Yes I have seen cowpee, and others, disregard any information from any western organization, government, university, etc. Then, when someone did the same with information coming from china, cow said they were clearly to immature to have a rational, good faith, argument.
Western media is just propaganda, doesn't mean everything they say is wrong. Same goes for the media branches of the CCP.
- defederation is long overdue
- Cowbee is weird
  
  I had them tagged as a tankie apologist for the longest time because they never overtly praised Mao or Stalin or anything, but I've come to realize their tone shifts dramatically between ml and world. I've since updated the tag to "stealth tankie."
- This is what so many people don’t get. Propaganda doesn’t mean it’s untrue. In fact the best propaganda usually isn’t.
  So pointing out something is propaganda is not a valid reason to dismiss inconvenient information, you need to actually investigate and analyze what is going on.
- Do you mean cowbee?
Must be nice to have such a simple view of the world.
I found it funny, 'cause you can just publish the information without linking the jorno. I've done it twice now.
I can do it a 3rd time, for @vga@sopuli.xyz ’s sake, if need be.
But don't make it a habit out of me.
Anyone banning for propaganda just has no valid points on the relevant platform, prove me wrong.
For example, holocaust denial, holodomor denial or Armenian genocide denial could easily be rebuked by linking a post with comprehensive independent sources verifying such atrocities instead of stating "imperialist propaganda". But they can't prove, so its the banhammer and that's it.
Just defederate and allow signups with Russian/CCP political membership verification and fuck off. If you can't handle discussion without silencing you are the dictofile not the others. Besides, it seems they can't convince others for their cause with good reasoning, because any criticism is silenced. Lazy activist can only resort to physical violence and mental silencing.
