I feel like the artist intended this to be racist but it's too advanced for me

I think the picture maybe fails to be racist. It does however succeed very well at communicating that it was for sure drawn by a racist.

I'm pretty sure this was drawn by a Chinese lib

Hamas, famously spending money on high-tech bombing campaigns. Israel just watches silently as masses of drones and high-tech missiles get imported into the open-air prison.

Every time they try to make something like this, they just end up making us look extremely cool xi-lib-tears

Has China even acknowledged the war? Lmao

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Either they have, which proves they're behind it. Or they haven't, which means they're being sneaky evil foreigners and that proves they're double-plus behind it.

They offered to send mediators to help do hostage negotiations and were roundly rejected

China loves to roll up to the consequences of the West’s proxy states and say “hey guys, have you heard of multilateral cooperation and win-win partnerships?”

Wasn't the last time the US won a war that time they popped in on the last 5 minutes of the Soviets winning a war?

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

By the same metric every war in the world is China's problem because they manufacture most of the shit required to live on this blasted planet (and indeed, do bad stuff with). I just read an article about how the Ukrainian military just can't have enough of Xi's murder drones. Do they know they're actually supporting Hamas? Should someone tell them? Anyway, US bombs blowing up yemeni school buses is not the US's fault sweaty, learn some realpolitik.

I wish China was this based. They’re too busy condemning genocide instead of aiding resistance. But no export revolution blah blah blah

This isn't even accurate. Israel is a major trading partner of China, and if both-sidesing it stops working for whatever reason, China would side with Israel

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

China is Israel's top trading partner but Israel is waaaaaaaay down the list of China's trading partners, somewhere in the high 20s

I doubt that, because Israel's economy relies on Chinese trade far more than the other way around and siding with Israel in a situation where "both sides" is no longer an option would likely destroy their political relationships with a huge portion of the third world.

The only situation I can think of where "both sides" is no longer an option would be a world war. Siding with Israel would mean siding with Amerikkka, and that option is clearly not possible for China and would be a terrible, self-destructive move even if it was.

i wish i had a powerful enough head of hair to be the dude in the gold chain with the nice set of boobs tatt'd on his bicep.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

bald guys look great with a gold chain! it's a classic look!

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

lol

a prestige look: shirtless belly over belted slacks. it lets the others know my torso is already at the party, but my hips take care of business.
