    This is what’s funny about people claiming that users on XHS are propaganzing people to hate America. It’s Americans complaining about objectively true things and Chinese people saying stuff like:

    • “Do people really sell their blood?”
    • “It can’t be that bad, right?”
    • “I’m tired of hearing all this negative stuff. Can you tell us about some of the positive things about America?”
    • “I heard the American users are paid by our government to make it look bad” or “Maybe all the American who come here are lower class”

    Give Americans a brick wall to talk to and people will claim the wall is radicalizing us 🤣

    Just a couple of months ago a German court ruled that a magazine was extremist because analysing the capitalist system must consequently arouse the desire to destroy it. Well…

    Any comments about how we can “fix” capitalism will be promptly removed and the user given a timeout for rule 2. Capitalism is an inherently oppressive system.

        Socdem doesn’t prevent corporate capture of the state because it’s just milquetoast reforms that don’t change the power structure. At best it just delays the inevitable while making life slightly more comfortable for those under it’s oppression.

        Many SocDems believe capitalism simply needs to be reformed or properly controlled. This would not be allowed since regulating capitalism would still not remove the inequities inherent to it. For example, no matter how much we regulate capitalism in the US, it’s still bound to cause global suffering, not to mention the gradual, inevitable destruction of all human life.

          I usually say that capitalism is a horrible monster. You can try to put a leash on it, and maybe it’ll pull your cart forward for a while. But it’s going to shit everywhere, and break free of the leash (or be set free by some idiot), and then kill and eat as much as it can as that is the indelible nature of horrible monsters.

          It would be better to not have a horrible monster at all.
