So if it can be shown objectively that a given Western source repeatedly spreads disinformation about a given socialist/anti-Western country, you would support a blanket ban from the government of that country using the same logic you're giving for supporting the EU's blanket ban, right?
Riiiiight?
Exactly why I said there can be no healthy mass media environment. It's bullshit from everyone from all angles all the way down.
You didn't answer the question. Would you support a blanket ban of a news outlet by any government as long as a pattern of disinformation can be objectively shown? Like China or North Korea banning RFA, the news outlet with verifiably bullshit articles that even other Western outlets have debunked? Or is that privilege reserved for "the good guys" in your mind?
You commented this earlier:
You say you don't understand I think you already have an answer. Is it accurate for me to say that you think it's because we support pretty much anything done by a communist government against the West, and oppose anything done by Western liberal government against communist countries? I.e. we're solely looking at who did something when deciding whether to support it instead of the merits of the thing itself? If so, I'm throwing that accusation right back at you. I think you blindly support pretty much anything Western governments do as long as it's against one of the West's enemies and blindly oppose anything communist governments do against the West.
I think we should ban everyone or no one. Seeing as banning everyone will never happen we should ban no one. You're just making up strawmen to attack me with. It's a bit ridiculous and says a lot about you and nothing about me.
That's why I asked if it's accurate for me to say that. I assume your answer is no?
Why don't you tell me why you think we oppose the EU's authoritarianism but not communist authoritarianism then. Genuinely curious to know your real thoughts if my assumption was incorrect.
I don't know why. There are many thoughts I have. The mainly revolve around controlled opposition, muddying the waters and disenfranchising the left.
You absolute loser
This is what the West does. Why do you think historically, the West has cozied up to Nazis, even integrating them into high level governmental positions while also demonizing socialists?
Yes exactly. I am saying people like you who 1) communicate in bad faith and 2) promote ideas as one thing when they are actually another thing are operatives of the West, paid to muddy the waters. I have no intention of continuing to engage with bad faith posters so I'll be blocking you.
You know this act isnt fooling anyone and everybody can see who the dumbass here is, right?
This is one of the worst self humiliation sessions i ever seen on lemmy, dude got completely obliterated by like 4 different people yet continued to not even double down but uncontrollably tumble down all those stairs.
Refuse to answer honest questions, declare then bad faith, block, announce block. This is why the West will fall.
Interesting. I don't agree with that nor a lot of your assessment on communists but I appreciate you answering, thanks.
