I am not going to wait for the countdown, ok?

Wow, so it appears that those blue-shirted people are just inmates of a regular prison. Oh well, I guess I don't actually have any photo of those camps.
Is denying the genocide against Uyghurs (which several Hexbears did) really that much better than defending Nazis (which I did not do)?
A Hexbear calling me out for being a troll? Calling my claims rooted on dishonest bullshit? Wow.
I did not defend Nazi apologia. I did defend Zenz on his opinions about the genocide against Uyghurs in China.
Yes, some of my comments are done with the aim of making hexbear look bad. But ultimately what's the difference? You already look bad.
It's not a 'me' problem. See [this post on !meta@lemm.ee on whether to defederate from hexbear.net](https://lemm.ee/post/4543536). There are about half of other lemm.ee users who also hate what the Hexbears are doing.
I am not deliberately starting shit. All I'm doing is engaging in discussions by leaving replies to comments I don't agree with. From my observation, this is also what many Hexbears are doing. When Hexbears do this, it's fine because they "don't have downvotes" and "have been very active for 3 years." When I do this, apparently I am "deliberately starting shit."
I am well aware of the fact that my post and comment history is public.
I did not defend the apologia by Zenz. You are deliberately misinterpreting my words. What I said was although his apologia were unacceptable, that does not invalidate his opinions on other topics. To make it extra clear, I did not defend the apologia by Zenz. I also do not condone what the Nazis did. What you said in your comment is slander and hurts my reputation. I would like to politely request that you take down the allegations.
Though Lee Teng-hui did deny the Rape of Nanking, the "war crime denier" was the first democratically elected president of Taiwan, which makes him one of the pivotal figures in the history of Taiwan. I certainly don't agree with his viewpoints on the Rape of Nanking, but I still respect him just for the fact that he brought change to the political landscape in Taiwan.
I am not "deliberately trying to start shit with hexbear." I did not defend war crime denialism. You guys are the ones defending the genocide against Uyghurs by China. You guys are defending the hostile acts of Russia. You guys are always attacking anything that is against the interests of socialist nations, regardless of how autocratic the regime is.
I also did not defend Nazi apologia. That is a very serious but untrue allegation that I would like to refute.
If you put yourself in shoes of the rest of the Lemmy users, you would find that Hexbears also sound like they are "deliberately trying to start shit."
Well I am not cool with y'all. How you treat people whose opinions you don't agree with can definitely be improved.
The KMT flag would be over China right now if they had simply not tried to murder the communists in cold blood.
I disagree. Had Chang Hsueh-liang not kidnapped Chiang Kai-shek back in 1936 demanding that he stop fighting communists and form a united front against Japanese, things probably would have been very different. I do not understand why you think that KMT would still rule the entire China if they had not fought the communists.
excerpt from Wikipedia about the Xi'an incident in 1936
On April 6, 1936, Chang met with CPC delegate Zhou Enlai to plan the end of the Chinese Civil War. KMT leader Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek at the time took a passive position against Japan and considered the communists to be a greater danger to the Republic of China than the Japanese, and his overall strategy was to annihilate the communists before focusing his efforts on the Japanese. He believed that "communism was a cancer while the Japanese represented a superficial wound." Growing nationalist anger against Japan made this position very unpopular, and led to Chang's action against Chiang, known as the Xi'an Incident.
In December 1936, Chang and General Yang Hucheng kidnapped Chiang, imprisoning him until he agreed to form a united front with the communists against the Japanese invasion. After two weeks of negotiations, Chiang agreed to unite with the communists and drive the Japanese out of China. When Chiang was released on December 26, Chang chose to return to the capital city of Nanjing with him; once they were away from Chang's loyal troops, Chiang had him placed under house arrest. From then on, he was under constant watch and lived near the Nationalist capital city, wherever it moved to.
Yes.
