Hexbears sucking up to dictators while claiming to be pro lgbtq will never not be funny
China's bottom-up system of power starting at the mass line via committees and polling does mean a slower progress on social change than a top-down approach like you see in the west, but it also means a more consistent gradual improvement as younger generations age up. Whereas it's always a constant battle in the west, with a large (quite often successful) push for reversal.
Trans rights got a boost in China just last week for example with a court ruling.
Right, the "bottom-up" system with a dictator for life at the top.
