Normies can be reached and memes help. I’ve already gotten some “maybe we were too auick to judge China” reactions when I point out they execute child molesters.

    since its proclamation, the prc has fought several border conflicts with india, conducted illegal agressions against the soviet union at damanskiy island and other locations, sided with the japanese (!) on the kuril islands dispute and conducted a deeply illegal and immoral expansionist invasion of vietnam to help out the khmer rouge régime.

    it consistently gave material support to pretty much every regressive and reactionary force there was during the cold war and was a major contributing factor to the defeats the communist movement suffered during the late 80s and early 90s

      Incredibly well said, and nice to see you have a decent amount of upvotes. It’s been great to see Hexbear’s position on China develop over the last few years into a more rigorous socialist one that is more open to criticism of the PRC. I remember a time when even the most mild criticism was an absolute non-starter on here.

    China might not have bombed anyone, but they did kill 30,000 Vietnamese people for no reason. I know it’s just a meme but we have to be intellectually honest, otherwise we’re no better than the liberals. If I can send this retort, one of our enemies can too.

      You don’t need to “um, acshuully” yourself with propaganda. Otherwise you end up with a typical leftist wall of text meme that makes you look insecure about your own position.

        Yeah, but if propaganda is easily dismissed with a glib one-liner then it’s not very effective. Could’ve made a similar meme with either “countries couped by the US/China” or “countries bombed in the last 50 years”
