Golden Cow

you are using whataboutism please stop commenting in bad faith to defend your dishonest nature

how is slop any different from [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] ? they all include links or pictures of users the poster deems bad

there is no proof of “swaths of hexbear users” going to brigrade the post go ahead and make a kbin/piefed account and compare upvotes and accounts if you need to

try posting “ukraine has nazis” in [email protected] or “the xinjian reducation camps have been closed for years” in [email protected] and see what happens

the [email protected] community just bans you for even having an alt on hexbear

how is what hexbear doing any different from other every other instance?

You are a shameful liar.

Doxxing is explicitly against their code of conduct: “Do not publish, comment, message, or post personally identifiable information about other users. We also strongly discourage posting any personally identifiable information about yourself.” They are the only instance that doesn’t log IP addresses in their database and scrubs meta-data from any image uploaded there.

Where are their communities dedicated to brigading? There is no actual proof of them doing anything like that, more so it is the most active instance (4.9 million comments) so anyone posting blatant lies like you will be confronted.

Hexbears troll and give personal attacks against either those that start it with them or people who are racist, homophobic, transphobic, or ableist.

For someone that is engaging in a logical fallacy of appealing to purity with regard to source, where is your source on the political structure of either country?

The substack has listed sources for the information cited, did you see that? They are historical studies and documentaries produced by third parties. I’m curious if you can even find a western-biased source that disputes the factual description of how China’s government is structured as described in the link.

What about the Edelman Trust Barometer?

Clearly the people of China trust their government and since you have yet to provide a source explaining how their government is organized we can only go with my source which clearly indicated that there is direct democracy

Since you are so knowledgeable about China and North Korea could you explain the structure of their government?

For anyone curious here are two short articles outlining the political structure:

China

North Korea

The Chinese people trust their government and are able to directly shape it’s policy and directly elect their representatives

China does have elections, and for genuine representation, no lobbying or canvassing is allowed.

Following the precepts of democratic elections, “In accordance with the principles of universal suffrage, equal rights, multiple candidates, and secret ballot”, deputies to people’s congresses at the township and county levels are elected by the Chinese people.

These representatives, the deputies closest to the public, make up 94% of the national total, and are entrusted with electing the higher-level representatives. The deputies to people’s congresses at the level of townships and counties elect deputies to people’s congresses of cities; they, in turn, elect deputies at the provincial level, who elect deputies at the national level.

From these grassroots onward, in China, it is meritocracy all the way. Decades of practical experience, usually with increasingly large populations, ensures progressively greater competence, as candidates get the top jobs that require such capacity.

Communist Party of China […] in 2020, when the draft of its 14th Five-Year Plan (from 2021 to 2025) was submitted to public consultation online for the first time. The general public was able to participate in planning its own social and economic development, making more than a million suggestions from August 16 to 29, 2020, from which over 1,000 opinions and suggestions were incorporated.

what political theorist created this? or is it just a random meme sourced from a dream?
