Edit: mods removed the comment? Why? I don’t think the guy was wrong to be concerned about sexual content in books for children and I would have liked my question answered.

It’s probably the mods on your instance (lemmy.ca) that removed the comment. I can still see it.

I also love his videos!

Careful calling those regimes authoritarian. Hexbears like to attack this point by assigning a slightly different definition to authoritarian and then either (a) claim that all governments are “authoritarian” or (b) blame liberals for using this word to demonize socialist states. I once saw someone cite https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Authoritarianism to “prove” that those states are not authoritarian.

Yeah, the Chinese government is totally very democratic and is receptive to the criticism of its citizens! They never censor words and topics they don’t like on their social media platforms!

I fail to see any reason for hating a chat app so passionately except possibly for privacy concerns, which is definitely not the case here.

Ok then, advice rejected.

I apologize for saying “how good it is.” I was in a rush and couldn’t think of a better phrase.

I just read through the article from the Washington Post you linked. That really is bad and I believe that the Trump government should not have treated the (although illegal) immigrants. The grim appearance of that facility really isn’t something that the immigrants should have faced when they set foot on the US. However, compare that to the situation in Xinjiang. Here is an opinion post from the Washington Post. What China is doing to its Uyghurs is genocide. Not that it justifies anything that the US have done to its immigrants, but in comparison what the US is doing seem pretty mild.

I am not going to shut up. I am not going to shut up at anyone’s request. I also believe that their comment had a certain degree of truth to it.

far from perfect can still be good.

What does incarceration rate have to do with how good the country is? Do you really believe that the income is more equal in China? If you are going to talk about the “concentration camps” on the USA border I’m going to need photo evidence too. Here is a photo of the camp in Xinjiang:

No, this photo is not fake.

They did not say that they don’t know shit about the topic, not even close. They simply said their characterization is far off the marks. That means that their understanding of the conflict is far from perfect, but they absolutely do know shit about it.

I agree. People should take how the Chinese government and the US government treat their people into consideration.

This is not like that. The ROC government did not “massacre everyone there.” It did call itself the rightful government of the entire China for several decades, but it has since then moved on.

Is that a bad thing? In your hypothetical situation, Chinese people should be happy about their government selling weaponry to Texas, and the Americans should not support their sale of weaponry. To compare this to the real world scenario, Chinese people should feel angry about this and Americans should feel good. I don’t really get the point you’re trying to convey with your analogy.

You are also begging to be banned. Your comment calling someone a “comprador” is to be removed too.

Why does 50% of hexbears tell people they don’t like to go back to reddit? I am never going back.

now you’re trolling too

Just in case you didn’t know, your comment along with the other replies are a perfect example of brigading.

Yes, I listed Taiwan separately from China.
