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

  • Looks like a porters/balloon chair.

  • 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.

  • If China were less opaque and oppressive about how they went about things. Perhaps there would be reason to believe them. I know specific people who have been ditectly impacted by this. Your indoctrination doesn't change that fact. It's bad when anyone does it. Not just china. But it's still bad when China does it.

  • It was wrong when the West did it, and it's wrong when China does it. And it's wrong that it's a fact that this statement is somehow controversial.

  • Ah, yes yes that old chestnut. Everyone else is the problem not you. People have legitimate problems with your instance and its administrators. Don't pretend for a moment that if server focused on a different authoritarian ideology opposed to yours was the host. That you wouldn't object either, despite the hypocrisy. You're on Lemmy.ml not Lemmy.org. At least the rest of us can be consistent in our stance.

  • If the instance is focused around defending and enabling our fascists. Then everyone should object the same. That it just exists in the US isn't the same thing and besides the point.

  • Yes. I mean I'm going to take them at their word. Making themselves look foolish doesn't have any direct benefit to them realistically here. And them adding their voice to the already existing chorus isn't a bad thing. But just how abjectly have we failed as a society. That our fourth estate, education system, Etc has allowed for this sort of thing. Deeply of course, the question was always rhetorical. Very very deeply.

  • What?! Just........ what!? They joined a fascist attack because they thought they could do some good enabling it?! I truly don't understand this thought process.

  • Everything here is just starting out and there's no problem with that. I wouldn't call myself an animator. But I have done some animations in the past through blender Etc. And develop some small game assets Etc. Which includes texturing/painting unwrapping Etc. I certainly wouldn't mind some content related more around all that. I know there are a lot of intricacies and techniques even just including blender to make professional looking animations Etc. I don't know if there's enough there to supply a whole community. But there is only one way to find out.

  • Propaganda only works till it meets reality. A lot of these places Democrats and others don't visibly go much. They feel left behind and forgotten. So even when the fascists that cause their problems pay them basic lip service. They latch on to it tightly.

    If someone actually went there and did more than empty lip service. They'd take notice. But the problem is, Democrats while not being devoid of useful ideas. Absolutely won't threaten to topple the status quo to do what would be necessary.

    So many places in Appalachia so isolated and devoid of functioning communities and governance. I wonder what would happen if groups funded coops and communes out there that actually helped the people. I bet plenty might take a liking to it.

  • But it is the Mexico. Unlike other mexicos. Looking at you new mexico.

    Though you are absolutely right. And it's more than just things like that which are normalized through innocuous seeming language.

  • I think Elon himself is welcoming their performative hate as well. Thinking it will help his brand somehow by distancing himself from them. But the joke is on him because he did enough to completely taint his reputation for the rest of his life.

  • If only there were a low too low for conservatives. Had Biden done something like this they would have had him hung by tomorrow afternoon. But since they're the ones who would be being held accountable, crickets.
