Obviously it is a counterfactual but no serious leftist would say that China without market reforms wouldn't have eradicated poverty, and moreover done it faster and more completely. The seeds of poverty alleviation were planted during the Maoist era; improvement in health, education improvement, and industrialization.

This but unironically. In general though, there is nothing more galling than liberals complaining about Russia. You made it this way. This is on you. First you destroy the soviet union, then you reconfigure the politics and economy of Russia, and then you have the audacity to complain about the very thing you caused.
Why are people losing their minds over this? He is just making block work the same way it does on this website and other social media. Should Hexbear make it so if you block a user then it deletes any comments they made replying to your comments? Surely, it should just hide it for you, but leave it for others to see. Moderators should be responsible for banning and deleting comments, not individual users. Maybe there is just something I don't understand.
This is so fucking stupid, there is a mountain of evidence for the Holocaust and all the deniers have their arguments thoroughly refuted. Why not use the same tactic as the historians who document the Holocaust and refute the deniers, or is that impossible because the evidence does not exist in this case.
When you are so deeply propagandized that seeing any different viewpoint causes you to cry for help.
The United States are the GOATs of state sponsored and planned doping at the Olympics. Many of the involved doctors have talked about it in the decades since the '84 Olympics.
This is such an insane thing to say, I feel like you can't possibly understand what those words mean.
I would be so embarrassed to type out that message and then choose to send it.
Nah, that is liberalism. https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2023/08/02/china-consumption-or-investment/
A lot of you are to the right of the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/07/british-sovereignty-falklands-absurd-imperial-hangover-argentina
In 2012 it was estimated that British taxpayers paid more than £20,000 per islander for defence alone, and approximately one-third of the population worked for the government.
Surely this is an independent population that exists for reasons other than to be a military foothold in South America.
IMO, it should just become a separate country, or at the very least demilitarized. And no, the Argentine government of today isn't the same as back then. They aren't just going to invade because the British fuck off.
I guarantee that you would be cooking up these conspiracy theories regardless of any investigations that China had allowed. They could have shipped every citizen of Wuhan straight to your house so you could personally interview them and it still wouldn't be enough.
