I checked that thread, perhaps they mean “liberal” is a slur? /s

Wow, I see you following my posts. That’s a bit creepy. But I’ll play.

Edit: Liberal is a derogatory term used by anti-capitalist and pro authoritarian socialist/communist supporters to other the pro capitalist or pro democracy group and create an “outgroup”. It is comparable to tankie in its use.

Since when is calling out a particular nation’s intelligence apparatus racism? In fact I criticised the American government in the paragraph previously. You’ve cut out context to make your actions seem a little more reasonable. Here’s that context:

Many of these same allegations can be levied at governments such as the Americans; but to differing proportions and often historical rather than modern contexted. However, rather than one being preferred, it is my opinion that any immoral and unethical system of government does not deserve the support of the people. The fact that you’re trying to garner support for just another form of tyranny is at the least concerning and at the most likely duplicitous and an attempt at manipulation from said government itself.

I see many users on lemmy.ml doing exactly this all the time, but in reverse and being more direct in their description. Usually some kind of combination of “western imperialist country’s liberal intelligence”.

It is not by any measure racism. It’s criticism of a form of government.

Which leads me to my next question: why is it a forbidden topic to talk about the activities of a very powerful and despotic government like the CCP, but in the same breath permitted to fling similar criticism at other countries? I had a user assume I was American in that thread and criticise me based upon it. Ironically I am not. Why was this not also moderated?

Why was I banned for that criticism, and yet the user that called me a shithead (a direct slur) was not?

The more you analyse the actions of any moderator or most lemmy.ml users, the more their hypocracy becomes apparent.

Free speech for me, but not for thee.

Most of my post was a scientific discussion on the loss of the Tibetan language, and proved through academic pieces of research the misinformation/propaganda present in the OP’s infographic.

I think it is much more likely given the apparent hypocracy and duplicity evident in your actions as moderator and my experience with lemmy.ml as a whole, and the experience of the users in this thread which are so numerous, that this was a deliberate burying of that information.

But that’s just my opinion, I have no proof and can’t accept any from you or your team because of the above bad faith that has already been made apparent.

By the way, liberal is a slur used in the same manner as tankie, but by authoritarian communists/socialists. I’m surprised as a moderator of lemmy.ml you’re unaware of this fact.

For clarity’s sake, here’s that original post so that all those that read this can have full context:

Tubular was right, then. You do follow around and harass people.

And fawning over a billionaire who wanted to make even more money is not?

Since when do we feel sympathy for billionaires like Jack Ma? Why are people angry that the CCP did the right thing? America should had done the same with Elon Musk when he did the Sieg Heil in national TV, because he not only embarrassed the entire country, he put absolutely every single American in danger now, because foreign people like me now want to see the USA be removed from the global map because they pretty much screamed to the world that they are ok with a literal Nazi having that much power and influence over you. They should have kidnapped him and “reeducated” him, but no, instead, Elon is now reeducating millions of young men through Twitter. Turning them into violent toxic bigots. He is guiding them toward their graves; and here you are, still talking shit about China the same way Trump or Lindsey Graham or most MAGA politicians do. What the fuck? At least China is not being ran by a pedophile, and they don’t have anything remotely close to a cult like MAGA. I haven’t had a single negative interaction with the Chinese people I have replied to online; they are as polite as the Japanese, but a lot less xenophobic and elitist. With Japanese people or South Koreans, once they find out I am a Mexican, some of them start treating me like I am inferior, for some reason, they say things only an American hog would. Same with South Koreans, they have some Western influence on them, and it sucks. Most of the negative interactions I have had with Chinese is always over technical/academic stuff, like being bad in a videogame, or getting a line of code wrong, they are more harsh there, but rarely racism or identity attacks.

Jack Ma wasn’t even reeducated, he was just forced into silence because he challenged the CCP by pretty much saying “your banks are clueless, your regulators are old men, and my technology is the future” during that Shanghai Finance Summit, whatever it was. I remember Jack Ma sharing some weird ideas with Elon Musk years ago, I won’t say they are the same, but imagine if Elon Musk did something like that, implying he should become the head of the future. You’d want that? Wouldn’t you wish your government stopped him too? Or what? Do you trust Elon Musk? Do you love him? Do you think he’s sexy every time he speaks like a shy kid who just shat his pants?

It’s so weird that that’s the only thing leftists and republicans agree with with the same passion: Hating China. It used to be Russia too, but it only took a few weeks to change that. Don’t you find that weird?

I wonder how will Americans ever deal with the increasing amount of racists and MAGAs that are breeding in their country without ever resorting to authoritative policies that will make them look worse than China. I want to believe a strong reason China is the way it is is because of the Opioid Crisis caused by the UK and India, and the genocide caused by Japan around 1930. The way people fawn over Japan but hate China makes that propagandized bias more obvious. And I have my own criticisms about China, I wouldn’t want to live there, I still prefer Mexico, but god damn, when compared to the USA, I prefer China. Your marvel movies, TV shows and videogames like Fallout always depicted the Chinese and Russians as absolute evils, as malicious, always spying or planning something big in their heads to destroy you for the sake of it, for fun or money or power, I don’t know, but that shit is still ingrained in you.

Btw, “just move to X country” shall never be a reply, ever. Everyone should know by now that, thanks to capitalism and the Jeffrey Epstein Class, about 80% of the entire world cannot afford to do something like that. It’s always the cheapest and most ridiculous answer I see online, to avoid facing the fact that some governments are objectively better, less evil than others, even if they all suck.

Lots of conspiracy theories about him. From what I’ve read he just ended up going on the down low and switched to focusing on being a college professor. Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/19/tech/jack-ma-teaching-japan-university-of-tokyo-intl-hnk

Fuck. What an unlikable piece of shit transphobe.

That guy gets banned a lot.

By “trustworthiness” do you mean continuing to try to vote our way into policy which benefits the American people? Because that hasn’t worked in 40+ years.

Yeah I’ll take a “dictatorship” like China if it means we get socialized Healthcare, 25,000 miles of high speed rail, affordable housing and nationalization of corporations who have received billions if not trillions in subsidies. American “democracy” certainly hasn’t delivered on any of that.

I could just as easily say “president is untrustworthy by nature” or “king”, “prime minister”, “dictator”, “state”, “soldier”, “police”, ”judge” etc. Dictatorship doesn’t automatically equal “authoritarian tankie evil communism everyone starves”

Dictatorship by definition means the person or party that dictates. A judge is not authoritarian for providing someone a fair trial regardless of how harsh or fair they are, but they are still dictating a system or an action. So when you hear “dictatorship of the proletariat”, it literally means you and everyone else controls the law. It doesn’t mean you get to decide everything it means that democracy actually involves every single person that participates instead of being “dictated” by money.

Every country expresses authority in some way, wether it’s USA something like Bay of Pigs, UK with their actions in India and Africa, USSR defeating Nazi armies and liberating concentration camps sometimes WITH the us and British. Technically Warsaw ghetto uprising was “authoritarian” and it was a good thing that they expressed authority on the Nazi regime.

Just trying to provide some clarity, a lot of people in the US truly have no idea how evil our government is and what they do overseas to help maintain your lifestyle, and it barely does a good job of maintaining our lifestyle. If anything socialist policies are always provably better at building society, and even the bare minimum in the US are people like Mamdani or Walz that prove even if you enact quasi-leftist policies like healthcare you’re an evil communist who likes dictatorship. You’re falling for it but you don’t have to, if you believe in people like AOC and other “progressive” dems like Ilhan Omar in theory you should be unlearning these things you’ve been taught by the right wing American media.

You think Linus Torvalds is untrustworthy?
