    Dude. These people are insane and not worth your time. Just block the sub like I’m about to do and never look back. They can find comfort in their eco chamber

      Nah, you’re in the echo believing western propaganda that you’re too stupid to recognize. You probably believe in weeger genocide. Ethnic minorities, including uighurs were excluded from the one child policy. If China wanted to do genocide, why would they be exempt from draconian population control that was already in place?

              the actual result of typing up an effort post rationally debunking point after point, with citations, is that 99% of people, including the person you’re responding to, skimming it looking for a single line they can grab on to and twist it back around at you. sometimes it pays to do that but most of the time, my experience is that you convince more people if you can break the hold of liberal hegemony within their minds. and decidedly uncivil means are much more effective at doing that. many (most?) of the posters on hexbear were libs or even borderline fash who stumbled onto the old reddit sub, got thoroughly mocked for spouting bullshit, and stuck around to learn more because they couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that they were missing something.

              different rules obviously apply in offline spaces but it’s that urge to bring rules from one space into another, very different arena that’s at the heart of this issue.
