      No I think slurs are awful, but its just laughably easy to annoy a lot of tankies by pointing out fairly well-evidenced, uncontroversial facts, so its a bit of a hobby of mine.

      Speaking of which, here’s another well-evidenced, uncontroversial fact:

      The Pooh Bear meme originated in China, amongst Chinese netizens, criticizing Xi.

      Oh, shit, fuck, I guess that makes me uh, a cultural appropriator, yeah, fuck, damn, I’m such a bad loser person, that attack angle will work!

        But racist caricatures are just fine and dandy for you. So you’re not just a racist, you’re a hypocrite who likes to pretend you’re not racist. Good to know.

        but its just laughably easy to annoy a lot of tankies by pointing out fairly well-evidenced, uncontroversial facts,

        What annoys “tankies” is typical white western chauvinist losers who mistake the western “culture” they’ve been brought up in and force-fed propaganda as “uncontroversial facts” that just happen to parrot US state department talking points. Yes, it gets very annoying to have to counter the same cringe bullshit that liberals who fancy themselves as radical say over and over, after being absolutely refuted over and over. You can only explain the basics to a smug 5-year-old so many times before it starts to wear on a person no matter how patient they are. Also, you should know that the people you’re calling “tankies” aren’t just ML’s but also anarchists who have taken the time to educate themselves (rather than “anarchists” who just adopt the term while still adhering to liberalism and carrying water for the systems of oppression they say they’re opposed to).

        so its a bit of a hobby of mine.

        Jesus, it never ceases to amaze me when some fool literally announces how cringe they are yet think they’re being clever or cool for making the announcement.

        The Pooh Bear meme originated in China, amongst Chinese netizens, criticizing Xi.

        A racist meme appeared in an evil and authoritarian country that doesn’t tolerate the spread of open racism (so evil and authoritarian!) so they removed and blocked that meme on their web. This meme and the rumors about it being blocked were then picked up by racists in the freedomland country where racism reigns supreme (because people are so free there) and twisted into an absurd lie about a cartoon character being banned in the evil country (which never happened), and used as propaganda (based on a lie) to reinforce the common knowledge that everybody knows: the mean authoritarian country that addresses racism is so evil and authoritarian it bans cartoon characters! So now all the good freedom-enjoyers in freedomland like yourself get to use that racist meme and the lie it’s tied to to make oh so very cogent points about freedom and how bad it is to be authoritarian. You really owned the tankies here, wowzers!

        And corruption obviously also exists in China, the CCP is basically constantly crusading against it.

        Wow, it must suck to live in an evil authoritarian country that actively works to stamp out corruption instead of endlessly rewarding it like in freedomland USA.
