The guy who replied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your second screenshot seems like one of the far-right wingers. They do not, in any capacity, represent the general population.

Thankfully, OP is from an instance that has not federated with Hexbear. Hexbear users won’t be able to see this post.

I don’t really agree with all the points you listed, but I want to say thank you for not employing the Hexbear approach to defend your position. I gave you an upvote.

ps. before anyone berates me for not also listing reasons to defend myself: I’m tired of arguing online.

I don’t get why some think that the US or Ukraine started the war. They did not. Russia started it. Why would any country attack another country 28 times its size?

Heck I think Lemmygrad is more tolerable than Hexbear, by a lot.

I fail to see any reason for hating a chat app so passionately except possibly for privacy concerns, which is definitely not the case here.

update to my previous comment: I decided to not take your advice anyway

I hope I don’t sound rude but it really sounds like you only consider WaPo trustworthy when it’s convenient for you. Besides, the media in China are heavily controlled by the government. I don’t think a news outlet would survive if they dared to report such things.

Literally the second paragraph…

Sorry, I don’t understand how that makes this any less trustworthy?

Fine, I might actually take your advice. (don’t gloat)

No, absolutely not.

I agree with your sentiment, but we should refrain from using these emotionally charged words. We must remain polite so that people reading this thread will get a bad impression of Hexbear.

Ok then, advice rejected.

I apologize for saying “how good it is.” I was in a rush and couldn’t think of a better phrase.

I just read through the article from the Washington Post you linked. That really is bad and I believe that the Trump government should not have treated the (although illegal) immigrants. The grim appearance of that facility really isn’t something that the immigrants should have faced when they set foot on the US. However, compare that to the situation in Xinjiang. Here is an opinion post from the Washington Post. What China is doing to its Uyghurs is genocide. Not that it justifies anything that the US have done to its immigrants, but in comparison what the US is doing seem pretty mild.

I am not going to shut up. I am not going to shut up at anyone’s request. I also believe that their comment had a certain degree of truth to it.

far from perfect can still be good.

What does incarceration rate have to do with how good the country is? Do you really believe that the income is more equal in China? If you are going to talk about the “concentration camps” on the USA border I’m going to need photo evidence too. Here is a photo of the camp in Xinjiang:

No, this photo is not fake.

What is that plot about?

How can Americans possibly be Americans if they don’t speak American?

They did not say that they don’t know shit about the topic, not even close. They simply said their characterization is far off the marks. That means that their understanding of the conflict is far from perfect, but they absolutely do know shit about it.
