Liberal and Soc-Dem spaces are mostly white male neckbeards

No they aren't tf. Maybe on reddit but that's 90% of reddit.

Ok I'm gonna be honest I'm probably wrong, I was thinking semantically but googling that was a surprise for me. Just didn't want the hexbears to be right.

Earnest and good faith? I clicked the fucking link, there was a literal NSFW pig, shitting on its fucking testicles. Why would I listen to what they have to say after that?

Nope, it would make sense if the pronoun tags were 90% he/him and she/her, but the extent of variation among the tags user choose is completely unrealistic and arbitrary that any community would have.

Any tankie space would obviously be like 98% he/him neckbeards only.

Lol proving my point, this is like, the exact thing a bot would reply.

An unnecessary comparison. I'm talking about 1 in 40 Chinese people facing hunger, this has absolutely nothing to do with America.

Purchasing power parity of China is 4.022. So let's look at the overall poverty line of $2.30 in China. That would be equalivent to $9.25 a day in America, or $3,376 a year.

China makes their poverty rates appear so low by making their poverty line absolutely ridiculous and actually much lower than comparable countries.

Of course I couldn't any PPP rates for just rural China (although it's pretty obvious $3,376 isn't going to suddenly becoming $30,000 because it's rural), but see this:

Our results indicate that the mean subjective poverty line of the rural households is 8297 yuan per capita, which is far higher than the national poverty line (2800 yuan). Statistically, 29% of the surveyed rural households who are not objectively poor feel subjectively poor.

Oh well if they say their production is socialist guided then they're tooootally socialist! Just ignore the privately owned factories paying people $2 a day and the fact billionaires still exist.

How do you know that? People in China go hungry all the time. Official poverty rates might've been reduced significantly, but the poverty line in China is much less livable than the poverty line in America. If you make $2.31 a day in China, you're not technically in poverty!

Not to mention similar homelessness rates to America

...Why are yall supporting the CCP forcing farmers to do something against their will? How do you expect underpaid, overworked farmers to turn a profit and provide for their families if you're making them grow a bunch of dirt cheap rice?
