Another day I’m glad we don’t have downvotes. Hexbear stays winning
Noooo China bad if you didn’t know!
I’m almost the opposite side of the political compass from current Chinese regime but even I must admit Sinophobia is out of control. It is totally cool to altogether dismiss and undermine any of their achievements and reduce 1/6 of humanity down to a single facet, all because popular Western propaganda says so.
Wasn’t it like… they lifted that many out of “extreme poverty” which they classify as anything less than $2.30/day?
I mean, cool, cool. But also, you’re not in poverty in China if you make $3/day, huh?
The Poverty Elimination Campaign required all citizens to have adequate food, clothing, shelter, water, electricity, and ability to access education. So, no, it wasn’t just that. They built many homes for people, provided them subsidized food supplies, power stations to provide power to extremely rural areas, and more.
Ahh behold, .Ml moderation at its finest
You know where the modlog is if you like dogshit takes from imperial core liberals.
I do, you’re the one removing most of the comments. It’s amusing.
I’m amused that you think saying you’re amused is going to matter to me somehow.
You’re just demonstrating my point by removing comments for discussions you’re actively participating in. Big L.
😂
Are you actually modding conversations you are directly involved in? When I have done modding, that would usually be discouraged as a conflict of interest.
Sure is, and he does it frequently. disagreeing with the political alignment is a ban worthy offense in .ml Lemmy instances.
It’s ok as long as it’s our authoritarianism
