Good thing I’m not deepseek: here is an accessible and brief breakdown of that dangerous historical moment which in many ways decided the future for the entire world.

And maybe this is the calculation of CPC behind Deepseek’s avoidance of pilitical topics:
-
Facts don’t matter, and reason is useless against Western chauvinism, because for those who grew up with a supremacist world view for 20 generations it is a matter of pure emotion.
-
It is better to enable Westerners to preserve their illusions of “Chinese authoritarianism” and “Western freedom”, to stoke Western hubris, for as long as possible before they become totally untennable; because illusions and hubris are sedatives.
-
The opinions of citizens of the imperialist sphere are not important.
-
The highest priority in this era is to prevent war, in which case multipolarity, anti-imperialism, and the global South wins. If prevention fails, war will likely lead to devastating defeat for both sides, for all of humanity.
-
Thus the optimum, least risk-prone procedure is not to inflame anti-communist emotions and provoke imperialist passions with Chinese AI giving factual perspectives which will cause heated online debates between East and West — The East knows the truth, and that’s enough for now.
out of curiosity, why are you on midwest? the admin is still ultimately an anticommunist despite their uh “tankie” opinions (iirc the whole incident where .world and the other blue maga i.e. fascist instances ganged up on him and called him an ebil tankie?)
like seriously, midwest has de-federated from barely anyone beides actual fascists (also feddit.nl, wtf happened there? hexbear has never even defeded from .nl and the admins have been pretty quick to defederate in the lat couple of years)
sorry if you were unaware of any of this, just your instance and dbzero’s defed of grad left me expecting a relatively soon defederation of hexbear and yet it still has yet to happen
I started on kbin, and I’m Midwestern, so after leaving kbin, I decided on this one because it appealed to my sensibilities.
Our admin has been vehemently antifascist, to the point it really rustles some jimmies on world etc.
I asked about grad defed because that happened before I joined, apparently it was issues with brigading, not anything else. If we were to defed from hex and ml for some ideological reason it would be extremely surprising to me. I would also probably move over then.
There’s a lot of insane brain worms on these larger instances. I feel like being able to say “if you’re an actual leftist, you will find friends on hexbear” is a valuable counter to some of these obsessive weirdos.
