There’s a user down in the comments with a history of transphobic garbage bragging about not having been banned yet. Liberal inclusivity.

I mean, that’s the best the West has got. Everywhere else, social security is considerably worse and means-tested. Plus, both have got right-wing governments that aren’t exactly fans of social security: the last right-wing Finnish government introduced an ”activation” system for unemployment which was so bureaucratic a lot of people’s benefits were cut for not being able to jump through arbitary hoops, and they’re bringing a similar system back, as well as cutting many, more focused benefits. What @Lenins2ndCat@lemmy.world said also applies here, since the whole welfare state only exists due to the CIA funding social democrats during the Cold War as a counter to socialism.

There’s many more factors to consider than whether or not a country is AuThOrItArIaN. A country living off the backs of the global south can give its citizens a better standard of living than countries in the global south? Surprised Pikachu.

Let me guess, your examples are Finland and Sweden, two countries that have been gradually dismantling their welfare states for decades?

social security

lmao

Western countries, famous for loving social security.

Why would they be banned on Hexbear for violating another instance’s rules? That makes no sense.

A liberal on Lemmygrad thinking he’s got some new ideas to show the tankies is hilarious.

”Have you even read Xi’s Wikipedia article?”

Good thing that never happens with the liberals here.

exploding-heads also got an admin statement full of actual evidence showing how posters there were being racist. Hexbear only gets this frankly extremely poorly written and thinly argued diatribe with no actual substance.

The thread is from a year ago. Do you really expect the admins there to delete year-old threads just so people couldn’t trawl through them in bad faith?

Also, Lemmygrad != Hexbear.

to “dismantle western propaganda” and "demolish organizations such as NATO” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "respecting the rules of the community instance in which they are posting/commenting.”

That’s one hell of a stretch. NATO and the IMF must be pretty fragile if you can demolish them by posting on lemmy.world from hexbear.

lol at Tibet still being in these though. Dalai Lama is a pedo.

Libs making fun of conservatives for having one joke and then laughing at SOCIAL CREDIT XDEE for years on end.

No, it’s still super funny and we’ve even got a second joke now: SOCIAL CREDIT XD XD

FYI, the original joke had Xi as Winnie the Pooh standing next to Obama…as Tigger. Yikes.

lol, even that site directly states VoA is funded by the US government.

Here’s three words for you: fuck off, transphobe.

This time you’re conflating allowing an entity into a group with endorsing a specific characteristic of that entity.

It kind of is. Would they have allowed a communist nation to join? I highly doubt it. They could’ve easily said, ”no, you’re fascists, go away.” It’s not like getting fucking Portugal to join was essential.

Also you’re still keeping the whole “if they did so half a century ago, they approve of that kind of thing now” angle.

Hungary and Poland are not exactly democratic. You could even go as far as to say they’re ruled by fascists.

The only situation were that wouldn’t be a falacy is if it was an organisation explicitly about that characteristic - i.e. an Association Of Democratic Nations - which let in a country with opposite characteristics, which is not the case here since NATO is a military alliance.

I would agree with this, because at face value it’s true. Liberals are always calling NATO a group of civilized, European, democratic nations though, so you can’t have it both ways.

Their comment history is full of transphobia, so your effort is appreciated but unfortunately futile.

”Why are Nazis bad?”

”Here’s a detailed response.”

”Wow, I’m not reading that, it’s too long and must be crazy.”

I wonder how Nazis managed to worm their way into liberal spaces?
