I lost a parent to antvaxx stuff. A drop of her blood is on the hands on of every free speech absolutist who pushes that garbage and creates space for the worst people possible.
Liberals be like: Yeah I love democracy.
The thing I love most about democracy is that I get zero choice or control over who represents me in government at all and I let them make decisions for me that hurt me. In fact I celebrate it when they make decisions that hurt me
Lemmy.ml get mad at people who don’t like the Democracy Party. We must all support Prime Minister Biden Robinette or else the Party of the Republic will win the next Voting.
They do actually allow protests. Western media was having a fucking field day earlier this year talking about how China had bowed to pressure from protests regarding their covid policy.
Jesus titty fucking H Christ…

What do you suppose the origin of that “feeling” is?
Did you know that Deng Xiaoping, the leader of China during the Tiananmen Square protests, resigned from all official positions shortly after the protests? I don’t recall Nixon doing anything similar over Kent State, however.
“the exception that proves the rule” doesn’t just mean any evidence against your point is actually evidence for your point. it means that something is only notable because it’s usually rare.
they also repealed the hong kong extradition law in response to those protests. Although admittedly once they fulfilled the demands of the protest and the protest continued they then cracked down more
You mean the revolt that happened after people burned to death in their own homes when the state locked them in? The revolt that state censors still tried to remove from the internet? The one police cracked down on?
Why do you feel the need to lie?
dragged to the ground in handcuffs, while he was seen saying in another video: “Call the consulate now.”
Released a few hours later in perfect health btw.
MY RIGHTS!!! MY SOVEREIGN RIGHTS!!!
yes the protests against government policy that caused the government to change the policy
During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.
China has protests against covid policy that saved millions of lives, the government listens to and adjusts policy accordingly
western chauvinist: omg look at this revolt, proof that China is ebil!! im such a smart redditor!
amerika has protests against the police killing people for being black, government responds by vilifying protestors and ramping up police violence
western chauvinist: they’re rioting! they’re destroying their cities! omg we need cops to put them in their place!
Yeah those protests. Have you read that article? A lot of, ifs, buts, maybes and mights.
“Revolt”. Fucking lol
The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
And like some teachers were cannibalized but that’s just par for the course at this point.
Not the same event. It’s rather like if someone was talking about the migration in response to the Homestead Act and you mention the Donner party as though it was part of that.
Not related to what you are responding to but just as an interesting symbolic link between the two things you mentioned, iirc the first people killed, butchered and eaten by the Donner party were their native scouts, afterwards mostly erased from the story in popular telling. Just as the homesteaders first ethnically cleansed the native Americans before hunger for more land turned them cannibalistically against each other
That is interesting! I didn’t know they had native guides, though I suppose of course they would and of course those guides were the first sacrificed by colonizers.
Is this trying to say people who support the most successful AES state and largest democracy in the world are not real marxists, but people who just believe western propoganda with rascist characteristics are the true marxists?
Also it’s CPC
The point is bullshit. But that’s not my problem with you. …
This is not a meme. If I knew how to report … or read the comm rules I would probably report you.
I wonder what happened to MLK and all the people who started the BLM protests in America which guarantees freedom of protest and speech. It really sucks that they all were either murdered or committed suicide and the police were never able to do anything about it.
Oh well, gotta let go and let god. Btw, did you hear that the evil Chinese Government sent someone who threw a firebomb to jail? Nasty stuff, glad I live somewhere civilized.
Any recommendations of instances that defederated from Hexbear?
there’s a cool website called myspace where you can chill with friends
I’m on lemmy.blahaj.zone
It’s a pretty chill place that’s super queer friendly and is defederated from Hexbear
We’re totally down for more awesome people over there, hell we’re home to the apartment of awesome that is 196.
yeah, check out chapo.chat
Pawb.social and Blaj are defederated if you want other instances are that are still mostly LGBT+, but liberal/anti-communist.
We just defeded from sh.ts.fullofnazis (aka shitjustworks). you might enjoy that place
TIL advocating for free speech and democracy is Nazism.
Have you tried reddit?
Go back to hexbear instead of forcing politics onto general communities on the non-political instance lemmy.ml
don’t they ever talk about anything else?
You forgot to post a meme
Hell yeah we love dictatorships of the proletariat
proletariat homies hate china
It really never gives you pause to argue identically to neoliberal slime, does it?
The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
time for the next attempt?
China has a 90%~ home ownership rate with 80% being mortgage free. 70% of millenials in China are home owners.
Workers, home-owners and people of the world, unite!
More people owning their own homes is good actually
Wonderful houses they got over there. Tofu dreg houses are the best!
You have never worked in construction here in the US have you? I am renting a modern house and the granite countertops are great but when it rains my electricity shorts out and frankly it is kinda terrifying.
It takes me twice as long as it should to do any work on the toilet in my place because the slumlord-ass bathroom i pay a billion dollars a month for is so narrow that I don’t have room to properly turn a wrench.
Anyway, the Maoist uprising against th
Shitty contractors happen. I’ve done remediation in affluent neighborhoods where the median home price was around 900k, almost every home was experiencing interior water damage in less than 5 years because the developer was looking at who had the cheapest bid and the stucco crews were paid by the square foot.
My dude, they showed city blocks of tofu dreg houses. That goes beyond “bad contractors”
Are NEW Chinese buildings falling down? Idk here’s a video from 5 years ago
love being a sponge brain-ed liberal who 1) just believes whatever YouTuber they like best and 2) doesn’t even have the cognitive power to realize a shitty home is better than no home. Even in their worst fantasies, the Chinese government still provides for its people to a better degree than any government in the west, where people literally die on the fucking streets
Anyway i look forward to the mental rollercoaster you go on in the next few years as China continues to establish its dominance over the west as you try to pretend that 1) those evil orientals couldn’t possibly build complex things like high speed rail or buildings that don’t fall apart and 2) you’re not an implicitly racist fuck for being prone to believing shit like that in the first place :^]
Did… Did you really just try to argue in favor of cardboard houses in danger of collapsing THREE years after they were built?
Do they?
…so these Hexbear folx have got a chip on their shoulder, huh?
From scanning through their comments, I’m guessing they don’t actually believe the shit they’re saying? Only because, if they did, I would think they would actually try to have a discussion with people instead of whatever firestorm is happening on this thread. I’m not up to date - is this a troll instance?
I think I don’t get it
