence elections. Oh whoops media is a market and media shapes perception how did that happen?

Corruption isn't a bug, it's a feature.

Reality has a Marxist bias
