Prepare for the 14year Olds on hexbear to come in and pretend that China has a great government

[–] BigNote@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

You know, that actually makes sense. 14-year-olds. It would explain a lot about hexbears.

Yeah, the Chinese government is totally very democratic and is receptive to the criticism of its citizens! They never censor words and topics they don't like on their social media platforms!

It also respects women so much and represents them very proportionally

Also they don't censor any single website internationally

Just got banned from Hexbear for saying something negative about China and the US at the same time. They have no tolerance of any discussion that challenges their preconceptions.

I agree. Fascist countries like Denmark, Germany and Canada often get called "socialist" and they have been disastrous for the reputation of socialism.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course /s. Germany, with Fuhrer Schultz, Denmark with Grand Admiral Frederiksen (I had to look it up lmao), and Canada with Supreme Commander Trudeau. All of them are actively involved in passing legislation against socialists and Muslims. All of them are involved in gathering Muslims into re-education camps. When socialists protested their respective governments for starting to become capitalist, they were run over by tanks. Also, all of these governments prevent their citizens from accessing the internet outside their own countries. Agreed! Very fascist indeed!

Dayum... That's shameful for Denmark. As for the German far right, polls tell many different stories. The German government is still very democratic. What about Canada? You also accused them of fascism.

[–] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I would agree that the German government is the most decent in Western Europe. But the far right and anti-refugee sentiment in Germany has risen dramatically, and it wasn't that great to begin with.

But just to add a few more examples, you have places like Italy, Spain (the current government is still a direct descendant of Franco's fascist monarchy) and France (see latest laws against Muslims and Arabs, and just the rising hatred in general).

The point is, Western Europe is always painted as this morally superior place, when it is very much not. People are quick to shit talk third world countries as if we're the only ones dealing with fascistic governments. At least we acknowledge it. So many Europeans do not.

Tankies forget that Trotsky existed.

You forgot "I wonder why fuel prices are sky rocketing even though we voted a president that promised to fight fossil fuels for climate bullshit"

Enjoy! I'll be here laughing.
