So are you saying that in the glorious Chinese workers paradise they don’t set and enforce decent health and safety policies and regulate working conditions and wages for the benefit of their citizens? Paint me amazed!
I had responded to a tankie who claimed that China wasn’t an oligarchy by sarcastically asking if they thought the workers control the government, and like 5 different (or are they?) hexbears descended on me to tell me that yes, akshually, they do (and therefore must be the most self loathing workers on the planet, if those are the conditions they inflict on themselves, and curiously keep “electing” the same authoritarian, billionaire, dictator to be at the top of their classless, moneyless, stateless society). 🤦♀️
E: on a side note since I’ve got you here and you’re an admin, I thought this instance was defederated from hex, and I have them on my personal blocked instance list, should I still be seeing their users?
You can still come across their users if they post in a community external to Hexbear, even if you have instance blocked them. Our instance actually isn’t defederated from Hexbear fyi. They mostly leave us in peace nowadays though, so unless you go looking for a fight on their instance, you’re unlikely to run into problems with them.
I remembered seeing some drama between the two instances from before I moved over to db0, so I just assumed off the back of that, but good to know, thanks! Definitely don’t go looking for them, I have better things to do with my time and little remaining sanity lol

The scary thing is they genuinely believe this.

Aww, why the downvote @Cowbee@lemmy.ml? That was one of my more diplomatic posts too lol.
To be fair, didn’t mean to downvote that one.
