Really? You don’t see how “poor unarmed tanks killed by violent protesters and their terrifying grocery bags” falsely implies the tanks acted violently?

What were you trying to say by that sentence then? Just a meaningless remark?

Strangely, I’m not surprised at all that a LW user can’t read

Here’s an archive link lmao

Nelson Mandela bombed railways, was in South Africa’s communist party, worked with Cuba’s communist government, and sabotaged the South African government to overthrow apartheid.

If he did any of that right now, liberals would be calling him a “tankie”. And they did indeed insult him back then when he did so. It’s always after the fact that liberals admit these people were in the right.

They banned !vegan@lemmy.world’s mods too recently (they made a post about it), and they still haven’t unblocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

No leftist should be on .world lmao. The admins are all shitlibs

Hexbear doesn’t have downvotes lol

Liberals and other right-wingers not interacting in good faith do deserve to be called “dipshits” or whatever, and that instance doesn’t allow using bigoted words.

And that difference being that they’re not moderated much at all, which results in the aforementioned hate groups taking over.

It’s literally the opposite of those unmoderated sites, what the fuck are you talking about?

That instance is very strict about quickly removing and banning any transphobes, pro-capitalists, nazis etc. Take a look through their modlog.

I don’t have kids, not very good with them as you can see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was like OP though when I was 17 too, so coming back a bit older might work after reading through all the great resources provided in these comments

The irony of complaining about “disinformation” while spamming disinformation yourself lmao

Don’t worry, China isn’t capitalist like the US. Their economic numbers actually reflect improving living conditions.

You’re telling me that investing in the real economy instead of an overinflated real estate sector (that shouldn’t be for speculation in the first place anyway) actually works? Who could’ve seen this coming :0

You mean the country that the US killed 20% of the population and destroyed all infrastructure of? Then proceeded to sanction to hell because it dared to not be capitalist and allow the US’s capitalist class to extract from it?

Every day the US regime — the most warmongering nation in the world that’s currently committing a genocide in Palestine right now — survives is a crime against humanity. What has the DPRK done other than trying to survive under the brutal US sanctions that does nothing but harm its working class population?

“What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.”

The GDR called western govs’ habit of pinkwashing their imperialism — only possible because non-imperial core countries are the victims of colonialism are thus less economically stable, which is generally correlated with LGBT rights — the “political misuse of homosexuals” and had started improving LGBT rights and protections in the 80s.

If the Soviet bloc wasn’t overthrown afterwards, I’m sure the rest of the Soviet states would’ve followed suit. Probably part of why Cuba did so too.

The USSR would’ve simply directly funded and/or militarily supported Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. And they did do so with with the PFLP until the USSR was overthrown.

Though ig two superpowers militarily supporting opposide sides has the risk of just turning the place into a warzone like what happened with Afghanistan.

But what about the poor billionaires 😢

Cuz words like that are usually used for countries, while “israel” is just a western colony in Palestine.

cannot be equated with terrorism

The only terrorists here are the “israeli” militants.

Ukraine… Russia isn’t socialist anymore you know? Gorbachev ended that back in 1991 with the help of his western allies, against the wishes of the population, over 90% of which voted for the USSR to remain.

Still, this current war started in 2014 with the CIA-backed fascist coup and the subsequent killing of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, like in Donbas and Crimea, for resisting the coup gov.

This was the results of the 2010 elections for example.

Eastern Ukrainians don’t support the current gov, and even welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022.

And as for China, the US and its allies are the only ones accusing them of mishandling the ETIM in Xinjiang. Muslim countries and the Global South approve of China’s policies.

35+ mostly muslim UN states have approved of how China handled this after sending delegates and diplomats to Xinjiang:

…separatism and religious extremism has caused enormous damage to people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, which has seriously infringed upon human rights, including right to life, health and development. Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and deradicalization measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers. Now safety and security has returned to Xinjiang and the fundamental human rights of people of all ethnic groups there are safeguarded. The past three consecutive years has seen not a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang and people there enjoy a stronger sense of happiness, fulfillment and security. We note with appreciation that human rights are respected and protected in China in the process of counter-terrorism and deradicalization.

We appreciate China’s commitment to openness and transparency. China has invited a number of diplomats, international organizations officials and journalist to Xinjiang to witness the progress of the human rights cause and the outcomes of counter-terrorism and deradicalization there. What they saw and heard in Xinjiang completely contradicted what was reported in the media. We call on relevant countries to refrain from employing unfounded charges against China based on unconfirmed information before they visit Xinjiang.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation approve of China’s treatment of its Muslim population.

20. Welcomes the outcomes of the visit conducted by the General Secretariat’s delegation upon invitation from the People’s Republic of China; commends the efforts of the People’s Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens; and looks forward to further cooperation between the OIC and the People’s Republic of China.

Unlike other countries, China has mostly responded to ETIM’s attacks by building vocational training centers and integrating the region better into the rest of China’s economy, that is to say they are tackling the material reasons for why someone would have to resort to violence in the first place. And it has been successful, hence the Global South countries approving of it.

You can visit Xinjiang and see it for yourself btw since covid restrictions are gone now, and there’s alot of yt videos doing just that.
