Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

"no guys it's totally not an echo chamber, we just ban and/or relentlessly attempt to troll anyone with a differing opinion than ours!"

I'd say it's an impressive level of cognitive dissonance, but then, you'd already have to have that to believe China is a socialist utopia. Really it's just Tuesday for them.

    I said it elsewhere, but a space where the dominant opinion is fringe among the general population is not really an echo chamber, while one where the space aligns with the dominant views and bans dissenting views is. You can't avoid engaging with the dominant ideas of society.

    Secondly, I have never seen anyone say the PRC is a socialist "utopia." It's socialist, yes, but not a utopia. Marxism is anti-utopian.
