Valid criticisms tbh (I even could say the same as a day 0 account lol)

Moderation isn't going to "improve" because they generally are fine with everyone being goofballs, so I wouldn't expect that.

Some people have the cascade of shitposting and useless emojis coming with their crappy views, but I don't think our instance is great at propaganda or ROE, which is unfortunate. Would love to see what we could do with a little discipline.

Also the emojis on every other instance and all mobile apps look more obnoxious because they don't downscale to their intended resolution.

We literally bring it up ourselves for no particular reason

The narrative changed about 10 years ago to "well it's happening, but humans can't do anything about it, it's a natural process". No real difference, but it puts a bit more smoke and mirrors up for the rubes who believe that sort of thing since it sounds a bit less wrong.

Interesting that you can tell where someone's political development kinda "paused" based on this. A dork who thinks climate change isn't happening is a full 10 years behind their fellow dorks.

I'm more annoyed with the people who reply to this low-effort garbage

This is not correct, I encourage you to do some more reading about how coats are made if you'd like to understand this better.

I see your point, but that's a topic that should be up for discussion among your hypothetical Party/legislature. I don't think it has a clear answer.

You don't see his pandering to the EU as stumbling backwards into this whole situation in the first place?

I understand that it comes across as provocative, but from what I understand about his (attempted) maneuvering over the past couple years, he's kind of a spineless and weak leader who trusted the wrong side and got his country embroiled in a massive conflict.

NATO and the US are not trustworthy allies, and they let him talk up "Ukraine joining NATO ", a very dangerous thing to do, but I don't believe they had any intention of letting them in at any point. Zelensky should have understood this.

(not a liberal, but) The infrastructure bill was mediocre but should lead to some improvements over the next decade or so.

They recently protected some indigenous land from uranium mining.

Ummmmmmm, anything else after the last 3 years or so?

The Chinese government stacks the cards though it actually has the capability to use some toothpicks to hold them in place, and will immediately rebuild it things start to fall apart.

To contrast, the US will flounder and pull their one "low interest rates" lever while having a political blowout over some sort of stimulus funding package that probably won't pass.

In contrast to many others coming over from my instance, I'd say the outright "support" of the PRC is not really my thing, to say the least. My comrades won't admit this directly, but a lot of that energy is indeed contrarian-posting for funsies, although several are genuine.

That said, it is incredibly important to carefully analyze the country as a socialist, because for a minute there they were successful in overthrowing capitalism (kinda what we all want)!

Many good and bad things have happened since then under the leadership of the Communist Party. We should carefully analyze these decisions, particularly after analyzing the historical context in which they occurred. We also need to critically evaluate our sources of information, since I hope that we can acknowledge that Western powers have a vested interest in seeing the continuation of the capitalist system. If most of your sources are in English, they will generally be heavily slanted against the anti-capitalist movements.

I think that your way of calling the country "fascist" exposes that your analysis is incomplete. The Chinese government is, in fact, flawed, but why? Fascism means something very specific, and the flaws in the PRC are not the same as what you see in 1930s Italy and Germany. The historical contexts, and economic structures under which they operate are very different.

Been telling y'all the past couple weeks lol
