Unfortunately for your ideology, most Chinese people support their government:

How do you reconcile this? Shall we trot out some paternalisms about “brainwashing” next?


Do you have anything but the most condescending and one-sided “solidarity” for a people who support their government?


Were the trade unionists the ones immolating unarmed soldiers and stringing up their corpses?


see Tienamin Square

I’m looking it up, and I don’t see any “Tienanmin Square”. Could it be “Tiananmen Square” that you’re thinking of? The one protesting government corruption? Where unarmed soldiers were burned alive? Where Christian sickos were trying to get students in the line of fire to create atrocity propaganda? Surely there must be some confusion here!


I can’t quite tell if this is a parody, the trade union bit makes it seem sincere, but the self-importance to think that lemmy is too left for China to allow is just amazing.


sometimes questionable moderation

That’s one way of putting it. Another way is “ramrodding the narratives of anglo chauvinists that are to the right of even the neoliberal historical consensus”.


We might be running into a Nazi Bar, paradox of tolerance type issue here. If you treat him that way, there’s a fair chance that he’s just going to use the opportunity to propagandize to whoever will listen.


So if they come in swinging about how they “don’t deny” that black people are genetically less intelligent and say that their opposition is either propagandized or propagandists, that would tilt the scales for you?


So as long as they don’t ideologically agree with you it’s acceptable to be toxic towards them, because their “wrong ideology” makes them toxic?

Think about this in the context of, idk, race science or something. Let’s say you have someone who is openly a big fan of Charles Murray, owns a copy of The Bellcurve, gets the whole nine yards. Would you deny that such a person is necessarily toxic?


“insult” sure.

He effectively called a porcupine spikey.

Wonder how the porcupine got its spikes . . . Must be its authoritarian personality!


so inclusive wanting to bring down America

Paradox of tolerance, babyyy

I still can’t wrap my head around being so pro-trans rights (a fabulous thing), yet in the same breath simping for China.

Cuba supports both
