Luigi's Manifesto
Luigi's Manifesto
Read the manifesto the media refused to publish
“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”
Post got removed in .world for not being a "news source" even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.
You're viewing a single thread.
Just remember which instance let you read this, and which one wouldn't let you.
.ml doesnt need to host a bi monthly feud posts like .world does. Their moderator actions are all the advertisements we need. Make an account and export your settings today! Lemmy.ml
I don't wanna get banned for saying China does bad things too lol
As long as you don't blindly repeat things from the US state dept without any critical thoughts you're fine. Look into things before you say them, China has plenty of issues, pick a real one.
China is perpetuating genocide against their uyghur muslim population.
Edit: lmao, fuckin gottem.
lemmy.world is perpetuating a genocide against our braincell population
A genocide which was proven to be false by UN, Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the World Bank. All of which found no issues in the region. In 2019 July, the 41st session of the UN Human Rights Council met and voted on two opposing letters regarding Xinjiang. 50 countries voted in favor of China's policies and 22 voted against.
On 2019 October 29, at the 74th session of the UN General Assembly, 24 countries and the EU criticized China and 57 countries supported China
A great wiki piece, though obviously biased(as any piece of information is, no matter how much they say ):https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Xinjiang_Vocational_Education_and_Training_Centers
Yeah that's the unsupported US state dept propaganda I was mainly talking about.
We know what genocide in the 21st century under an authoritarian regime that has complete and total control over the flow of information looks like, thanks to Israel. The Palestinian genocide is the most well documented genocide in history, despite Israel entirely controlling the access to technology, press, and internet, with a tighter grip than China.
Uighurs aren't under going a genocide. You can visit Xinjiang right now, without a tour guide. You can bring whatever tech you want and post whatever you want.
Was China harsh in their initial crackdown of allegedly radicalized elements among the poverty stricken population 20 years ago when 9/11 was still fresh in everyone's minds and the US government was invading a half dozen countries causing terror groups to flee to other countries and start cells there? Sure.
But fewer people of uighur descent were killed or imprisoned over the last 50 years in China, per capita or by total number, than black people were by the us last year.
If that's the basis for genocide, then boyo every country on the planet has committed genocide and is committing genocide.
But fewer people of uighur descent were killed or imprisoned over the last 50 years in China, per capita or by total number, than black people were by the us last year.
Well, yeah, because the US has been waging a genocide since its founding.
Intentionally misdefining the word genocide doesnt make you right tho
What part of uighur culture was erased, exactly, by funding schools, arresting foreign violent religious extremists, and building affordable housing?
Are you saying uighurs are all violent, uneducated, homeless people and should remain that way due to their culture?
Just a reminder before you do the next state dept line, there are more mosques in every major Chinese city than there are in the state of New York.
With a pic of winnie the pooh himself in every one.
You know you can go to China yourself and verify that's false.
No thanks, i dont go to countries that dont allow gay marriage. Thats regressive as fuck. I wouldnt feel safe to be myself there.
I'm on .ml and I've said plenty of critical stuff against China, the mods are chill and in general it's been a really solid community.
That being said, I'm a hardcore leftist, so even though as an anarchist, I am strongly at odds with many statist solutions, I agree with the vast majority of leftist underlying critiques of sociopolitical issues.
You won't get banned from ML for that. You will get banned from .world for saying China does good things though
Was banned for exactly that from .ml way before most were even on it. Remember Prismo, yeah you don't. .ml admins are single-handedly responsible for why Lemmy adoption is so poor.
Btw, Lemmy logs are transparent so it wouldn't even take that long to prove you wrong but I'm not wasting my time here on this mess. Do it yourself if you truly want to know or chose to live in your own bubble of ignorance.
Lemmy logs being public is how I know you're wrong: because everytime someone says they were banned just for saying something bad about China I can check and see they actually posting outrageous racism and misinformation
is that what this guy did? I didn't know logs were public. Is there an efficient way to search them?
IME for most circumstances where you want it, this is the easiest way, at least on desktop. There's a similar choice behind the three dots menu of posts, also.
Hey thanks. Turns out I'm actually banned from at least one community. They think I'm a bot. Beep boop.
EDIT: Actually, I think that must have been lifted. I commented there earlier today and the post has upvotes so I assume people can see it. Is there any way to be notified when both banning and subsequent unbanning happens? The Modlog doesn't mention the unbanning part of the equation.
There might be a way to be notified, I don't know. I was temp banned when I first joined and I only knew it because I looked at the modlog after wondering why the reply button didn't do anything.
Orange button in the community sidebar, next to the list of mods
I mean .world 100% sucks lol, and people should definitely move off it, but I'd also like people to move off .ml or any other general purpose instance since centralization on any one instance can cause issues imo. I'm considering switching off of .ee for the same reason. I think it makes more sense to have specific instances for specific things, so that the admins of one instance can have more domain specific knowledge ideally.
.world specifically does seem like they can't go more than a few weeks without some kind of drama though lol.
The .ml/tankie witch hunts on .world are what got me to jump. It's just exhausting.
.ml sucks too. When I'll move, it'll be some super niche instance or self hosted.
