The really unbelievable thing about western propaganda to me is how it portrays the central governments in all of these places as these completely omnipotent and omnipresent entities. Like my parents lived in a country which infamously had quite a powerful secret police, and even then they said that basically the only way you’d get in trouble is due to corrupt local officials or just vindictive/nosy neighbours. Rarely was anyone from the central government involved. I just rarely buy it when the story pretend it’s complete control from a centralized entity rather than some local official going too far with their little fiefdom.

Stasi State or Socialist Paradise is actually a good read focused on this

lol I saw so many posts about how “No true muslim would dance on Eid” then Carl Zha dug up a documentary from 1979 about Muslims dancing on Eid in China and without skipping a beat the same people went “Oh but they dance in a forced looking manner now so China is still forcing them”.

Xi went back in time, told Deng “hey man, I’m going to genocide the Uyghurs in 38 years, could you force them to dance to trick westerners?” And Deng was like “No problem my man!”

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
