I did use the word obnoxious, and not the word evil.

Ignorance, once again, being the idea that ML orthodoxy is the only "true socialism." We've been over this already and I'm not sure there's much point in carrying on this conversation if you are going to intentionally misrepresent politics I have articulated to you a number of times.

And to be honest, it sounds like you are the one doing a lot of speaking for the Chinese while making a lot of assumptions about my relationship with Chinese society. I don't really feel the need to justify any of this to you or trade cultural credentials. That honestly feels offensive and chauvinist.

I do appreciate the discussion though. I hope we can continue this in a different setting somehow.

I read GS's thread, what do you want me to say? I have more personal, firsthand experience with China than anyone commenting there? I have family there? I speak the language? I have an actual stake in Chinese society? I think we've seen conclusively that none of that matters if you do a wrongspeak.

GS even admits that the brigading is obnoxious then goes on to defend it. Like I said, this is well beyond my ability to truly care, I was just really hoping that lemmy would be a place people could discuss these topics instead of just trolling, and then having double standards when someone else gently pushes back.

Edit - improper pronoun

I don't think I've expressed any liberal sentiments here at all.

I legitimately don't care either way tbh. All this does is once again reinforce the idea that leftist spaces on the Internet are hostile to anything besides a very narrow set of ideas which makes up a very small and myopic subset of leftist thought. I am not here to cure anyone's ignorance. I am engaging earnestly with you because you are actually making an effort to converse instead of just posting literal pig shit.

I glanced at it. But you see what's happening here right? These people have no interest in anything but trolling.

Good point

Ok

Do you have anything to contribute or are you just trolling?

Not really

Translation: "look, if very profitable Nazis join our platform and harass users in very profitable ways there's nothing we can do about it because Blockchain."

This is how they are going to wash their hand of allowing fascists to overrun their platform isn't it?

Seems reasonable

Thus the word "pretending"

You seem upset

First day? Lemmygrad brigades every worldnews thread about China or Russia.

They are just showing us what non-imperialism looks like

Urban hiking. Plan a few stops at big tourist attractions and then walk between them, stoping for drinks and food as desired. Easily the best way to actually explore different neighborhoods.

It's the same picture

I am pretending that the no step snek is representing left libertarians.
