hell yeah, another battery of deep concern just got launched at Israel - no way their concern defenses can hold against this huge wage

[-] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 55 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Concerned enough to cut off trade with them? No? Gtfo of here then.

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

getting china to stop trade is like getting a mountain to move. they are just so entrenched in their ways they cannot even imagine anything different

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

watched Lukahenko's recent visit with Xi. Lukashenko was giving China huge praise but he also stated that Western countries was putting immense pressure on Belarus. It seemed like Lukashenko was begging China to finally assert itself as a world power, instead of having such a narrow merchant foreign policy. Yeah, China's plans are always long and patient (even Lavrov joked about it), but it seems its allies are getting a bit impatient.

Yes, I was looking to work there and they have a pretty big surge in hiring Hebrew speakers as well.

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

I know someone in China who works IT for an Israeli company and according to them this is extremely common. Like half of Israel’s IT work is contracted out to China

[-] Leegh@hexbear.net 45 points 6 months ago

This is like China's version of "sending a strongly worded letter" that we always make fun of civility libs for. Stop being a lib Xi.

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 43 points 6 months ago

wow I just saw a Zionist talking about "Western media accusing [the Entity] of attacking Iran first"

you mean to say non-Western media is also saying that

unbelievable

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 3 points 6 months ago

wow I just saw a Zionist talking about "Western media accusing [the Entity] of attacking Iran first"

Really? Where? All I've seen has been stuff claiming an "unprovoked attack" from Iran. Literally ignoring Israel's first strike. I feel like I'm going to be fighting a losing battle with my libs with this war, they'll be seig-heiling within 6 months.

[-] MizuTama@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

I don't like left-bashing generally but the concerned memes are kinda really funny.

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

They might as well say fucking nothing at this stage.

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

They'll be deeply concerned even if NATO coups all their allies and replaces them with CIA puppets

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

Trump just threatened Tehran on his Truth Social, telling "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" With the huge USAF fleet of tankers flying across the Atlantic last night, the idiot might bomb Tehran tonight.

[-] catonkatonk@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

I'm hearing "deeply concerned" in a Homer Simpson voice

lol fuck off OP, you dare call people "ultras" when we question Chinese neoliberal brainworms now you turn around and repeat our memes dunking on them? lol lmao even Show us that book about Chinese Marxism again and the chapter on cooperating with the Nazis.

Yeah they suck, glad we can agree now lol.

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 24 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

All of us have criticisms of China. The difference is our criticism isn't used as a wedge point to immediately go "Xinnie poo tianenment uygurt genocide!!!!".

Y'all can't make up your minds, always claiming MLs are incapable of criticism but whenever you see the criticism you take it as admission that you were right about everything ever.

Simmer down.

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 6 months ago

I wasn’t implying that, more wondering if they refers to “all of China,” the CPC, or just libs within the party

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It depends on the Ultra. A lot of western chauvinist ultras will say "the party" but let them ramble on long enough and they'll reveal that they basically think the exact same thing that libs do about the "asiatic brainpan" and think that Chinese people are incapable of thinking for themselves.

Some of them do believe in the people of China and want a second civil war to happen, an even more extreme cultural revolution that purges all of the non-pure communists from society. How a devastating civil war that will kill tens, if not hundreds of millions of people and devastate the country will actually "help" China is never explained, only that the survivors will be Morally Pure, before their massively weakened and destabilised country is destroyed by the US.

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

The cool thing about "critical" support is that you can approve of the things you think a state is doing well, and disapprove of the things that they aren't doing well. You don't have to see everything in black and white terms.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
