Ironically China is the closest equivalent today to the old-style fascist regimes of the 30s. Also, its lulzworthy how they're openly taking a stand in favour of a real tyrannical oppressive regime when they probably consider people liking the Imperium to be proof that they're fascist.

Of course, they are dirty Tau fanboys.

Far-left Warhammer fans.

I noticed em on SB, still remember GuestLurker up till now.....really gotta say that SJW’s and Anti-SJW’s are somewhat more complicated

Specifically on the SJW side, we have creators and fans who were around before SJWism went into full force in the 2010’s who defend whatever the creators do

Citing realism and calling opposition Nazi’s, saying SJW’s don’t exist and we’re just paranoid about a “good” thing etc

I blame Western Entertainment or Hollywood repeatedly likening Post-Cold War America and being Right Wing with Fascism

They don’t look to have much knowledge about how Fascism ACTUALLY operated or what policies there were beyond being Nationalistic, which to them means being Xenophobic and Bigoted

They even conflate free market capitalism with it

Also, wasn’t WH40K made during Margaret Thatcher’s era? Like it and 2000 AD’s Judge Dredd were supposed to poke fun or criticise it somehow

The whole "sinophobia" thing is ridiculous. I want to go on a vacation to China, and I well. I love Chinese people, I get along with them well.... I remember the old man near my house who ran the Chinese restaurant and shop...

Filled with ROC flags and memorabilia of Chiang Kai-Shek and Sun Yat-Sen, who could rant for hours about the Red Chinese.

In my experience that sort tend to be unironic Chaosboos.

Well, yes, that too. I guess I was trying for a cheap shot at them?

Sounds like an interesting fellow.

He could start talking about some massacre the communists committed in 1949 off the top of his head in language that would chill me to the bone, and then years later I'd look it up, and be able to confirm it was a telling of an event that had actually happened...

How exactly does conversations between refugees of older Communist/Socialist States go with the guys romanticising it?

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.

the Chinese people are great their government kind of sucks.

And the government is going to get more sucky because of a whole bunch of structural issues that are going to hit them soon.

Well, if anything the average chinese person is hard working and intelligent

Though they’ll have a problem due to the effects of that frankly stupid one child policy

Also, the whole mostly choosing for it to be boys to be born

boys get chosen because they are culturally and some times legally expected to take care of their parents in their old age. Women do not have that expectation and when they marry they enter the husbands family. From the parents point of view a boy is an investment and future retirement plan, a girl is an fincial liability.

The best way to correct this problem is to make girls also finically responsible for their parents in their old age.

Don’t they also have female children go through the same Education Tiger Mom stuff?

Most parents want the best for their children no matter what their gender is.

Yeah, kinda sad that much of those kids in China won’t even reach the top, much less a middle class job

High levels of competition and not enough middle to upper class jobs could probably lead to things like factory workers with loads of debt and diplomas and PHD’s wondering why they even bothered or blaming themselves for “not working hard enough”

Going back to the topic on hand, I guess aside from 40KLore it’s safe to say most subreddits and scifi fantasy forums have been taken over

A "meme" Reddit area which is dedicated to making as many communism related topics from AoS, WHFB and 40k as possible. Sometimes not even Warhammer, just communism apologetics and water muddying.

Here be link: r/Sigmarxism

I can remember browsing it in the interests of morbid curiosity to see that one of their members posted an idea for a "good version" of the Dark Eldar which boiled down to "the exact same as in canon, but they only do what they do to privileged members of Imperial society".
