I had to block their Instance. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.

They deny wholehearted they don’t brigade they’ll call you a liar and say that’s never happened

Lemmy is a pretty bad pace to be then, same thing happens here

Lemmy.ml has its own tankie groups, btw. Hexbear is just one of a few focal points.

To each their own. However, it’s convenient to know when you are getting close to some type of military demarcation line. (Stray bullets can still fly across demilitarized zones, or, you start to see pro-communist graffiti a little more often, is what I am saying.)

Still, there is no harm in tossing some meme-loaded USB drives over the border to see what happens.

Next thing you know, Western Taiwan decides it’s time to make North Korea their brand new province, because “historic grounds” or something

i mean considering taiwan’s position surely they’d be more than happy to get the mainland in return for letting some remote areas be independent?

The meat and potatoes of Chinese imperialism.

I doubt it, there’s not much for them to gain from it but a lot to lose

According to Wendover (neat youtube channel), the “deadline” of that event is likely 2027. Whether it will happen or not is a whole different story

I thought the same, but theres been a lot of exposed strife in xi’s perfect little world and he is quickly losing all the blood in his warboner. If anything is gonna happen, im guessing it’ll happen within a year or two. Any longer and xi wont have enough economy or technology to sustain even a remotely scary military.

This is excluding nukes.

Their culture literally encourages cheating. Is it racist to say things that are fucking true?

You know what’s racist? Ignoring a whole countries culture. They have to in China because there is so much competition. If you DON’T cheat there you will never see success.

Ignoring the whole cultural issue is just ignorant.

It’s somewhat racist, but it’s also got some truth to it. Anywhere internet cafés are a thing cheating tends to be more popular. They’re usually not using their own account, so there is no risk to cheating. Internet cafés are prevalent in China and Russia, so there’s a stereotype of them being cheaters. That’s not to say they all do it, but it’s more likely than most other places.

Obviously, the Russians do too

Yes. China has a huge hacking problem. Anytime there is a ban wave of hackers in just about any competitive online multiplayer game that Chinese players have access to, the vast majority of the IPs banned are Chinese. The gaming cafes over there even advertise hacks.

It has to do with their culture. Chinese culture is very cutthroat and survival of the fittest. It makes people have the mindset of doing anything they can to win or be successful, even if it means cheating. It’s not just video games. They have a huge problem with it in their education system, as well. It’s also why there is so many cheap copies and counterfeits of different products made in China.

“Chinese people” aren’t known for being cheaters in games, except maybe by xenophobic anglophones. However, there are businesses in China that make a living through selling digital gaming items acquired through illegitimate means. Similar to how there are a lot of scam companies based in India - but that doesn’t mean “Indian people are cheaters”. People in India hate scammers too, and gamers in China hate game scammers.

I think it’s just RoC by then
