Doesn’t looks like you got banned from hexbear, just a few 30 day ones from lemmygrad. You had some posts removed for making baseless assertions, for example:
People responding correctly pointing out how we really should be most concerned about our own governments actions and the amount of police violence to any leftwing protest
Like I’ve protested in plenty countries, only been shot with fucking beanbags and gassed when it was in the US.
ever got beaten up by 3 chinese police officers for wanting free hongkong?
sure, but I want to inform people and since the people on lemmygrad and hexbear already know that america is bad, I wanted to introduce them to dystopian China
US State Department 🤝 You
You mean british colonial Hong Kong. Hong Kong is going to have more democratic institutions as they integrate with Chinese democracy.
please enlighten me, how is China a democracy?
That’s not exactly a novel thing though, you can find that opinion on pretty much any lemmy instance besides those two. Frankly I’m more concerned about my own government spending endless amounts of money on weapons to murder civilians than I am about hong kong, people I actually know have been injured by cops protesting in the US, from where I’m standing that’s the primary violent police state to be dismantled.
yeah, but the argument was on these two
I don’t want that either, but I also don’t want people giving money to China for cheap low quality products which finances konzentration camps and suppressing hongkong and I don’t like people who say the west is imperialist but in the same breath simp for China and Russia, because all nation states are imperialist by concept.
for me this is the same with China, I know some chinese people that still suffer under the CCP even tho they live in another country now
I have some bad news about America if you buy food here, it’s all terrible quality and harvested with a ton of forced prison labor, America has more people imprisoned than any country on the planet. I live here so it’s a bigger issue to me than what its state enemies are doing on the other side of the planet.
Is China sending cops to other countries to beat them up or something?
Oh, you mean like this? (There are plenty of news stories about this happening, even in left-leaning publications.)
I don’t get it why it’s always deflect on China, Russia, and other authoritarian regimes, but attack attack attack for the US. Why is it so terrible to admit that authoritarianism is wrong, period, regardless of whether it’s nominally capitalist or whether they claim to be communist?

State represssion is bad, however I live in the US, and if you live in any western country your government is far more beholden to the US war criminals than China. I prefer to focus my energy on the country supposed to be representing my interests instead doing horrible violence
Of course, China is the believable one here, right? Because normally that would be done by a consulate. And the fact that you ignore all the reporting to zero in on China’s statement is, well, kind of undermining what little credibility you might have here.
It’s like people claiming that they’re leftists, while only attacking Dems and their policies; it’s not leftism, it’s covert support for fascism.
I don’t find fearmongering about China to be worthwhile, and don’t see why I can’t take their position at face value if we’re taking western positions at face value. I really don’t see the issue with, or grand conspiracy behind, Chinese people living abroad volunteering to help other Chinese people living abroad
A lot of countries have like one guy doing volunteer/low pay work in some random spot in the country far from a consulate to help people with papers and so on. Its super common.
but you agree that China is at least as bad as the US, right?
China does cringe shit all the time, it’s got plenty of its own issues. The US is at the helm of a world spanning empire built on genocide. I don’t live in China, it’s not my first priority.
