The Chinese reaction to describing Mao as a dictator is silly, but at least in their case they've been indoctrinated from birth in a brutal totalitarian dictatorship to worship him.
Not true of the Western tankies supporting Mao, who are just bloodthirsty antisocial psychopaths.

Weird how he didn't spend that time talking about NATO expansion.
NEW: Vladimir Putin spent most of his call with the leaders of Finland and Norway ranting about Slavic history, underscoring Europe's tough task backing Ukraine in peace talks.
The planned 20-minute call dragged on for 90. A ceasefire barely came up:

Man discovers that when you make it illegal to express an opinion, no one expresses that opinion.
Very funny dissonance between the ambient western media portrayal of Mao as a “dictator” and the undeniable fact that among more than 1 billion actual Chinese people that is an extremely fringe opinion
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is illegal to "mock" figures such as Mao in China, making it an unlikely position for the average Chinese citizen to hold.

I think it’s hilarious how the people who are immune to propaganda think there’s 0 chance the other side has ever done propaganda at all. They think it’s a 1 way street and only western countries are capable of lying
Read like half an hours worth of actual history on Mao Zedong (not written by a conservative/yank), and you’ll probably realise he is one of the greatest humans to have ever lived by the end of the night.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Historians including Chinese journalist Yang Jisheng using Communist Party archives estimate 36 million or more deaths from the Great Leap Forward famine under Mao Zedong, with broader scholarly ranges of 30-45 million or higher for that period alone.

if you’re still falling for this guys shit, let alone donating to him for his vanity lawsuit, you’re as doomed as anyone still supporting trump in 2026.
Hasan confirms he will probably fundraise soon for his Scott Jennings lawsuit
"It's a very costly endeavor..these are very powerful people..this person is quite literally a prominent figure in the media..I don't think you should be able to get away with lying like this"
"If I don't put a stop to it, they're gonna continue..if these guys will not hold up ethics in media and journalism..someone has to fight back..completely unacceptable the way that media and entertainment has merged..and people use these platforms to say whatever they want about their political opposition"

I never want to hear about how Americans are propagandized again. We learn about the founding fathers' slaves in middle school, meanwhile grown ass adults in China think Mao was under democratic constraints somehow.

There’s no appeasing the internet in this situation so he should just do what he thinks is best. But anyone who thinks Atrioc is not genuinely remorseful is a jackass. He doesn’t need to be permanently exiled from the space and he shouldn’t allow Pokimane to dictate what he can or can’t do.
Atrioc responds to Pokimane and reveals he dropped out of TwitchCon
"I saw the posts..I agree with them..those feelings are totally valid, sincerely..it was a bad thing to do, I wish I didn't do it..I never tried to defend myself, I never tried to downplay it..if that makes you uncomfortable..it is 100% valid"
"I'm trying to use my actions and time and money and effort and whatever I can show that's not who I am..but there is no Konami code for forgiveness..if you don't forgive me, you are fully within your right to do that..I'm just doing my best in the small little circle I'm in to rebuild trust"
"But there are some people for whom they see my actions, and see what I'm doing, and feel open to the idea of trusting me again or giving me a shot. And I do think those people should be allowed to..as long as we stay in our own lane"
"I dropped out bc I don't know if that's gonna make someone uncomfortable..that's fine, I'm trying to not get in the way of anything..trying to make the content that I make, I have an audience that likes it..have a few close friends..I disavow anyone at all who is trying to use this stuff to like attack people or be part of a larger f'in streamer or culture war"
hasan celebrated the lawfare by the trump administration against adam schiff and said ‘i hope he goes to prison’. it was a joke to him. now omar is facing similar abuse by the trump administration and she‘s happily doing events with hasan. hard to have sympathy for this moron.
It’s almost as if @hasanthehun is tanking the democrats chance of winning in Minnesota on purpose…

If you're a single-issue gas price voter, you should probably spend like 5 minutes looking up how oil prices work. You'd learn that the US president has very little impact on them unless they do something crazy like shut down a pathway for a quarter of the world's oil.
remember everybody, repeatedly using ‘inbred’ as an insult towards jewish people isn’t antisemitic, but saying ‘you guys’ is clearly vicious islamophobia
Replying to @Lis_Smith @WajahatAli
When you say "you guys" to me and Wajahat, as we critique openly bigoted attitudes towards Abdul, including from some Dems, do you mean "Muslims"? Or what? Just clarifying...

“Don’t judge us based on our platform which is decided on by the members of the organization!”
Is fucking deranged. Yeah the candidates aren’t “running” on abolish the police because they have three brain cells, but there’s no reason to believe they actually disagree with the platform unless they specifically call it out.
We’re literally just criticizing the positions the org puts on their website. What are we doing here.
Kyle Kulinski: Centrists using Fox News talking points to attack the left, like bringing up these unpopular ideas in the DSA platform
Tim Miller: The DSA platform is crazy though, maybe just change it.
Kyle: The ones you would consider crazy like abolishing prisons or open borders—none of our candidates ran on those things. Do you agree with me that's basically a Fox News talking point that centrists are echoing against their left flank?
Tim: Yes. I agree with that in part.

You can't just say "the DSA candidate didn't put the DSA platform in their commercials, therefore it's bad faith trolling to claim they share those beliefs." If they disagree with the DSA that much then they should quit.

What's crazy about Piker is the longer you're aware of his existence, the more you realize he lies about everything. Everything. Every topic, every conversation. He is the most fantastically dishonest person I've ever been aware of. It's fucking relentless.
Hasan explains the Ethan Klein situation to congress candidate Angela Torres
"Spent the last 3 years defending Israel's gen*cide while simultaneously attacking all of Israel's critics..imploded his business..he has come after virtually every single person that is on the internet that has been defending Palestinians..while simultaneously claiming that he's an ardent supporter of Palestinians..trying to smear..frivolous litigation..he's the horrible monster"
you’re a putin apologist who blames joe biden for the invasion of ukraine. you’re hardly someone to be listened to about intellect
