Someone post this on hexbear and send me a screenshot.
I’d do it myself but I value my sanity
I would, but I got banned for daring to disagree with their narratives. Apparently brigading other instances and users is fine, but you have the audacity to go there and debate their lunacy, and it’s ban time.
I had to block their Instance. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.
They deny wholehearted they don’t brigade they’ll call you a liar and say that’s never happened
Lemmy is a pretty bad pace to be then, same thing happens here
You could also just post on !memes@lemmy.ml, hexbear likes to hang out on there.
Lemmy.ml has its own tankie groups, btw. Hexbear is just one of a few focal points.
To each their own. However, it’s convenient to know when you are getting close to some type of military demarcation line. (Stray bullets can still fly across demilitarized zones, or, you start to see pro-communist graffiti a little more often, is what I am saying.)
Congratulations, the .ml admins deleted it. Did they ban you too?
Not so rare lemmy.ml L
I’ll have to wait and see, I haven’t got a message quite yet, but I entertain myself with an appeal.
Add Tibet, Xianchang, Manchuria, as separate countries and switch Inner Mongolia to being part of Mongolia and now we’re getting somewhere.
Taiwan didn’t even recognize Mongolia’s independence until 2002. Good luck getting the KMT to accept Tibet’s or Uyghurstan’s independence.
Next thing you know, Western Taiwan decides it’s time to make North Korea their brand new province, because “historic grounds” or something
My personal bet is they’ll go for Outer Manchuria. They still see the treaty of Aigun as an unequal treaty and as things stand the international community wouldn’t even bother writing a strongly worded letter if they decided to rectify it.
i mean considering taiwan’s position surely they’d be more than happy to get the mainland in return for letting some remote areas be independent?
IDK about Xinjiang but China’s current state of water security basically means no government of China will accept Tibetan independence without basically getting puppet state control over them.
Why Manchuria?
White bread of Chinese balkanization right here
The meat and potatoes of Chinese imperialism.
Q: How do you determine who is cheating in the online game you’re playing?
A: Declare that Taiwan is best China. All the cheaters will start screaming.
kinda weird to say all Chinese citizens are cheaters. and by weird I mean OVERTLY RACIST.
fuck the CCP but all 1.4 billion Chinese people are my homies. I aint gonna sit and listen to some little shit on lemmy call my homies cheaters
Their culture literally encourages it. Is it racist to say things that are fucking true?
How does it do that? Could you explain?
能骗就骗
“If you can cheat, then cheat.”
From education to business, cheating is seen as fair play by a huge majority of people. And things like their stupid ass social credit system don’t help things, when getting ahead can literally be the difference between life and death.
That’s just how the economy works in literally every country ever, sounds to me like the Chinese are just honest about it
is it racist to imply that it is only the chineese who cheat at online games?
who knows
It’s somewhat racist, but it’s also got some truth to it. Anywhere internet cafés are a thing cheating tends to be more popular. They’re usually not using their own account, so there is no risk to cheating. Internet cafés are prevalent in China and Russia, so there’s a stereotype of them being cheaters. That’s not to say they all do it, but it’s more likely than most other places.
Obviously, the Russians do too
It’s just blatant racism, why is it being upvoted
Is that a thing, Chinese people being known for cheating in online games?
Yes. China has a huge hacking problem. Anytime there is a ban wave of hackers in just about any competitive online multiplayer game that Chinese players have access to, the vast majority of the IPs banned are Chinese. The gaming cafes over there even advertise hacks.
It has to do with their culture. Chinese culture is very cutthroat and survival of the fittest. It makes people have the mindset of doing anything they can to win or be successful, even if it means cheating. It’s not just video games. They have a huge problem with it in their education system, as well. It’s also why there is so many cheap copies and counterfeits of different products made in China.
“Chinese people” aren’t known for being cheaters in games, except maybe by xenophobic anglophones. However, there are businesses in China that make a living through selling digital gaming items acquired through illegitimate means. Similar to how there are a lot of scam companies based in India - but that doesn’t mean “Indian people are cheaters”. People in India hate scammers too, and gamers in China hate game scammers.
indeed there is only one china
How to piss off the PRC with one pic.
Did you mean PRWT?
I think it’s just RoC by then
Why people in the west care about this territorial conflict.
It is clearly a strategic conflict for USA and allies to keep China at distance and reduce their ability to move further.
But for people to keep talking about it like it is a ( good vs evil ) feels like propganda by USA military or something.
If we imagine a world where china without Nuclear weapons, so Nato can stop them anytime, I dont think the USA media will care about them.

China are kinda dicks.
Now that’s an understatement
Because a global power engaging in aggressive colonialism is bad - even when it’s not the US doing it.
56 China’s
You think the USSR, DPRK, and so on are any different? What definition of communism are you using, my dude?
I’d we’d like to talk about genocides in countries that don’t say they’re communist? There’s the Holocaust, ^Armenia, ^^Rwanda, ^^^Bangladesh, ^^^^Romania, ^^^^^Greece, ^^^^^^Assyria, ^^^^^^^Serbia/Croatia, ^^^^^^^^Chechnya
oh so you think im a tankie huh? i meant 56 DEMOCRATIC China’s (not including Tibet, east Turkestan, inner Mongolia, and a Manchu state)
Why shouldn’t we care about the land and people they said they’d take by force if need be? Really?
It’s pretty clear that having a strategic partner in that part of the world is a net positive for western counties. Also Taiwan supplies a huge fraction of our computer chips.
That they managed to utterly dominate the chipmaking market and use that as a leverage to make allies was a real master move. The pandemic and the whole supply chain troubles giving a wake up call that “all eggs in one basket” is bad sure got them worried, tho.
Because Taiwan makes most of the computer chips we use, and the US definitely has a vested interest in China not obtaining that knowledge.
I mean, doesnt that kinda play into the PRC’s narrative that Taiwan and China are the same country?
Yes they are.
And Taiwan is the rightful heir of China!
Why are you including Tibet in that?
Nah, Taiwan only avoids forsaking these claims because doing so would be interpreted as a formal declaration of independence, prompting an invasion.
Shouldn’t the one at the top be East Ukraine on the same basis?
Taiwan (or The Republic of China) is a special case in that it doesn’t want independence from the PRC*, but rather they claim that all of China is part of the ROC and is illegally occupied by the PRC. The PRC, likewise, views Taiwan as a rebellious little part of their own country.
*I learned just now that there’s a political movement that eschews this view and instead just wants sovereignty for the land currently owned by Taiwan.
Anyway, as far as I know, Ukraine doesn’t make any similar claims to Russia (except for certain contested areas).
As a pro-Ukranian Russian: fuck you. If Ukraine will try to conquer a single square inch of Russian land I’ll volunteer to be in factory making tanks, despite being a trans girl
Do you think Crimea is Russian land?

Now do West Palestine
I pay 1 upvote if someone made that image a reality
Ok but this is literally true, broth the PRC and the ROC claim to be the real china
“real china”
I’m so sick of this"West Taiwan" crap. It plays into the PRC narrative that China and Taiwan are inseparable. Most Taiwanese just want to live their lives without needing to worry about China invading. The official ROC territorial claims remain in part due to the 2005 Anti-Secession law of the PRC. The law provides a legal mandate to invade if Taiwan were to declare formal independence. In general the only people in Taiwan who want to govern China are older nationalists.
but also remove all the borders
Couldn’t help but notice Honk Kong (UK) sticking out like a sore thumb. Anyways f*** imperialism/colonialism!
lmao
