    Hexbear also has a large number of Putin and CCP apologists. Authoritarian bootlicking isn’t liberalism.

        Pushing Native Americans onto reservations lifted a lot of European immigrants out of poverty.

        Burning fossil fuels lifted entire nations out of poverty.

        Campaigns against the barbarians lifted many Romans out of poverty.

        If you think this “lift” is some example of public good in action that hasn’t come at the cost of exploitation, you’re delusional.

          Chinese poverty elimination didn’t come on the backs of any of those things you goober. “Well have you considered that sometimes OTHER countries did bad things to reduce domestic poverty, and therefore China doing so is inherently bad actually !?” Grow the fuck up, this isn’t a real argument.

          China lifted 800 million people out of poverty by building healthcare, transport, housing, jobs, education and food security? Heh, but what about that time European settlers got richer by genociding Native Americans? Technically that was “poverty reduction” too, commie smuglord
