It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The US is way more authoritarian than China, probably the most authoritarian country in the world by any reasonable metric, so I don't see your point.
A fundamentally ridiculous assertion, the US is many orders of magnitude more evil.
Cope all you want, keep engaging in the echo chamber of self-fellating champagne socialist circles who take for granted the freedom of speech and rule of law while sitting in front computer at the comfort of one's own house in a Western country, but the link I gave showcasing many developing nations think China and US are both threats is not going to change. White Western socialists never really do think what other countries think. They're just as condescending and guilty of white man's burden mentality as imperialistic white capitalists that brown and black people in developing countries can't think for themselves. Both believe either Western-made ideologies of socialism and capitalism will save people of colour from their misery.
You're a clown, lick my nuts.
Spoken like a pampered, jobless, welfare queen living in his mother's basement.
Youve made not a single argument as to why or how China is a "greater evil" than the US, you deserve nothing but mockery in response to such a nonsensical assertion. And it's telling that you have to reach for ridiculous claims about your interlocutors who you know nothing about instead of reaching for any actual argument, which is what you would do if you had one. On some level I think you actually know the US is worse or you would have attempted to argue the point instead of making stuff up about me.
These sinophobes really can't help themselves and fall apart so easily upon even a bit of scrutiny.
Which one has concentration camps for Muslim minorities and bully their neighbours? Which one arrests and send their citizens to concentration camps for criticising their government?
Well, actually, I just realised you are a communist judging from your profile picture. Of course, you're having cognitive dissonance right now. I always take pleasure when champagne white communists are speechless after being called out for their hypocrisy, and when they find out I'm a person of colour with lived experiences under authoritarian regimes, so they can't retort with anything with slurs they normally reserve to their fellow whites. Speaking of which, I would dare you and see your true colours show.
Ah sorry, you didn't get the memo, that one doesn't play any more!
The deradicalization campaign finished and now that terrorism is over, the schools closed down.
All 10-15,000 people involved now know Mandarin and a trade.
Yes, anything that comes from state-controlled media are to be believed. It is though hundreds and thousands of Uyghurs, who have better things to do like put food on their table for their family, would collectively lie about how they're being treated. This is why many countries-- as linked in my previous comment-- did say they prefer the United States as a great power nonetheless. Chinese authoritarianism is brazen and on the face. Funny how no one mentioned what Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia think of China's presence in South China Sea, and why they conduct military exercises and host bases for European and US military. I dare any white champagne socialists and communists in here to give slurs to me what they do to fellow whites who criticise communism.
(am I in a tankie community? The subreddit name is confusing. That might explain some coping in here.)
Not China, that's just made up nonsense. The US does have concentration camps along its souther border to detain the people fleeing conditions the US created with it's ultraviolence against Latin America though, and does hold Muslim prisoners without trial in a torture camp that they illegally operate on Cuban soil, for example.
Which one has been bombing or invading some country somewhere every single day for the last 40 years and which one hasn't bombed or invaded anybody over the same time period?
Which one has the largest prison population in the world despite having far fewer people? Which one has cops kill almost 1,000 people every year? Which one has 800 military bases around the world to enforce its hegemony on other countries? Which one was founded on slavery and genocide? Which one used nuclear weapons on civilians, which one maintains a nuclear first strike policy to this day? Which one has hundreds of thousands of people sleeping in the streets?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"Welfare queen" absolute clown
Glad to hit nerve there, queen.
Welfare queens do not exist
But if they don't exist how can we sneer at the poors for their poverty while also simultaneously claiming that they're privileged and pampered as a dismissal of their criticisms?
Welfare queens are not as many as conservatives would like to portray it, but they do exists including the jobless champagne socialists in here.
I wish the phantasms in your mind really existed because bilking the US like that would be rad. Unfortunately, only the rich get that much money from the state for free.
Sounds authoritarian 2 me
