Translation:

My personal opinion, for those who are interested, is that these two instances (Hexbear and Lemmygrad) are filled with what we call here nazbols, tankies, or even left-wing fascists.

They are primarily authoritarians who like to call themselves leftist, but use the same tools, have the same political vision, the same organization, and politically and historically tend to ally with “official” fascists as soon as a truly revolutionary leftist movement emerges.

I found it tolerable to “do nothing” as long as they stayed in their corners, but I had somewhat forgotten that an authoritarian remains an authoritarian and that the only place they deserve is down a well, not forgetting to strike the hands that try to escape with a big stick.

    Shock horror:

    I’m sure approval rates in one case or the other won’t suffer from any kind of bias. I’d trust equally the measure of the approval rate taken by Israel in Palestine that I’ll trust the one taken by the PRC in Xinjiang.

    I’d be glad to get the numbers though, especially if it’s coming from a source that can be trusted and take into account the difference between settler votes and “native” population.

      Do these weirdos ever try to account for the vast amount of media coming out of Palestine, a tiny concentration camp, compared to the total lack of any media showing genocide in Xinjiang, a fucking enormous largely mountainous and desert province?

        But China is authoritarian and Israel is—

        no I don’t think they stop to think.

        No need to bother when someone else has already done the thinking for you.
