It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

No, dumbshit. The 'assumption' that you project onto me has nothing to do with whether China would need SECRET AND STEALTHY execution methods for PUBLIC TRIALS. Your racism is on display in how you need to make everything sinister because other.

So don't fucking lecture me about not understanding context or intent, you fucking illiterate.

China has a properly working fair justice system, which a lot of signs point against

And your racism is on further display here as you dishonestly hold an outside other to a much, much higher standard than you hold your own government which is 100x more deserving of this criticism. That's what you've been crying 'whataboutism' for this entire time. People pointing out that you're an unthinking racist. Speaking of reading comprehension being too great a task for your anglo brain pan.

I am not even going to answer to the first part because you are just making yourself look ridiculous.

However I am going to say that your second part makes you even look even more ridiculous. You just cannot grasp the concept of other people being able to do two things at the same time.

I am indeed capable of criticizing a foreign government AND my government at the same time.

However in this context one has nothing to do with the other.

So I am going to say the line again and again until maybe you start to understand it.

Whataboutism

Just because my government (which btw you have no idea where I am from) is shit does not in any shape or form excuse any shit behavior of ANY other government.

My initial take was never about the Chinese government and simply pointed out what a shit idea a mobile execution unit would be.

No you aren't. You have to have knowledge of the topic in order to criticize something and we're here talking about how you're reacting to a hypothetical. This is as much a thought terminating cliche as whataboutism.

It appears that your brain just shut down when the criticism was articulated and focused at you. You brushed it off completely with a catty 'ridiculous' and went on like it never happened, changing the subject to denying you ever did anything to draw criticism at all.

You just traffic in very reddit brained stupid behavior.

Sure if that makes you feel better.
