    It’s funny how people that casually see hexbear always say this but there is critique about things China does there all the time, most posts are jokes so outsiders might misinterpret it. Hexbear doesn’t really stan anything as a unit except the end of Western imperialism.

      Every time I interact with any hexbear user in anything remotely related to China, it is flying whataboutism “But U.S. …”, “It is unlike the west haven’t …”, “We should fix our own problem first”.

      Thanks, I am trying to fix our own problem. I am Chinese… And they would never defend any western allies’ action with the same whataboutism (of course I am not saying they should, whataboutism is a valid excuse to neither China nor the west), like they did with China and Russia. To me, this feels like pro-China/pro-Russia bias.

      Besides, the world is definitely not better off with more dictators, people shouldn’t be fine with repression just because they are not in the same country as you.
