A lemmy instance full of trolls and people celebrating chinese and russian fascism in the name of socialism
i once read a thread where they were saying to defederate from everyone. then why federate in the first place
Their instance, I gather, is set to NOT federate with anyone by default, and their admins need to manually add other instances to their federation. Most instances are set to federate by default, so they need to un-federate with another instance here and there.
They vote on who to Federate with
They’re whitelist for federation, yeah.
Some whine that they did not want federation in the first place and the mods did it without their consent. Slightly ironic considering they do not like democracy (although they claim you can have democracy without voting...somehow).
haha democracy without voting
Every hexbear person I have come across thinks China is a democracy despite people not being able to at least vote for their representatives.
Since when do people in China not get to vote for their representatives?
Wrong, there are at least 8 other parties in congress and at local levels you don’t need to be a member of any party to be elected to certain posts. Where’s your evidence of the votes being fixed? You’re just lying and making things up about spooky enemy country
Same thing in other countries. US only has two parties to choose from and the elections don’t matter, sometimes they even make the person who got less votes than the other one president.
How many parties in Congress? Every president for over a century has been one of the two parties, it’s not a democracy at all. That’s a good thing by the way. If it was a democracy the lazy poors could vote away the power of the rich. That’s why James Madison who wrote the constitution said we can’t have a democracy because it would stop us from hoarding wealth. I’m glad he did that because otherwise us wealthy folk wouldn’t be able to do whatever we want.
Chinas problem is it has too much democracy. The people that live there like their government (gross!) and say that it is democratic. That’s because the lazy poors over there get to run the show and the rich can’t just do whatever they want (NOT GOOD).
The Democrat and Republican parties definitely determine who can run since they make all the laws. It’s a dictatorship, which is good for me since I’m rich and I don’t want lazy poors to be able to vote for dumb policies that tax me more to pay for handouts.
Oh no, somebody should tell them!
There are literally millions of elections in China every year, what the actual fuck are you talking about? Who told you they don’t vote for their representatives? They lied to you.
what the hell are you talking about
every person there will describe their democratic beliefs, all of whom have a voting system with representatives. That is basic leftism. Are you lying or just born a fool?
I think I recall seeing you post calling for the death of other users. Not going to put much stock in what you say.
:D I'm recognized
I call for the death of bigots, not people lol
Everyone you consider a 'lib.' Real discerning. /s
Although I'm pretty sure that was your hexbear alt. Don't you also want to defederate from everyone? Why are you here?
Oh this was an excursion to see my "caught in 4k" glory. Nothing more. I want hexbear out of anyone's reach, but that does not mean I want you guys out of my reach.
Oh god that is sad.
dont worry, ya'll are too boring for me to pop up but rarely
you don't seem to have an ideology besides repackaged liberalism
Typical lib argument.
Equating communists you disagree with with fascism is holocaust trivialization, according to mainstream Jewish scholars of the holocaust.

China isn't fascist, it is an capitalist/socialist mixed industrial economy with a ruling socialist party. Russia is literally just another oligarchy with opposed interests to US Oligarchy, they don't have the important base economic markers characteristic of fascism and yes, the article opposes equating fascists and communists.
thanks for sharing. Quite an interesting read.
I don‘t think the linked text supports your argument at all. Calling the chinese fascists in light of the way they treat their citizens in general and the genocide against the Uyghurs especially is not at all comparable to eastern European nations revering people that murdered yews.
No offense but you missed the point. The most extreme claim from a german christian fascist was that China has 1 million people in reducation camps.That is not equivalent to the intentional extermination of 11 million people, before we count the 19 million soviet civilians who died during the german invasion outside the concentration camps.
Jewish people arent the only people who ever were victim to fascism.... To say china commits a holocaust is holocause trivialization. To say it is a fascist country is not.
To say it is a fascist country is making fascism look better then it is. Fascism doesn't have 95 percent of the population approving of the government. Fascism doesn't exempt minorities from the one child policy. Fascism doesn't end extreme poverty in a country of 1.4 billion people. Fascism doesn't lead to trans youth Healthcare clinics sprouting up in major cities.
