It’s pointless debating with hexbear trolls. And it’s equally bad to stick your head in the sand and just deny that China is a highly authoritarian state. Tankies will never allow anyone to criticise their “best model for society” unchallenged, even when it’s entirely justified. Why is it aok for them to criticise everything Western countries do in rabid terms but the minute China or Russia does something shitty, it’s suddenly racist? Because hexbear, that’s why. It’s their whole MO. Dogpile the comments, get everyone worked up, and they’ve had their fun and will move on. It’s classic tankie authoritarianism, hiding behind virtue signalling. If you can’t see they are just “dunking on the libs” as per usual, I don’t know what to say to you.

Wow 4 hexbear upvotes and one from .ml, you guys are so busy with apologising for Chinese and Russian authoritarianism lately, I don’t know how you get anything else done. It’s not racist to point out that shit like this isn’t ok. You can pretend it’s not happening all you like, nobody is fooled.
