Man, you can lock the whole instance for yourself, you don't have to make the decision for everyone.
Blocking doesn't solve the problem of the misinformation, Russian/Chinese propaganda, genocide denialism and human rights abuse denials they push
And also, I'm not making a decision for anyone
Yeah, like this one dude who keeps pushing this weird political agenda against Marxists as the world slips into fascism because he doesn't understand the concept of prioritization.
A whole crusade just so Breitbart articles can get posted comfortably with only gentle downvotes as pushback.
I'm not against socialism/communism, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd be happy to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime.
Just not replacing it with just another flavor of authoritarianism, which is what the Tankies push which is what the current regimes of China and Russia are
marx was not a statist, leftism is about the destruction of heirachy, just because some idiots think they will be the king to control their pawns doesnt mean that is what the political theory suggests.
did you like... read it? by statist I assume you mean in favor of a state?
marx understood the nessesity of the state, but the end goal is a stateless society
Because tankies are just facists in red~
Tankies and facists do genocide, and two thinga can be bad at the same time! Imagine that!
So do liberals.
Do you think everyone should defederate .world?
I'm down. I'd fucking love not having to yell at both people that don't know what words mean and support modern genocide and people that do know what words mean but can't get over the fact that America Bad does not make Russia/China good.
No?
It's different?
Perhaps because liberal genocide, like communist genocide, is a failure of ideological ethics instead of a feature like in black fascism?
Yes, neoliberal regimes at least have conducted genocides, although it'd point it out as authoritarian regimes.
No, not really - it's mostly about telling the tankies that they are the same as their most hated enemy.
And the only difference between .ml and .world would be denial of genocide, at least as I've seen no denial of native genocides in Canada, US, scandinavia, or similar - neither any denial of the ongoing genocide in palestine. Ofcourse that could just be less noticed and talked about, but they don't ban you for saying that the US is doing genocide
You have literally witnessed a real genocide for the past 2 years live on TikTok, with multiple daily updates on bombings, murders, and children assassinations. How come there's not ONE picture of whatever other "genocide" you're trying to construe leftists deny?
China is the subject matter expert on censorship and media control, they probably wrote the book on it. Israel by comparison is both new at it and, honestly, I don't think they cared to hide it that much. China in all likelihood has very good (well good for them anyways...) reasons to do everything it can to keep a tight lid on it
Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays (and Herman & Chomsky) literally wrote the books on it.
People on China have widespread and non-prosecuted access to VPNs. This is common knowledge. Media is irrelevant, a single photograph from a mobile phone leaked on the internet would be enough to make New York Times cover. The fact that this hasn't happened proves enough.
There isn't evidence of genocide in China. You can possibly make an argument for police state, but the genocide thing is so thoroughly debunked even wikipedia had to change the article title to "persecution" last year. If you want to have a serious, evidence-based conversation about this instead of the usual ear-shutting and namecalling, I'm fully willing.
Ok, so we can't yet use "genocide", we just have to say that China is commiting crimes against humanity on them
That's some Grade A dystopian shit right there
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs
It's a good thing .world doesn't deny any major contemporary genocides or carry water for the party that started it... [rolls eyes so hard I die]
would love to hear specifics??
You neolibs have almost mastered the art of gaslighting as much as the Trump chuds. Congrats!
Asks to hear specifics
You: THATS GASLIGHTING!
what‽
LMAO, nobody's been denying what's happening there, most of us have been saying that Trump would be, at the time pre election, far far far worse for Palestine and very bad news for everyone. And has simply been proven since.
Exactly what we've been saying is coming to pass, but a VotE fOr HaRRis iS a VotE foR geNoCiDe amiright?
ok it is palestine related, i really havent seen any zionists on lemmy, let alone .world specifically.
edit: also the dnc arnt left wing so idk how i can really be lumped in with them, also because im not from the US, but i guess you chuds are
edit2: says theyre leftwing uses abelist slur
Care to elaborate?
You can block them, so you don't have to see their posts (or their comments, some apps allow you to block the comments as well iirc). Or you can move to an instance that chose to defederate with them.
