Oh yeah https://hexbear.net/post/6233308/6530502 Its bad https://hexbear.net/post/6251000/6536572?sort=Top
I find it crazy that they will ban people for the most childish, petty, stupid shit. Yet will allow blatant wrecker ultras on there with zero pushback.
I’ve been on here long enough to remember when they refederated. It was going to be good because it’s a pro-AES space. Whoops looks like that went out the window quickly!
jesus. I thought there was bad egg in the admin team like a year ago. Now it looks like a full blown trot/fed infestation.
By the way they aint even dunking on china that much they are making very sensical criticisms. like how capitalist spain and italy, by trying to hijack the efforts of the flotilla, are still doing more than china has ever done (which is nothing btw). And for stating that china is profiteering from this genocide and therefore is complicit I got perma’d from the deprogram sub on reddit before it got nuked. My comment got like 30 upvotes too so even the dengists agreed.
Yeah. Dengists do seem to ban people for the pettiest shit.
Creating infrastructure throughout the Global South, selling weapons and other important goods to the resistance, bypassing US “sanctions” against Iran, etc. is “nothing”? It’s entirely fair to criticize China for still trading with Israel but this is nonsense
What do dengist have to do with anything in this context?
I don’t think it’s correct to say China has done nothing in regards to Palestine. For example, there was the 2024 Beijing Declaration last year. To quote form said linked article
Outside of that, from reading those threads above, one of the comments someone mentioned how Hamas used a weapon from China like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HJ-8#Gaza_Strip
Another thing to is it’s more besides that, like the Zijiang M99
It’s really doubtful it’s the barret made M99. To add, from looking around there are two tweets, here and here showing the Zijang M99, and then there a news source talking about it’s use here To add that news source mentions this
Only issue is I’m having trouble finding where that announcement was said? Either way It is clear that they are using weapons from China at the very least.
Do note, I do think China should stop trade with “Israel” but I want to address this. Mainly to go to trade with what China sells from “Israel” where “Israel” buys from China primarily consists of
Compared to the United States that
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/22/which-countries-trade-the-most-with-israel-and-what-do-they-buy-and-sell
Either way it’s the United States that trades the most with “Israel” and props it up. Again, this isn’t to say China should continuing trade, it would be nice if they didn’t, but it would not change things too much even if China did stop trade. Since again, “Israel” is propped up by imperial core countries.
Either way it isn’t correct to say China has done none nothing. It would be nice if China did more, sure I can agree with that. However ultimately, the responsibility lies with the people in the global north to do something against their governments to stop contributing to/participating in genocide. Since to go to the United States for example, how many genocides has the United States been involved since it’s conception like against the various First Nations, to around the world like in Latin America? For the United States, genocide won’t end just with Palestine, there will be more in the future if those in the United States don’t decolonize and overthrow the U.S.
Also it is rather chauvinistic and idealistic to paint China as the world’s savior as well, since China will not be the world savior not, and won’t ever be. That just always been idealistic nonsense. To add, it is also chauvinistic to hold China responsible for the U.S-Israel genocide against Palestine. Why should China, and the world, mainly the global south at large, be held responsible for the horrible acts that the global north like the United States commits and not the global north and people within those countries held responsible for those acts instead?
Again that isn’t to say China couldn’t do more, they could, but the fault lies with the global north at the end of the day and for those within to do build and make revolution. Like Che Guevara said “The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.” and revolution is possible within those global north countries.
GOOD post
Bro wht are you yappin about they have the most based takes i have seen
“Ultra is already becoming the new “tankie”, nothing is more harmful to leftist agitations than crypto-trotskyists spewing intellectualized terms into the mainstream.” Lmao its so trueeee. Like you quote Lenin at a dengist who calls you a fucking ultra like grow the fuck up my guy I have talked to many ultras (esp on r*ddit) and they are FUCKING INSUFFERABLE just please do not use slurs like “ultra” at people its very tiring.
Oh my god what is going on has the psyop succeeded? Has the western MLs been fully infiltrated by chinese/russian bots the same way ultras/most anarchists got destroyed by the western lib-bots?
Is this a joke?
Neither The fact that you didnt actually respond and my comment was removed and i was banned for 2 weeks doesnt help prove me wrong
Yeah I’m not reading all of that. China stays winning 🇨🇳 cope and seethe about it.
It depends on the context of what is “childish, petty, stupid shit” but generally I have noticed some strange priorities and a bit of a persistent toxicity that seems to end up in fruitless struggle sessions. News thread is still great otherwise, but yeah, you aren’t wrong in that I’ve noticed quite a shift on China recently.
