Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. 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

A lot of supposed sensible middle class Europeans have a weird conception about multiculturalism, where they genuinely believe that people who migrate to their countries (or come as refugees) should immediately bow down to the superiority of "European culture", and begin dressing, speaking and acting exactly like majority. I know personally that a lot of the good, decent people I grew up around abhor racism (in the sense that they dislike the overtly fascist parties, of which we have far too many) while still spouting all the same right wing talking points as the far right. They will celebrate in public when the völkish fascist party have their worst election results ever, while ignoring that pretty much every party outside of the fringe left have completely adopted their policies.
