Does lemmy.world allow criticism of the CCP?
Apparently there's an issue with some instances banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments. Is lemmy.world a safe place to criticize governments?
You're viewing a single thread.
Well let’s find out: Free Ukraine! Fuck Russia. Fuck China!
fuck the orcs. fuck the CCCP. Winne the Pooh shouldn’t run a country
fuck the orcs
hate the government not the people am i right?
yea
why you calling them orcs then
Probably because they act inhumanely?
The rape and torture of combatants and civilians? The bombing of critical infrastructure to leave a scorched earth on retreat? The indiscriminate targeting of civilian evacuees? The theft of Ukranian children and taking them to Russia to brainwash them at best and put them into the sex trade as one of the worse options? The attempts and calls for genocide against another group of people?
Humans have a social contract that is more or less consistent across the globe. We are social animals endowed with empathy and we don't enjoy seeing others suffering. If you break this social contract, why would you be surprised that people treat you as though you were inhuman? Why are you bothering to turn this plight onto the Russians who are not currently being targeted by any of the above?
Friendly reminder that this method of turning the Russians into the victims of "russophobia" in any thread about Ukraine or Russias policies is russian troll posting 101. You should consider hard who you are currently coming to the defense of.
Nah. Fuck the people who supports the Russian aggression. Fuck the people who allow Russian soldiers to perform war crimes on a massive scale.
How they are behaving and advancing is like the orcs. Not the fun and widely crazy orks from GW, but the dirty bastard's from Lord of the rings movie
Fuck the orcs
It is even worse in America, they rape, torture and kill and come back home as heros.
"But what about America?!"
and then they make movies about how genociding elven children made them sad ala orcish sniper (2014)
it's the people that rape, torture, kill, it's the people who destroyed the dam and then shoot to rescuers.
So yeah, fuck the orcs.
What do you think the CCCP is?
lol i had the same question. did they make a typo and mean the CCP or was that Cyrillic for USSR?
Mao Zedong is objectively one of the worst people in all of human history, and his influence held China back for decades, and continues to harm it to this day.
You know, I agree that he shouldn't have collaborated with America's foreign policy following the sino-soviet split, but I don't think that even puts him as a major candidate in the running.
Edit: He also really should have given the sparrow thing a test run, and there are other criticisms to make, but these are still lesser than the original one. There was bad theory and bad practice in the Cultural Revolution, but overwhelmingly its biggest problem was endangering the revolution that Mao led to establish the PRC in the first place, something for which he deserves credit on account of poverty reduction, drastic increase in life expectancy, land-redistribution, etc. Oh yeah, and the whole "opposing Japanese and British colonialism" thing, since the KMT rolled over for that, but hopefully that goes without saying.
It seems like you've left out the part where multiple tens of millions of people died as a result of his policies.
Exterminating the sparrows, that was a pretty big oops.
Unfortunately beehaw users won't see your reply, friend. :(
Thank you for letting me know. I always forget about that because I can see their replies. In any case, I'm more worried about what the people on lemmy.world think, since Beehaw has basically become a purpose-built engine of sectarianism, so the content of those replies would be a foregone conclusion.
I'll try to remember to use my lemmy.ml account in the future for this.
Only if you really want them to read it. I appreciate it's important to talk to the general audience. :)
Sectarianism toward what ideology, out of curiosity? I couldn't wade through their endless text blobs enough to tell
Ha, fair question! They have plenty of people they dislike, but what I was trying to refer to was their opposition to what they call "tankies" and I call "People who believe that the US lies about its enemies, particularly its big geopolitical rivals." Specifically, while they are conversationally annoying about it, what really bugs me is their campaign to defederate and get others to defederate from spaces they deem "tankie-friendly". I think that really undermines the platform as a whole to pillarize things that way (i.e. closing things off into silos).
"Sectarianism" arguably isn't the right word for that (it has intra-ideology connotations), but I didn't think it was worth splitting hairs over.
Are you still with us now?
I think Winnie the Pooh got him.
Oh bother.
He found a window and pavement
