I think it’s important to discuss the state of the community every now and then - feedback for mod behaviour, what’s going wrong, what’s going right, what news is interesting, what news is boring, what should there be more of, what should there be less of.

Mods feel free to remove this post if it violates rules, but I think it’s an important discussion to have.

    The first claim is just straight plain old racism, while the second reeks of confused lib. Either way, calling someone a slave in this context is almost certainly meant as an insult to the political organisation of the state and not to its people. This distinction is important with respect to moderation.

    I consider the proletariat of capitalist societies to be slaves by definition. Thus if I were convinced that the PRC was capitalist, I could stand behind this sentiment.

        How was I racist? Seems to me that your retort targets some untrue idea in your head about who I am rather than what I actually wrote.

        I also do not understand why you made this post if you do not actually make an attempt at trying to understand the replies in return.
