I honestly find it hard to believe that there is any degree of democracy in a country where the government regularly silences words on its social media. The local officials (the mayor, legislators, and the president) where I live are all elected and I'm pretty sure that's already more than what China has. Their high approval rate is due to the fact that people don't know that their government can be better.

None of the sources conclusively prove that there is genocide, and neither are there sources disproving it completely. That of course means that no one knows for sure if the claim is true (except the Chinese government). Feel free to believe that it is false, but I am going to believe that there really is such a thing going on.

You have refused to engage with them.

I have refused to engage with them? That's a ridiculous claim.

it's you refusing to engage in good-faith discussion.

You sound hypocritical. You are not even in good-faith discussion.

No? Xi does not even claim himself to be democratically elected by the citizens.

I don't know whether you read my parent comments or not, but I am not a nazi apologist.

I love how you guys are intentionally ignorant of the mainstream opinion about Hexbear. You look at the servers you got defederated from, talk shit about them, and pretend that you have not lost anything of value. This is the ultimate sour grapes mentality.

TBH you look more like a troll that I do

From what I see the entirety of Hexbears are "debatebros." They also hold one unified opinion. I have also tried to engage in good faith discussion but some Hexbears kept spamming self-important emojis that made me felt like my good faith wasn't being seen. Then I kinda became like the average Hexbear for commenting out of bad faith. I apologize for that.

You are not in good faith discourse either. You people are also condescending.

Apparently both the WaPo and I do.

I don't think the people of North Korea have any say in who gets to be the president/chairman/general secretary.
