I’ve been called a racist, a homophobe (???) and worst of all a liberal and a fascist (same thing apparently /s) all because I insisted that China isn’t worth simping for.
What I hate most about tankies is that they are the only true leftists and anybody who disagrees with them is just a poser and a liberal. Especially anarchists.
For clarity, the thread you are talking about was filled with reasonable discussion that you doubled down on ignoring. The biggest thing people took issue with is your insistence on having a negative opinion towards something you in the same breath admitted you lacked real knowledge of how the PRC works. There’s a difference between having an opinion based on strong investigation, and one made by vibes, something pointed out repeatedly to you.
I provided much more than CGTN, and that was with respect to legal structures alone. Everyone else provided plenty of evidence as well. You provided very little and doubled down on anti-China myths.
Did you really learn absolutely nothing from that thread? I figured there was a solid chance you’d change your perspective at the minimum, but you just double down further and further.
Why are you so hung up on this? I didn’t come here to debate you. But fine I’ll take you seriously one more time. But I’m pretty sure all you’re gonna do is dismiss everything I say as myths (or just ignore it alltogether), and then pretend you gave convincing arguments because you mentioned whole process democracy, and call me a liberal. Feel free to prove me wrong. Here we go:
There is ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang in which China has piggy-backed on the US “war on terror” as an excuse to repress muslim populations. This is officially called “Strike Hard Campaign against Violent Terrorism”. Do I really need to say more?
Taiwan has its own democracy and wants to be independent, yet China claims it as its own.
Yes there’s asterisks and details and questionable involvement from the West in all of this, but these aren’t “myths”.
Sinologists from various countries have stated that they or their colleagues have been barred from entry or held by authorities for weeks because of what they’ve said about China. For example I just heard Weigelin-Schwiedrzik say this on a marxist podcast.
The only burden I’ve ever placed on you is to be self-consistent and not use homophobic insults.
And I don’t need your support for China. You are largely indistinguishable from other liberals that think they are anarchist for some unclear reason, having done no work to shed the liberal propaganda against the US state’s designated enemies. And now that you are over here having clearly done no reflection or self-criticism regarding your misconceptions and bad faith behavior, why do you think anyone should spend time trying to educate you?
If you don’t need my support why are you badgering me here??? I never asked to be “educated” if that’s what you call your sleuth of abusr. Leave me alone, you’re blocked.
I am correcting your false claims and am getting amused by the fact that you abandoned any pretense of reading or responding to explanations in the previous thread, even making excuses for not having the time to do so, even though now that you clearly do have time you are using it to instead double down on your misconceptions while still lashing out at “the tankies” (me).
You lobbed insults and denigration and now plead victimhood when receiving mild criticism of your claims and behavior.
lol you’re still at this after abandoning this thread? The one where you jumped in, whinged about “tankies”, and then ignored nearly everything that I said to you while apologizing for not having the time to respond?
Why are you now here and still whinging rather than back at that thread actually engaging? Why are you doubling down on this nonsense when you couldn’t defend it directly against your targets of insult?
Remember when you resorted to the homophobic remarks I predicted?
The thing I hate about tankies is the same thing I hate about fascists, every other living thing on earth shares a common ancestor with them. I propose we exile them from the evolutionary tree, return them to the dirt they truly are so that they may be of some use to all living creatures.
But I am an anti fascist, just cause im a bloodthirsty bastard who thinks murder is a borderline panacea doesnt mean I am fascist. Fascism has some very notable ideological elements that do not apply to me. Also when I say want to kill someone unless they are in a position of power I want to beat them physically first so that I may break their beliefs, after all if they stop believing then they arent a fascist now are they.
Just cause you associate bloodthirst and antisocial tendencies with fascists doesnt make it an applicable element to me. Plus I loath authority too much to be an authoritarian, it is traditional amongst my kin to reject even our elders authority.

If somebody so desperately wants me to support the second most powerful empire in the world the burden of proof is on them, not on me.
The burden of proof is on the person making claims. The people in that thread nevertheless gave you plenty of proof countering your claims.
My claim was that tankies exist. Which you’re proving true once again.
Go watch CGTN, aka the only “proof” supplied.
I provided much more than CGTN, and that was with respect to legal structures alone. Everyone else provided plenty of evidence as well. You provided very little and doubled down on anti-China myths.
Won’t somebody think of the poor nation state empire? :(
See, you’re doing it again. No matter how many times people explain that the PRC isn’t an empire, you double down with bulletproof logic like “the more populous the country, the more evil it is.” You hide behind the phrase “tankies exist,” then build up a strawman of a tankie, then start calling others that don’t fit that strawman a tankie anyways when they debunk one of your myths.

imagine saying shit like " I propose we exile them from the evolutionary tree" and thinking you’re anti-fascist

gee, i’m peeing my pants over here
i called you a fascist because of your borderline eugenicist way of framing it, but you’re also a psychopath too apparently so that’s fun
I was making a darwin award joke, basically just a way of saying I want to commit homicide. Also not psychopathy just a nasty mix of Autism and PTSD.
Least genocidal liberal
Tankies essentially have more in common with other fascists than they do other leftists.
I once joined a stalinist discord. 3 weeks later it was a community of trans-Hitlerites who required an ID to join.
Is it 100% accurate to write communism off as fascism hiding under leftist wool? No, not 100% accurate, but it sure saves a hell of a lot of time.
