    These threads are great because they are nice tankie block attractors. They can’t help themselves from commenting on their non tank-3 accounts.

      It’s hilarious. I have them all tagged and the same usual suspects always show up like clockwork.

          Just check any thread involving China, Russia or North Korea. Or any thread regarding .ml or .world. They’ll always show up.

    Man, your post has really brought out the CCP shills. It’s fascinating to watch people go, “Nuh-uh! China doesn’t do any of that!”

      I learned a dozen countries are all in on a conspiracy theory in which they pretended China had operated overseas police stations in their respective countries. Fake news!

      It’s not about the suicide nets as I understand the post…, but your answer would be fitting to the poster.

      The removal of such talking points is strange, especially because similar points are not removed when critical of Western stuff…

      That shouts propaganda

      Edit: I just realized, that’s the Meme sub,… political discussions there (critical of the CCP, even when the meme itself is political, get banned)

    Does anyone know what rule 4 is? I was banned from an ml community for that very rule a couple of days ago but have not made a comment anywhere on Lemmy for 9 months.

    My current guess - I upvoted/downvoted the wrong person as that’s about all I do on Lemmy.

      i forgot but you didn’t actually break that rule, probably….
      something i’ve learned from talking to real life leftists is: all very left online spaces, and i mean all, have been completely fucked over by shills.
      often just completely controlled by them.
      i just got permabanned from lost generation on reddit for absolutely not breaking the rules… they cited a rule, i asked how, then they just muted me from messaging the mods with a message just listing the rules, all of which i agree with….
      it sucks but it’s been this way a very long time….
      basically just cointelpro continuing.
      my guess is you were too genuine and reasonable, so they fuck with you to make you think this is what the left is like, then hopefully you’ll give up and become a capitalist.

      in my experience, they’re a lot worse….
      stuff that would get a comment removed or a note from the mod to chill just gets you an instant permaban here…
      and they’ll ban you for the dumbest shit too… simply discussing china’s human rights abuses that are well documented and publicized is “racism against chinese people” or some dumb shit….
      luckily it’s just the hard hard leftists… the places that are all shills anyway (like he-x-b34r)
      (i just spelled that dumb so it’s harder to search).

    Just block those instances. My weirdest and most disgusting experiences ever on Lemmy were on instances like that one.

          Well, that apple and foxcon are allowed to harass people until they kill themself is an issue of the state they are doing it in. If China would care about its people it would not allow companies to treat them like they do.

          OP is writing, that no hard questions were asked, like all the questions China wants the world to forget about.

              But China encourages those foreign companies (including german VW for example) to produce in China and encourage them to exploit Chinese workers. I see the problem at China not protecting their people but sell them off to big companies.

              And that is what some call communism… 🤦🏻

    Lol, I got a similar removal and ban (rule 1, 2*) the other day for replying to someone who mentioned credit ratings as a counterpoint to the attempts to discredit the existence of “social credits” (or whatever actual system exists in China, and it does exist, to keep tabs on their population):

    This right here.

    And the point is that an average American barely knows how those work, or exactly what information the government and or private financial and other companies collect about them (it’s a lot) or how much it impacts their daily lives (deeply), in the same way the average Chinese person barely knows just how much surveillance their government is doing on them (it’s a lot) or how much it impacts their daily lives (deeply).

    This post is such tankie bullshit.

    Pretending like only one government does (internal and external) propaganda, or only one government is oppressing and lying to its own people (not to mention people in other countries), or that the average person in any country know, or is willing to admit to themselves, never mind others, and especially never mind people from a country you’ve been propagandised against from birth, the flaws of their own government is not only laughable, and hypocritical, but also massively counterproductive.

    *as you can see, the ban is really for calling OP “tankie bullshit” and *gasp* pointing out that China is bad in the same ways America is bad. Such fragile egos lmfao

    ITT: liberals that cannot handle their own reality crashing down around them as they struggle with the choice between acknowledging their entire life has been a waste, or that the leftists were correct again, as history proves over and over

    Or it’s not that deep and y’all are just fascists

        Spreading racist arguments doesn’t help either. Many of the above statements are proven CIA propaganda. Not all but many. I thought lemmy was supposed to have critical thinking? It’s sad to just attack.

          “Proven CIA propaganda” proven… how? Where? Seriously, we’re all genuinely eager for any evidence that these horrifyingly evil crimes against humanity are just the CIA successfully waging a propaganda war instead of… you know, what they usually do. Fuck around incompetently, fail completely, then take credit for any shit that happens so people think they’re actually these great masterminds.

    Tankie is a lazy political slur so your are engaging in bad faith.
