    China praise is so puzzling. Chinese people aren’t locked in the way north Koreans are. They can, and do, leave the country. And then, they can tell you about china. Have they met someone who grew up in china irl? I have, and it’s made me all the more lib-dem socialist.

    Isn’t it racist for them to think that the things the government of China has done is because of their race?

    Edit: a quick thought. I don’t agree with the idea that being against the actions of Israel is the same as being antisemitic at all. It’s an argument that I reject regardless of whatever population distribution there is. A nation is not a race. In fact I’d argue the idea that criticizing them is antisemitic is itself antisemitic. Anyway on an unrelated note, isn’t the argument that being against actions of China is sinophobic very similar to something else that just passed out of my mind for some reason.

    top 3 censored topics:

    • criticizing China, Russia, far left
    • praising far right
    • not being 100% for everything transgenders or blahaj asks for

    Trying to drum up an army by spamming a public call to action seems worse than over moderating your own instance. I doubt you’re much better than those you wish to criticize.

      Call to action to not participate in ml? Horrifying. Absolute tyranny.

      Also sweet Jesus.

      You: Stop spamming!

      Also you:

        I genuinely thought something was bugging out when I saw the exact same comment chain four posts in a row

      It’s not spamming when I’m documenting wholly separate incidences, after all, if dessalines wasn’t using their power and influence to enforce a political narrative through censorship and propaganda spreading so much, I wouldn’t be able to post much of it now would I?

          And? For one, there’s PieFed and Mbin and if it wasn’t Lemmy there would have been something else that would have come along.

          For two, someone doing good work does not give them a free pass to be shitty in other areas. You can praise one for good work in one thing and criticize them for the bad things they’re doing in another.
