No thanks. I don't give a fuck about getting ratio'd. Let the people decide. Assuming this platform ever gets more traction, which it seems to be doing, the vast majority of the people that come here won't be tankies so... no, no I don't think I will go somewhere else.

These people really want their echo chamber, not a good look for Lemmy imo

echo chamber? youre the one echoing western corporate media narrative.

[–] xTechDeath@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have done no such thing lol. I’ve made two comments one making fun of the guy that said china isn’t part of world news and this one. Your comment trying to paint me in this light just reeks of desperation or the inability to read

I'm sorry let me clarify. By 'you' I mean the influx of users with a predominantly western liberal mindset.

[–] xTechDeath@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

So posting one article about china bad is an influx of new users with a predominantly western liberal mindset echoing the corporate media narrative. Seems like a bit of a reach.

If someone posted some bad shit about USA nobody would give af and would mostly agree, you just seem like you don’t want anything critical of china

Why make/go to another political echo chamber over potentially getting "ratio'd" (which is meaningless and doesnt say anything about one's argument). Anyone has the right to post something no matter what people around think. Posting all this on an instance that would be INSTANTLY defederated by instances like lemmygrad is pointless and we'd just end up with less debate and more polarization.

Hey, I just wanted to clarify something because I wasn't sure from reading your comment, but Lemmygrad federates with everyone by default, except instances that have caused us troll waves in the past. We federate with e.g. lemmy.one and beehaw.org, but they instantly blocked us on day one.

We do also block the nazis

Hey, tankies, decent countries don't have to violently suppress their populations and then lie about it. Oh, and socialism is worker ownership of the means of production, not whatever the fuck they're doing in China.

(inb4 people assuming I must support the US since I hate China)

Decent countries. What a slippery slope for supremacist thoughts.

[–] balerion@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Lol. Thinking some countries have better governments than others is supremacist? Whatever, dude.

By the way. If there are any countries with decent governments, I don't know of them. But like. If there were decent countries, they wouldn't behave like China.

Disgusting Anglo supremacists, I can count on you 11/10 times.

Meanwhile in Taiwan, the island's equivalent of the Tiananmen massacre from the KMT dictatorship (the 228 incident) has its own memorial park and museum.

No need for a self-inflicted legitimacy crisis when you respect your citizens' basic rights.

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When USA can have a China puppet government, just like US puppet DPP exists in Taiwan (part of China BTW), we can talk about legitimacy crisis. I wonder if Confederate States once again united to divide USA, how would Americans talk to outsiders having nuanced conversations, considering, losing to China in all kinds of fields already makes their citizens wish for nukes.

[–] gzrrt@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're not Taiwanese yourself (i.e., one of the people who's actually affected by what happens there), I definitely don't care about your opinion on this topic.

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

I did not know other people could not shut down BS that gets spouted by ignoramuses or malicious state propagandists.

[–] elouboub@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure I understand China's reactions here... if nothing happened, then why not just let them congregate and "remember" something that supposedly didn't happen? What's the harm? If they were blocking traffic or riots were involved, it would understandable to want to stop it, but if it's peaceful, where's the harm? Unless of course, something did happen that they want people to forget...
