Absolutely nothing happened June 1989
  • I am not deflecting, I am trying to understand what you think I am denying.

    Everything I've said happened, protesters lynching police and police gunning down protesters in the streets surrounding the square, is reflected in the wikipedia article, the only thing that I've denied, that masses of unarmed students were gunned down and run over by tanks in the square, is proven false in the tankman video, which I linked.

    Wait I also denied that China claims nothing happened at Tienanmen square, that's also proven false by the official Chinese account of what happened in the Wikipedia article.

  • And the one where the admins took the vote, then ignored it and did the opposite of what the community asked.

    That never happened. All votes are pretty easy to search if you feel like it.

    I don't know about any of the other things you're talking about, other than a bunch of users getting purged during the first year or so for being transphobes or western chauvinists or whatever.

  • Why are peole hating on .world?
  • By supporting Israel, you are not supporting Jews. Israel, being a settler colonial ethnostate whose national project requires the conquest and ethnic cleansing of territory, cannot be a safe place for Jewish people.

    Associating Jewish people with the genocidal actions of Israel is antisemitic as fuck.

  • Craziest part is when they horseshoe so hard that you have ‘communists’ arguing that LGBTQ are degenerate vermin

    That's an instaban from hb, grad, and .ml, did you report that post?

  • Trump rejects Fox News invite to debate Harris in late October
  • Not necessarily, if instead of taking his talking points from freaks like Laura Loomer, he focused on associating Kamala with the unpopular policies of the democratic party (especially the ones Trump agrees with), he could hurt her numbers.

    For each republican policy the democrats adopted chasing "moderate republicans", Trump can go "Kamala agrees shutting down the border and deporting all the brown people is a good thing. Who do you trust more to do it, America?", apply that logic to dems' "tough on crime" rhetoric, their foreign policy, their trade war with China, etc.

  • The implication of what they're saying is that the Chinese government's actions generally represent the will of the Chinese people so you can't just separate them like you can with America.

  • I'd examine why you think that's how China works, but we're at conspiracy-theory level nonsense where you'll just keep making up shit to justify your original position.

    Instead lets stay on solid ground: What policies or actions has Xi Jinping taken that you feel hurt his popularity? (Or would have, if everyone in China wasn't afraid to say so for fear of getting disappeared)

  • Well he's incredibly popular, so probably quite long unless he starts fucking up or gets coup'd by capitalists in the party ala Yeltsin.

    Unlike Hu Jintao's path, he isn't struggling to manage the contradictions between the interests of the national bourgeoisie against those of the working class.

  • The people who think .world is socialist also think socialism is when the government does things and that social democracy is a type of socialism and not a type of liberalism.

    This is especially evident the way they get whipped into a froth any time actually existing (and former) socialist countries get brought up.

  • It's what I learned in highschool and I see it repeated every time this discussion comes up, that there were a bunch of peaceful protesters inside the square, and tanks came over, machine gunned them, then ran the bodies over.

    There's a huge difference between protesters lynching some cops and other cops responding with indiscriminate murder and the military murdering everyone because they dared protest.

  • Kamala pledges to pass border bill

    A complete transcript of the vice president's speech on July 30, 2004 in Atlanta

    What Kamala Harris's New Campaign Sounds Like

    The bill in question is the one Biden tried to pass, but was blocked by republicans after Trump called it a bad bill, despite containing only things the republicans want.

    It would enable the president to shut down the border and gives billions to ICE, CPB, US Marshals, etc to increase detention capacity, train additional personnel, etc. It also gave billions to Israel and Ukraine.

    Kamala gonna have the immigrant vote locked up.

    Democrats resubmit border shutdown bill
    web.archive.org Senate to Vote Again on Border Deal as Democrats Seek Political Edge

    The bipartisan border enforcement compromise, blocked by Republicans in February, is all but certain to be thwarted again. Democrats aim to tag the G.O.P. as the culprit in its failure.

    >Among other changes to immigration law, the measure would make it more difficult to gain asylum in the United States and increase detentions and deportations of those crossing into the country without authorization. It would also effectively close the border altogether if the average number of migrants encountered by immigration officials exceeded a certain threshold — an average of 5,000 over the course of a week or 8,500 on any given day. The bill also would give the president power to close the border unilaterally if migrant encounters reach an average of 4,000 per day over a week.
