Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Xi Jinping is also a dictator.

I was gaming with friends on Discord when the topic of China passingly came up and one guy started going off about how China and Russia are both socially backward authoritarian dictatorships and how China is communist in name only, oppresses its minority groups and no true socialist should support them.

spoilerAnyway, they're also pro-NATO

This is so blatantly untrue, I've met so many PMC Bernie bros who believe this. Actually, I think more PMC Bernie bros think China is Han-supremacist than not...

The issue is they're all hardcore redditors

They got it from fascists spreading it on reddit and did absolutely no critical thinking about who was saying it because they wanted to believe it due too their anti-china brainworms. It's still fascist in origin. It's literally in the Christchurch shooter's manifesto, raising this with them makes them extremely uncomfortable.
