The real lefty nemesis are all the feds who pretend to be leftists until they see any leftist doing any real leftism and then they immediately shove the boot all the way down their gullet

The US drone strikes it's own citizens on foreign soil so yet again China is doing a bad thing that's not nearly as bad as what the US is doing and everyone just ignores what the US is doing and shouts BUT CHYNA! Racist hacks

Abducting someone is only "abhorrent" without the context. It's only bad if you assume they don't have a good reason for it. And you can only assume they don't have a good reason for it if you buy into the propaganda that the Chinese government is some entity made of pure evil.

Maybe these folks were past their visa, or were being extradited for some crime. Who knows. There are lots of super valid reasons for an embassy to "abduct" someone. World governments do that kind of shit all of the time for totally normal reasons. And yet where's the article about "German Embassy KIDNAPS man who was staying in the US on an expired visa." They don't exist because people naturally assume that white governments have a good reason for doing something and non white governments don't. It just racism plain and simple.

Sure maybe the Chinese government is just going around risking international incidents because some random dude is doing thought crime. Or maybe they're just getting them out of the country because they're not supposed to be there anymore. One of those is significantly more likely than the other.

That's my point, said article doesn't exist, because mundane shit like "embassy does its job" is only "news" when "non white bad people country does things." It's only news when it feeds the racist propaganda machine.

They probably are. They probably aren't covering them in English though, it's not for English speaking audiences. China, as an example, has very publicly chastised the US for its countless human rights violations over the years. Many non-Western countries have.

You're talking about my case here, but your case basically boils down to "I don't see countries reporting on Western crimes in English, so it must not be happening" which...is certainly an argument you could make. Western countries have a horrible track record of reporting on their own crimes, and non Western countries probably aren't writing lots of English articles for English speaking audiences because that isn't who their readership is. I guess if you're fluent in some other languages and spend a lot of time reading non Western media in non-English languages then you'd have a stronger argument here. I kinda doubt that though. And I bet if I did start pulling out less Western media sources that do report in English like Al Jazeera or RT I would be immediately called out for parroting anti-Western propaganda. It's a real catch 22.

My argument is "Western governments fund propaganda efforts against their perceived competition, so stop parroting it as if it's objective fact." They don't even hide that they're doing it, it's not like this is some nutter conspiracy theory. There is plenty to be critical of China for, but "Chinese Embassy Doing Embassy Things" isn't one of them and only serves to fuel anti Asian racism and propaganda.

There's nothing more anti fascist than directly funding and supporting one of the largest genocides of all time. The Palestinian people are loving all the democracy that is killing their children and starving them to death.

The Democrats aren't doing anything to slow down a descent into fascism. In fact it could and should be argued they're accelerating it by not offering any reasonable alternatives to the type of populist fascism the American right offers. To be described as slowing fascism they would have to be actually doing something to slow it rather than letting it happen but tutting quietly about it. The only thing they're doing is spitting in the face of their constituents in favor of the asks of their capitalist donors.

It isn't though, because it becomes harder for socialists to organize socialist-adjacent libs when said libs are convinced that "Well if I just vote THIS ONE MORE TIME things will get better." The lie the Democrats are selling is that they're actually a real opposition to the right, but it's a lie. They're using that lie specifically to draw people away from the promise of real change through meaningful action, and they reason they're doing that is to protect the interests of capital. Ask anyone who organizes how much easier the actual organizing part is when a Republican is in power; it's way easier because folks can't hide behind that "well maybe if we just try harder we can get the Democrats to care about us." Nobody feels that way when Democrats have no power so they actually engage with organizers. Logistically it might be harder, legally it might be harder, it might be more dangerous...but the actual human to human conversations are much easier when libs aren't under the influence of that "Just one more vote" lie, and that human connection is the thing that builds the kind of power necessary for the changes we need.

We gotta stop pretending like anything is easier or better under Democrats. They're good at making us feel like they are ignoring us or giving us space, but they aren't. They're actively hampering real action and real organizing.

You've clearly never posted on Hexbear because we often have lengthy discussions specifically because you can't just downvote and move on.

You'll probably get to experience that now in fact as all the Hexbears who see this go "uh that's wrong" and tell you rather than downvote you. It's a great community building tool.

Anyway downbear

Orwell was a well known anti communist, so yeah, pretty lib take to defend him. Seems called for to me. I bet you didn't get banned for having one lib take though

Infamousblt , 2 months ago

By your own admission he was a bigoted homophobe, but he's still not a lib? What is he then?

Infamousblt , 2 months ago

So he was a right wing / conservative anarchist? Also known as a libertarian?

I guess it could be argued that libertarians aren't necessarily neoliberals in the modern context, so okay, I'd be willing to admit he might not be a lib. However libertarians are even worse, so that's even more funny that you're defending him.

Infamousblt , 2 months ago

Conservatives anarchists want me and my comrades dead, so yes, I'm not super interested in hearing you out on this. Conservatism is at direct odds with literally me being alive. I'm seeing now why Hexbear banned you for sure. You literally want us dead of course you got banned
