Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

Edit: there’s also this thread: https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693

    I blocked the instance a long while ago. Not because of divergent views, but because I didn’t find myself stimulated by their overall culture and communication style. Other than that, live and let live, glad they have a spot to discuss what they want.

      Eh.

      I’d agree with “Live and let live” if they didn’t also obviously all come and harass me here, and have a modicum of good faith in my arguments.

        The key is to get yourself instance banned from there, and I believe they will no longer see your posts or comments on other instances.

                    Among communists, a popular saying is “no investigation, no right to speak.” If you have only surface-level knowledge of a subject, then anything you contribute to broader conversation on said subject just contributes to the miasma of misinfirmation and miscommunication. Personally restricting yourself from speaking authoritatively on subjects you don’t really know or understand greatly enhances the types of conversations you can have, and deepens understanding.

                    I personally apply this principle as best I can to myself, and I suggest you do the same. Here’s a good resource compilation for studying Xinjiang and the situation the Uyghur people are actually in in China, including the background leading up to the correction programs, the allegations of genocide from the west, as well as the only evidence coming from one person named Adrian Zenz, a christian nationalist that hasn’t been to China and believes it is his duty from God to punish China. This Adrian Zenz is a member of the US-propaganda outlet “Victims of Communism.”

                    Overall, I hope this helps a bit.

                    Look I know I was trying to build up to a gotcha but this is all you. Nobody forced you to admit you don’t even know where Uyghers live. You made yourself look stupider than I ever could. I was just going to post a 40 minute travel vlog of the region showing off all its Uygher people and culture, but you proudly announced your complete ignorance.

                    You have no idea the level of self own this is. Cause if you did you wouldn’t have said something so mind bendingly ignorant in the first place. You have absolutely shown your own ass entirely. You don’t even know the name of the province where the supposed human rights violations you were gonna try to own us with supposedly is tsking place in. You don’t even understand the details of the bullshit you’ve been fed. You should absolutely dismiss any illusion whatsoever that you are capable of independent thought because its the only way you’ll improve. This is the kind of absolute confidence combined with absolute ignorance seen far too often. You have no fucking clue what youre talking about. Wanna learn a bit about China, I’ll start with a real short bit of reading from Mao ‘No investigation, no right to speak.’. As in shut the fuck up dipshit. Your opinion means nothing cause you know nothing. We are laughing at your dumb ass back on hexbear still. Cause you’re that much of an ignorant little worm. This should make you feel ashamed enough to crack some books. But we know it won’t. You’ll never learn and you’ll never change. You’ll keep being an ignorant little worm until the world comes crashing down around you because that’s safe. And you’re a coward who needs to feel safe. Either do better or curl up into a hole and stay quiet you filthy ignorant piece of shit.
