I was using Etehnity, but I had some issues with it and recently started using Raccoon instead, which has been pretty good.

FOSS is political. Sure, there are right wingers in FOSS projects, but the nature of it is leftist.

Coward

Is a slave that kills their slaver in the wrong just because they used violence? Obviously not, they are justified, your reasoning is just dumb.

Least delusional ancap lmao

Real rich coming from an ancap. Anti-communism is fascism. You’re simply on the picture and you don’t link it.

Really telling how you feel the need to be anti-Communist on an antifascist meme. Specially when it was the “tankies” that destroyed fascism on WW2. But not surprising coming from a naz.ijust.works user

EDIT: I just realized feddit blocks both Lemmygrad and Hexbear, so this user cannot see my comment. If anyone wants to use/copy my comment or link directly to it, feel free to do so, I believe I provided enough evidence to debunk most of this user’s sourceless claims. It’s a shame some instances just block us and shows who they truly are.

E: any of you downvoters, feel free to correct me, I’d love to be wrong.

You throw a bunch of claims with zero source and wants to be taken seriously. At least give us the bare minimum before just spewing this much US State Department propaganda.

That being said, I will address some of your points, since someone else might stumble upon this and need an actual answer.

They don’t have CCP officials required by law to work at tech companies and disclose any and all data they acquire?

Keeping a close look on the companies on their country and keeping them on a short leash is good actually. China is not a capitalist hellhole like the US or most of the world, it is a socialist state where the rich does not control the government. Keeping them in check is the right thing to do given their current development level of socialism.

They’re not using Uyghur slaves in their factories?

That’s a new one, so far I have only heard about how they are being genocided. Which you can debunk with a little bit of research: Arab League’s visit to Xinjiang rejects Western accusations of ethnic genocide, religious persecution.

They’re not trying to literally erase Taiwan off the maps?

LMAO, no. Taiwan is part of China, why would China want to erase part of itself off the map? Even the US agrees. The only thing China wants is proper reunification with Taiwan.

They’re not still censoring information about their horrific pasts?

What “horrific past”? Be specific, this vague stance achieves nothing. If you’re talking about Tiananmen Square, here’s a good video about that: The Tiananmen Square “Massacre” Never Happened.

They’re not targeting, retaliating against and kidnapping protestors domestic and abroad?

Again, provide a damn source, I have no idea of what you’re talking about and it is something I never saw anyone claim before.

What I can do tho is bring into attention the names of a few people like Huey P. Newton being killed by the US government and Snowden having to seek asylum abroad after blowing the whistle on the US surveillance state for the world to see. And if that’s not enough, how about Pro-Palestinian protesters clash with US police on second night of DNC and New Report Details How Pro-Palestinian Protests Are Suppressed in Democratic Countries.

They’re not censoring virtually every US social website entirely from the entire country?

No they are not, Microsoft operates in China. Not only that, but they do not explicitly want to simply ban US sites on there, it’s a simple matter of national sovereignty where companies like Facebook and Google refuse to abide by Chinese law, so China simply developed all their tools in-house. Not only that, but Chinese citizens have access to VPNs and can easily access websites abroad that are not usually allowed in China.

Meanwhile the US banned Huawei and tried to ban TikTok when it became apparent they could not control it and that the people were seeing the US for what it truly is, a genocidal state funding Israel in it’s attempt to genocide the Palestinian people.

The last link I posted is a proxy on 12ft.io since The Intercept won’t allow to see the page without registering.

Incredible write up comrade. I was not aware of Einstein’s views on the Chinese and on Zionism.

I guess it depends on the country. Unfortunately here in Brasil it’s rather common to find people that believes in “cultural Marxism” and how our education system is Marxist or leftist or some shit. Which is total BS used to smear and drive people away from higher education.

Oh noes, the ebil gommunist seeseepee tankies!!!1!

How dare they stand for the truth that even the Arab League didn’t find China commiting genocide or oppressing the people of Xinjiang and disproving the now abandoned false narrative about Tiananmen Square.

No no no, your views should thoroughly align with the US state department. CHINA IS EBIL!!!

A bunch of sourceless claims.

China is repressing the Tibetans

It’s always nice seeing you shitheads on the side as the slavers. Fuck China for liberating Tibet amirite my fellow redditors?

committing genocide against the Uyghurs to create a Han ethnostate

Arab countries have send representatives to China and unmasked the false western propaganda of Uyghur genocide, please try something new, this horse has been beaten to death. Not even the west is clinging to this narrative anymore.

Dissent, especially in China, is heavily policed.

Police arrest pro-Palestinian protesters outside of New York Stock Exchange.

They took our dystopian monetary credit system and cranked it up to 11 with social credit

China’s Orwellian Social Credit Isn’t Real.

The fact that you and I are allowed to post about America’s past transgressions and speak highly critically of the government (and believe it or not, I do that quite a lot) is proof that we as a global superpower are freer than them

MLK and Huey P. Newton. Also the police arresting pro-Palestinian protesters I already linked.

But I’ll take our flawed, bourgeois democracy over domination by than the outright fascist rule by our competitors.

The US is the one supporting fascists worldwide. Just look at the history of US interventions. Here’s three examples in Latin America alone: Fulgencio Batista, US backed military coup in Chile that put Pinochet in power and the US backed military coup in Brasil in 1964.

But above all that I prefer peace and freedom.

As evidenced above, no you do not.

Bazzite is great. I was using Nobara before it, and Solus before that and Bazzite has been the best experience I ever had on Linux, I don’t plan on changing distros as long as it remains a thing.

There’s actually a Cuban indie game on Steam. It’s called Saviorless. Haven’t played it, but I heard it’s good.

I think the flaw is human nature. All governments and organizations are corrupt. All implementations are always twisted to suit the greed of individuals.

Please take your nickname seriously for a moment and do some critical thinking about what you just said.

“Human nature” being greedy and corrupt is a completely horrible and wrong argument that only serves to keep us desillusioned about change. Saying that human nature is greedy and corrupt while currently living in a capitalism system is the same as studying human nature inside a coal mine and coming to the conclusion that it must be human nature to cough your lungs out. Our environment have a deep influence on us and you can’t just ignore that.

If you really want to argue about human nature, the simple fact that we are social creatures that often help each other out of empathy and compassion already negates your argument.

It’s entirely possible to create policy and enforcement mechanisms that would mitigate or eliminate excessive greed but nobody with anything votes for it because they’ll lose out on their own personal greed by their measure.

Voting will not change the system, you cannot change it from within. The capitalist class might give us a few breadcrumbs here and there to keep us from revolting, but they will always do everything to keep the system as it is because it benefits them as a class.

This is not an individual issue. As much as some individuals are horrible pieces of shit, these interests are collective and shows the class struggle in society.

It’s not, but I’m sure that’s hard to believe when you need to hate me because I disagreed with you on a point of factual statistics.

So, when you call us tankies it’s all fine and dandy, but the moment someone responds, they are hating on you? Lol

It was the fucking people in China making the comparison! Come on. You keep ignoring this in order to just say westerners are evil.

Ignoring? I literally addressed that in my previous comment. I’m not gonna repeat myself. And I’m not saying westerners are evil. As much as I hate using these moral terms like good, bad and evil, if I were to use it it would be to say that the west is evil, not the westerners.

Clean, meaning morally, no he isn’t. Kind, not so much. He presents as if he’s a perfect story book character, like Pooh Bear (hence the comparison), but he wouldn’t still be in power if this were the case.

Yeah yeah, keep changing the meaning of words to only fit how you see it on your head. And really? He’s still in power because he presents himself as “clean and kind”? Like, really? First you say he’s a dictator, now he’s only still in power because se presents himself well. Which one is it? And that aside, do you really believe he’s only in power because he presents himself well? Like, really?

The people in China recognize this, which is why they started the comparison. It spread to the west because of the outsized response to it.

A single meme is not representative of the will of the Chinese people. By this logic I can say the USians are nazi because of how much Pepe exploded in popularity. It’s beyond silly.

It was funny how insulted he was by this that it started being banned, so it spread because his fragile ego couldn’t handle it.

First of all, Winnie the Pooh was never banned in China, it is still a very popular character there.

Second of all, you lack understanding of how Chinese society works. China, and some other asian countries do not simply speak ill of their leaders and representatives. It’s a cultural thing. Which is not to say that they don’t criticize them, they do, but it is completely different than the rest of the world.

And finally third, if people started representing Obama with the image of a gorilla, let’s say, from Tarzan. Wouldn’t that be racist? Wouldn’t that be censored and ban worth in most places? So stop with the double standard bullshit. Just realize you’re racist against asians and do some introspection.

For everything else you said I already have replied previously.

You’re incredibly unserious and I’m not losing my time engaging with you any further.

Prove it? Sure. It’s a system where the singular ruling party controls elections and all candidates must be approved by them. If that’s not a dictatorship then I’ve never heard of one.

A single party system is not inherently undemocratic, we communists believe in democratic centralism. The CPC is the dominant party in China, but there are multiple other parties in the country.

You can argue it provides utility or stability or something if you want, but arguing it isn’t a dictatorship shows how ignorant you are. Of course it’s exactly what I’d expect though.

No, it shows how ignorant YOU are, since you clearly don’t even understand how different political systems can be democratic. Your vision of democracy is limited and is easily dismantled by showing how in the US, for example, you have basically a two-party system that at the end of the day serves the same purpose, to continue to impose the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie upon the working class, or how you libs call it, “western democracy”. Your lack of class analysis in China’s system fails to account for how the CPC represents the proletariat instead of the bourgeoisie and how that completely changes the inner functions of said country and society.

I don’t know how the west doing anything bad is relevant to this conversation. It was never part of the discussion and is purely a red-herring to distract from your bad faith argument.

You can’t be serious, right? You can’t simply point fingers at a country with a bunch of false claims and not expect a direct comparison with how the rest of the world does stuff to dismantle the argument. The implication in this discussion is that China and the CPC is a bad evil dictatorship that oppresses people and curbs their freedom of speech. By pointing out how the west does things I’m providing a counter argument of the false claims. You can’t simply claim a bunch of stuff in a vacuum without directly comparing with how the it in the rest of the world, it’s disingenuous. Do you not understand how arguments work?

Also, once again, the Pooh Bear thing is from China. It isn’t racist. It has nothing to do with race. Prove it is, since you’re asking for proof of basic stuff we all know.

Oh stop playing dumb. You know very well that it is racist to associate a Chinese person with a yellow character. Also, it doesn’t matter where it comes from. Pepe and the Ok sign didn’t start as hate symbols, both were turned into one. If you can’t see how westerners constantly calling and depicting Xi Jinping as Pooh isn’t racist, then you’re the racist.

It’s making fun of him being fat and the way he presents himself as clean and kind.

Oh so according to you it’s not racist, it’s just fatphobic AND racist since by saying he “presents clean and kind” you’re implying he is neither of those things. Definitely not racist to imply that a Chinese person is unclean and unkind. Fuck off.

Criticizing or making fun of a nations leader is not racist. In fact, the comparison originates from China.

Then go ahead, actually criticize Xi instead of associating him with a yellow bear, which is definitely not racist, no no no, not racist at all.

You’ll just go back to your echo chamber where anything critical of dictators is bad and must come from the west. They’ll probably agree with you, despite it being incredibly easy to learn more.

LMAO, then fucking prove China is a “dictatorship”. You libs keep repeating the same “China bad”, EBIL SEESEEPEE with zero self awareness of how the west is actually looting, underdeveloping and actively destroying the rest of the world.

Not sure why you were downvoted, you are correct. You can’t even say “Winnie the Pooh”.

Censoring westerners that keep being racist is good actually.

NetEase is the developer of Marvel Rivals. They are a huge Chinese based company, they have ties to the CCP.

The CPC keeps a close eye on the companies in China. This is not a bad thing like you are framing. If you wanna point out to a real problematic case then point at Call Of Duty for being a military propaganda tool.
