MODERATORS
Is it a good alternative?
Absolutely, especially given that a lot of it is based on open source technology such as RISCV. Similarly, China is releasing open models like DeepSeek while US companies are pursuing closed service approach.
Ah yes, let's just ignore the authoritarianism and fascism because it's open source :3
Edit: /s
Authoritarianism isn't a fucking thing. And China isn't fascist in any meaningful sense of the word. Why the fuck are you carrying water for the American Empire and siding against the country that every imperialist is currently salivating over destroying?
Pont exactly where I "carried water for the American Empire"
"let's just ignore the authoritarianism and fascism because it's open source :3"
How is this not making the empires argument for them?
Your parroting of imperialist talking points and language.
So in order to not be carrying water for the U.S. I need to disagree with literally everything they say?
I'm not parroting. All words and opinions are mine.
You are a product of very effective propaganda, so effective you think you came up with those ideas on your own.
When you're in hexbear you better come heavy with materialist analysis and citations or dont come at all.
Your earlier mention about bias indicators should have come with a link at the very least.
They are not yours, they have been given to you. They were presented to you, already made, and you accepted them.
point your fucking hog, nerd
7h later, no nerd hog :(
The US is fascist. China actually has a democracy.
At no point did I praise the U.S. why are y'all thinking I did.
What do you know about the government of the PRC? Have you read about whole process people's democracy? I'm sure you've investigated it thouroghly since you're making definitive statements about it. Could you please be specific about why you don't view the system in China as a democracy.
No real freedom of speech.
I could throw this same bad argument back at you about the United States.
Freedom of speech isn't a real thing lmao.
The US kidnaps people and imprisons them in cruel conditions if they have soccer tattoos.
The FBI sent letters to MLK Jr. telling him to end his own life.
The US stole indigenous land by writing deals they would break.
China did what? Give free education? Crush a cult (Falun Gong) lift 800 million people out of poverty as defined by the World Bank
China (bad) stole the Lamas' serfs!
Freedom of speech does not exist anywhere and is an idealist myth constructed for the purpose of western imperialist chauvinism. This is why it is easy for people here to clock your liberalism.
Lol I am a leftist.
You are a knee-jerk chauvinist that makes things up and parrots the false anti-left language of imperialists (capitalists), regardless of how you self-label.
Do some self-reflection. You know so little, you should be asking questions, not picking fights.
I know you’ve blocked us so you won’t see this, but on the off chance you do, thank you for giving me the good laugh I needed today.
So you oppose capitalism?
You're an idiot wrecker that goes by whatever the CIA told you to believe about actual attempts at building socialism. At least these guys are getting paid, you're just running the script on autopilot for free. Liberal scum
In what way do people in China not have freedom of speech?
???
Have you been living under a rock?
No i haven't. I've read about China and listened to people living in China.
What can't you say in China that leads you to say there's no free speech?
It's pretty frustrating when people expect you to explicitly state your grievances against an entity that our government has taught you to fear and hate in general huh
Oh so you don't know either?
I actually have been, can you please help me by explaining your position on this and maybe providing some small amount of evidence to back it up?
Answer the question
I'm gonna go yell "Fire" in a crowded theatre and see what happens
Alright I'm blocking hexbear. Y'all can't make a solid argument to save your lives.
That's not freedom of speech. Nither is CP.
Your argument style:
Have you been living under a rock?
Total hypocrite
I just wanted to know what his definition of "freedom of speech" is lmao.
"No Investigation, every right to speak."
That's how it goes, right?
lmao what a coward.
PS the standard you are using for free speech is literally the capitalist imperialist US supreme court. You know, the one that has consistently validated slavery, genocide, mass disposession, and of course, crackdowns on left speech.
Why is it that you, a "leftist", constantly appeals to imperialist liberal thought?
You're scared of the free speech we have here?
I thought we were talking about China and not the US kiddo.
Since when is China fascist in any sense of the word?
Maybe if we're referring to white terror-era Republic Of China.
Better than having FAANG+ dominate the human species.
I thought competition was a good thing?
Honestly agreed.
But that's not what the alternative is. That's not what's happening in the U.S, at least currently.
Also agreed only within what China currently is. Not what it could become.
China already sells surveillance equipment to willing buyers in the EU and Asia. Pakistan's Chinese weaponry has already shown itself.
Governments already seek China's level of authority, it's the only way forward.
