But wasn’t Pakistan also thoroughly a US puppet at this point?

Its cool that you admitted you just didn’t want anyone from hexbear to be right. That takes a lot of insight. You should consider opening your mind now to the possibility that you could be wrong about much more. You reflexive distaste for hexbear probably has more to do with your own cognitive dissonance than whether our opinions are wrong. Most of the people (bots) on hexbear were (are) libs too, but at some point opened their minds and began to approach history, political-economy, and current events with a more critical eye.

checkmate! it can’t be called a war if we simply lob misiles at a country and arm every lunatic we find, completely destroying it in the process

I mean, you are right. I didn’t really interrogate the survey, but if they were using an appropriate sample size and were able to eliminate big variable with their collection method… it should be significant enough to reflect the larger population… All of that seems unlikely anyway in a country that is in a civil war… Did they ask people in the Donbas? Did people fighting on the front lines get asked? (or would anyone even answer a survey like this from a combat zone?) Did they ask people outside of Lviv?

I just think that it is likely that is 430 people out of 1000 said they thought nazi ideology was prevalent than it probably is

idk, i mean, you are right… but 43% of the country believing that nazi ideology is rampant is a pretty searing indictment of the other ~57% of the country.

please, enlighten me, what is this utopia with which you speak of?

Under your definition, nearly every person is living under fascism. That is why it is meaningless

“The people of China deserve better. Good thing they have me to decide for them”

You either made up stuff, or never really addressed my points, so I am going to have to refer you to this insightful guide.

Listen, Fat! The US economy is doing better than any economy has every done in history, Jack. I call it Bidenomics. Get with the program.

What a useless definition. It doesn’t even consider the class character of fascism.

Authoritarian is a useless word. It literally could be used to describe any state.

China is actually highly democratic, but that would require expanding your bourgeois ideas about democracy and understanding how their system actually works in practice.

Misogyny is a problem everywhere and is in no way unique to fascism or any political economy, is predates capitalism by thousands of years. I agree it should be abolished, and that is what socialism aspires to do. But the idea that it can be eliminated by flipping a switch is idealist and unrealistic. There is plenty of truth to the critique that patriarchy still exists in China, but the PRC has maybe also done more than any other state to end some of the most oppressive forms of misogyny, for the most number of women, in history.

Propaganda about past grievances? That is too vague to be meaningful either. Some past grievances, like the Japanese war crimes in China, are legitimate. Others, like conspiracies about “judeo-bolshevism” are not. The term “propaganda” here is loaded too, like if the US government does its best to bury its history of chattel slavery (like it is doing in florida, for instance), would it be “propaganda about past grievances” to fight back against that? Would you tell the grandchild of a slave in Florida that by spreading information as wide as possible to the people about the crime of slavery it is somehow fascist? it makes no sense

They Chinese people are a great people and deserve a better government than the fascist regime lead by Winnie Xi Pooh.

“I am totally not racist, I love the chinese people. I just love endlessly repeating that their leader is a yellow bear! funny, right?”

Idk how to tell you this, but the CPC and the Chinese state have like 90% approval from the Chinese people according to western academic sources beloved by libs.

“brigade”

whatever you say dude, the post was on our feed

i am pretty sure kids die every year because of that shit

“People who disagree with me are mentally ill and worthless. I, for one, prefer to create my own comfortable eco chamber, never look back, and then accuse them of living in an eco chamber.”

Why don’t you read the book, investigate the citations and claims, and report back on whether the text is fabricated?

Whether or not the writer has a connection to China or the DPRK doesn’t actually impact the soundness of any claim. If anything, you are taking an extreme position about academic authority that isn’t reflective of reality. You should use your critical thinking skills to assess the claims in the book instead of attacking the author because they might be a Korean or Chinese national. It is kinda racist to assume someone from China or Pyongyang are unable to write on these topics without it being “propaganda”

What would that have to do with anything? You should log off and touch grass, bigot.
