Wait, what car does Xi have his servants drive him around in? I'll get you one of those, nothing but the best for great Marxians like Xi and yourself.

How do you feel about its social credit system? Or how it's put a million plus muslims into concentration camps? Or how it's funding some of the largest mosques in the world in other places at the same time? Or how marxists within china heavily critique china's politics? Or its colonisation of Africa? All of which are easily available for reading about in f/China.

You didn't show them they were wrong lol you simply showed us you have very low reading comprehension skills.

Edit: No offence intended to those with legitimate issues pertaining to comprehension. If you were offended while reading this I am sorry.

This is borderline ableist, make fun of the ideology not the person (I know, I've skirted this lately with them too and it's a reminder to myself more than you).

I suppose i can see that. Any suggestions as to how I may rephrase my comment to make it less ableist while still communicating the message would be appreciated. Also, my apologies to anyone I may have offended.

the other thing to keep in mind is english is not everyone's first language and even if one is fluent in another language, there are things that can be hard to clearly understand. assuming everyone speaks english as their first language is a bad assumption. to add a little more to this.

JayGrym wrote

I actually didn't assume English was their primary language, I merely assumed they read the articles they linked lol

I didn't mean to imply you did, ugh, I really am fucking up trying to explain things lately, but it was to go along with how all of us talk to and treat others...

hasbrochem OP wrote

I wouldn't worry about and it's when people repeatedly do things after being asked not to that it's a problem.

without looking specifically at what they shared/followed up with, just pick an obvious contradiction and mock the ever living hell out of it. :D as one example

I like to correct my mistakes when possible so that's why I added the edit. I didn't employ that tactic due to others already doing that to no avail. My only hope is that they go back and read the articles they themselves linked.

I mean they're an ideologue, not going to change their mind, so just have fun interacting with them. tankies, as someone else already said, are great walking memes

First line is -- The system doesn’t actually exist...

JayGrym wrote

So half of the first line of every article represents the entire substance of the article? That's called a hook or a click-bait lol it does nothing but grabs attention to hopefully make you want to read the article. Apparently the writer failed in this endeavor here lol

I would prefer if you were a troll than someone this lost to ideology.

Don't visit, live there so you can experience Communism capitalism with Chinese characteristics in all its glory. Make sure to visit the poorer western regions too so you can see just how maoism had benefited them

Also, don't forget to talk with folks who grew up during the cultural revolution. Ask them how much they enjoyed it and how it was much better before 1978 when China decided to become capitalist, with Chinese characteristics. Yes, such good times when they didn't know if they would have food to eat or even if everyone in their family would be able to come home for dinner.

Not that much has really changed for those in central and western China.

So if I buy you something expensive like a BMW made by Communists in Shanghai, that will work?! Sweet!!! I'll get right on it
