Federal prosecutors said the accused portrayed himself as a proponent of democracy in China to gain the trust of dissidents. He was convicted of sharing information with Beijing’s Ministry of State Security.

          It’s something only an actual communist would know. Not an armchair market communist.

                  Paying money means nothing. People toss money in the hat at church on Sundays, and then forget why on Monday. I’ve never seen a hexbear or an ml on Lemmy do anything but troll. Communists in name only.

                    I guess participation doesn’t count then. Leafleting, organising, protesting, educating. All of that doesn’t count because hexbear call people out when they show their arse eh?

                    As if there is nothing more to our lives than what we post on an online discussion board.

                    If you go to hexbear’s front page you’ll see that we have a strong culture of promoting leftist theory. Our internal culture is a mixture of seriousness and silliness, with a lot of struggle sessions where we try to hammer out our differences.

                    And yeah, we do do quite a bit of trolling, because ultimately federation has put us in contact with an awful lot of easy marks. So sorry if that has upset you. If your own instance had a decent culture of it’s own, maybe you wouldn’t feel so threatened.
