100%. Not just controversial but childish. It’s completely poetic karma that they’ve become a minority in their own network. Repeating the same patterns that got them exiled elsewhere. Basically doing it all again. Having learned nothing.

Yep, literally 🌍👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

They hate everyone and everything they perceive as not being them. And many secretly hate themselves as well. There is very little other nuance.

And when those too are full. They will move to their final solution.

Look at out this way. Either they are desperate. Or were significant enough to bother spamming?

We have another three and a half years of this 4 year Administration. All the guardrails are already failing currently. And that will only get worse. We will be lucky to even have elections again. And even if we do, Democrats haven’t even acknowledged the actual problems or made any effort to address them. More than willing to repeat them all again.

I won’t say it can’t happen. But I’ve seen nothing indicating that it will happen. Or anything that should give anyone hope that it will happen.

The problem is, China in some instances is actually improving. The US is only devolving. We are now seriously adopting the worst of the worst of China’s social policies in many ways. With none of the tiny positive things.

Don’t get me wrong I will fight vanguards until my dying breath. Whether they are leninist or fascist. But I can also acknowledge The Accidental positive things that one might bring over the other.

They’ve literally spedrun nearly 150 years of industrialization that the other parts of the world went through in just about 50. They seriously improved the quality of life for many people over there even though they are also the biggest threat to their people. That’s all going to change soon. Now that they’ve largely caught up to everyone else.

But you can’t say that for the United States. For a long time they’ve only enriched themselves and no one else. As everyone else has suffered.

Sadly only left. None from there right. If they started detaining their own things might actually change.

Literally, their disqualifications are qualifications to an asshole.

Aaaah FairPoint I made a bad assumption. I should know better than that LOL. (Edit : this post is on world on Lemmy.world. only Lemmy.ml from the triad can interact ATM. So you all actually do get a small reprieve)

They did not Federate at all for a long time. Until they did. And that’s when a lot of the issues started to occur. When they tried to enforce their Echo chamber outside the echo chamber. Discovering they were no longer the big fish, their ponds now dwarfed.

Since then a lot of ML have largely pulled back to their safe spaces. At least from our side of things. Still silent down voting, and about 5-6 recognizable names consistently offering detached/unhinged takes from the domains not blocked.

Lemmy.ml and programming.dev likely have the instance blocked due to its history with right-wing trolls. World does not. Therefore it works here. Lemmy ml doesn’t like the competition. Programming.dev doesn’t like the drama

Many. They are considered a spiritual successor to the right-wing troll instance of explodingheads.com. just consider for a moment. Which a group of people think causing chaos is hilarious?

You won’t see any from that domain as it is defederated. But we should see several soon from ml domains and a few other domains. Telling us how he deserved to be jailed for advocating for democracy against the vanguard. Which is democracy incarnate. You can choose from them them or them after all.

That or they will attack the messenger, claiming that the events never happened. Because they don’t like the messenger. That they were somehow a western CIA plant Etc.

Who’s we? I’m calling both out.

Agreed.

#piratepotter don’t let a dime go to Rowling or those trying to benefit from her.

Yep. And their action doesn’t justify or excuse China’s or vice versa. It’s bad regardless who’s doing it.

You and I often disagree. But not today. Well said.

And that’s exactly why No One Believes you. Or respects you. There are Chinese people calling this out plenty. It’s not some Western psyop. Or anything remotely like privileged, Western, campists, vanguard cosplayers pretend it is.

I’d have a tiny modicum of respect for leninists if they could ever admit fault. But instead, every time, somehow it’s always the west that shit their pants while they were wearing them. What a joke.

Again I know people directly impacted by this. And don’t appreciate your non sequiturs. Yes I’m sure anyone could go there and see what the government wants them to see. However it is undisputed, and well-known. That China opresses anyone they disagree with. Much like the Us government is doing. They both regularly disappear, jail, and harass advocates for democracy, or those who go against the unanswerable leadership.
