>But they do have better rhetoric and are more invested in the debate
For anyone unfamiliar with r/sino:
They believe the Tienanmen Square massacre was justified
They believe the Uighur concentration camps are justified
They believe an invasion of Taiwan is righteous, and there is generally a lot of extreme vitriol directed at Taiwan and the Taiwanese
They believe in and spread a lot of misinformation concerning the HK protests, and there is generally a lot of vitriol aimed at Hong Kongers
You are banned if you question the CCP at all, with a most ridiculous ban message.
They are just as bad as r/t_d was.
Being anti-ccp is also not being an ignorant hater. Looking at their actions, it is a pretty reasonable stance.
Also, should be of note to other HN users, there is a reddit account with the name "dirtyid" which has a pro-CCP bias and a very strong anti HK democracy stance.
- dirtyid 6y agoWell duh, that's me. I'm pro-CCP on policies I agree with and anti-CCP on policies I don't. You know... the kind of nuance reasonable people reserve for their own governments, but can't seem to generalize outside their tribe. Sino's an unfortunate echochamber because 50k pro-China voices can't withstand brigading of vastly numerous anti-China voices. It's understandable to adopt siege mentality, plenty of other places soft/hard ban pro-China opinion. Also you list a bunch of pro China views that are consistent with pro-China interests like... that's a problem? Regardless, I don't care much for Sino, at minimum they do good counter-propaganda work. I'm more partial to china_irl which is gated by Chinese fluency.
- ourlordcaffeine 6y agoYou agree with some pretty awful things then. And any reasonable person would have a problem with the things listed.
