I criticized the CCP on lemmy.ml and got called racist and got banned lmao

Edit: thank you for the link, Lazycog@sopuli.xyz!

https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2602275

I stand by every single comment that's been removed from this platform. Some of them were removed for good reason, one of them was a brain fart that I shouldn't have posted in the first place, but I'm happy to have y'all investigate my moderation history

ETA: If you read this, and then replied to a comment that's already been removed from a community I'm banned from, you're an idiot. I literally can't interact with you. Why not reply to this comment?

The Winnie the Pooh stuff is just completely made up by Western propaganda. Also, how hard is "yellow face is racist", when saying an Asian looks like a cartoon with yellow skin?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

People don't say Xi Jinping looks like Winnie the Pooh because Pooh is yellow, silly. They say it because he kinda looks like Winnie the Pooh

Thanks for posting that, I had no idea. Yikes. Time to find a new instance.

China pretending to be egalitarian is like Maga pretending to be pro-freedom.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 45 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've been called a racist, a homophobe (???) and worst of all a liberal and a fascist (same thing apparently /s) all because I insisted that China isn't worth simping for.

What I hate most about tankies is that they are the only true leftists and anybody who disagrees with them is just a poser and a liberal. Especially anarchists.

For clarity, the thread you are talking about was filled with reasonable discussion that you doubled down on ignoring. The biggest thing people took issue with is your insistence on having a negative opinion towards something you in the same breath admitted you lacked real knowledge of how the PRC works. There's a difference between having an opinion based on strong investigation, and one made by vibes, something pointed out repeatedly to you.

If somebody so desperately wants me to support the second most powerful empire in the world the burden of proof is on them, not on me.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The thing I hate about tankies is the same thing I hate about fascists, every other living thing on earth shares a common ancestor with them. I propose we exile them from the evolutionary tree, return them to the dirt they truly are so that they may be of some use to all living creatures.

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago

Tankies essentially have more in common with other fascists than they do other leftists.

I once joined a stalinist discord. 3 weeks later it was a community of trans-Hitlerites who required an ID to join.

Is it 100% accurate to write communism off as fascism hiding under leftist wool? No, not 100% accurate, but it sure saves a hell of a lot of time.

Banned starman2112 @sh.itjust.works from the community 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone reason: Weirdo who defends genocide, because only young people are aginast it

Thanks for the link and the laugh! 😂

It's amusing to see the average user criticizing .ml while ignoring the bad behavior of others. LMAO!

Weirdo, why im not surprised at all 😂

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Hey, uhm, I know you're gonna react negatively to this, but could you answer me one simple yes or no question?

Are you pro-Russian?

[–] TGhost@lemm.ee 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

And I'm of course against Russia but against Israel too you see

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

We have so much in common! I wish we had elected someone who wouldn't simultaneously give Ukraine over to Russia, and ensure the total annihilation of the Palestinian people, and remove all access to gender affirming care for trans people in the country I live in.

But I guess the fact that I thought we should vote for the person who would kill fewer people means I support genocide, at least according to the 196 mod team

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Explicitly mentioning it, despite already saying you support Ukraine. I like it. Thanks.

[–] TGhost@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I should not explain my opinions/positions regarding this,
As a trans person, i cant be on the putin's side you see ;)

But, i hate to see things like "kill the russians" etc,
Do we accept "kill jews/israelien" ? No, and in good reason,
Why should we accept then the "kill all russians" etc ?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well, there's a lot of Mexicans in the US who voted for Trump. There's even a meme regarding people voting for leopards eating their faces, so you know, you can't trust people to be reasonable always.

Who has said "kill all Russians"? Who has said "kill all jews"? (Aside from Hitler and his ilk)

I think it would be disingenuous to pretend like the majority of people are for massacring Israelis or Russians, when they're clearly advocating for stopping the genocide in Gaza and Russia backing off from their attack on Ukraine. They broke international laws. Both of those parties, that is. That's just... not on. Being against those actions and the people who perpetrated them doesn't mean you're advocating for "an eye for an eye" (a genocide for a genocide).

Well, there’s a lot of Mexicans in the US who voted for Trump. There’s even a meme regarding people voting for leopards eating their faces, so you know, you can’t trust people to be reasonable always

Who has said “kill all Russians”? ~~Who has said “kill all jews”? (Aside from Hitler and his ilk)~~

I agree that the negative impacts of capitalism are significant, which may explain why some Mexican and Black voters support Trump. This phenomenon is perplexing to me, and I struggle to understand it.

Regarding hate speech, I want to address the troubling comments I've seen on platforms like Lemmy, where users have made statements such as "Time to kill more Russians." This kind of rhetoric should not be tolerated, just as we do not accept antisemitism. It is essential to uphold a standard that rejects all forms of hate.

The problem is that these harmful comments often receive upvotes, which can mislead and confuse members of the Lemmy community, including its administrators. I frequently observe this dynamic at play.

Concerning the cries regarding such instances (ML, HB, LM), I believe that if these individuals are coherent in their beliefs, they should also oppose bigotry and racism, which can sometimes be found in other communities, such as on LW, Sopuli, etc.

There is clearly a lack of moderation in many instances, and this needs to be addressed to foster a more inclusive and respectful environment.

[–] TGhost@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Nope,
I'm on the side of Ukrainian if you want to know 😑😐

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Good, good, just checking.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Haha I also like reason: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#1-attacks-on-users-or-groups doxing is not ok on lemmy.world

The thread is them saying they would punch nazis

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

That one was warranted. While I am in favor of doxxing nazis, I understand the legal imperative to nuke threads where nazis are getting doxxed

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like whataboutism. Stay on topic.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

They're very good at that. They've done the same elsewhere in this thread too, unsurprisingly.
