Holy shit theyve drunk the cool aid. There's articles about mainland students just exploding in college classes when bringing up Chinese topics. Or the video about the piano player being intimidated and wrongly accused of impropriety for making a video. The problem is when the authorities side with these bullies, or play it down.
Yeah. I just hope that doesn't mean we need to keep switching instances once one fills up with weirdos looking around because no one wants to join them in their poisoned forums any more. I'm pretty sure they will have alt accounts on multiple instances.
Now, bear in mind I'm acutely aware of the strengths of china, and the failings of the us, but when the 300lb gorilla is in your backyard eyeing your kids, you get involved with the gorilla, and keep and eye on what is happening in office politics and in the neighbours yard.
Yes. And not did I NOT slag the entire group as accused, it seems the only issue was that I was not parroting the hive speak. Instead of engaging in discourse like a mature adult, and 'expanding their world view', they and some other users are content to weild the ban hammer like an insecure child/ trumpist/ dictator. I believe in people's right to speak, even if I disagree with their message, which seems to include the very things we in SEA are concerned about.
Right. So racism is out in my case because I'm an effing Chinese, so it's just my wording of my disagreement with Chinese policy and propaganda. I consider the Chinese claim on the international waters of the scs plain propaganda and an imminent threat to the surrounding countries. I got no beef with you, friend.
The person replying to me was articulate and well worded, but I couldn't help thinking it's the same language putin would use to justify annexing Crimea (quote: it's more complicated that most people understand) and filling in with much nothingspeak and no sources. I'm so done with that instance now.
Sorry about that mate. I don't think Lemmy sucks or anything. But I just hope it's not going down reddits unfettered moderator powers and getting banned without recourse. Kinda feels like it may be headed there.
For those of you asking/ curious, the reason given was 'yellow peril'. Really? I guess my being asian and directly affected by the Chinese activities in the scs makes me somehow a threat to yellow people?
Mine as flagged 'yellow peril'. Now bear in mind I'm asian and have a direct interest in the article and my comment. Maybe the automod just removes reported posts. But really? Yellow peril? Wtf is that even?
The magas are gonna vote trump come hell or high water. The never trumpers should do the same. It's not everyone else's problem, and believing they have the numbers so I can sit it out is what got him in the office the first time.
