- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 1 week ago:
We already went over this garbage study with your @Scotty@scribe.disroot.org account^1 and @Sepia@mander.xyz account^2 two days ago and your @Sepia@mander.xyz account two months ago^3.
You’re like a broken record, bot.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 1 week ago:
Ultimately the problem is that the mods for the communities they frequently post to have allowed this to go on for years. They have to know by now what’s going on, and by doing nothing they tacitly endorse it.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 1 week ago:
It’s widely-know.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 1 week ago:
So which instance is politically neutral
There is no such thing as “politically neutral.” What you perceive as neutral is that which is hegemonic.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 1 week ago:
Anything even remotely pertaining to China is flooded with the Chinese state actors reply guys and bots.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 1 week ago:
What’s rampant is imperial core propaganda. You see the “Chinese propaganda” as “rampant” because you’re used to seeing only imperial core propaganda, which is how the internet looks on corporate media, including corporate social media.
The first step is to understand the media, which Media Bias/Fact Check and the Ad Fontes Media* are never going to teach you. The only people who are taught it are those who get degrees in marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism; and even then only some of them.
The new post-Trump/“post-truth” media literacy curricula won’t teach it to you either, because it was paid for and crafted by the US military-industrial complex: New Media Literacy Standards Aim to Combat ‘Truth Decay’. This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.
The standards are part of RAND’s ongoing project on “truth decay”: a phenomenon that RAND researchers describe as “the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in our political and civic discourse.”
None of it is a secret, though, and it can be learned.

The only person I know who ever denied the Armenian genocide was Cenk Uygur, which he later walked back.
An Armenian genocide is much more controversial. That the Srebrenica massacre constituted genocide had been refuted by a number of scholars, including Noam Chomsky, Edward Herman, and Michael Parenti.

- What genocide is that?
- Do you deny the genocide of white South Africans. Because you should. Not every genocide accusation is true, and false ones should in fact be denied.
- Previously.

- Comment on YSK pills are a scam (reposting bc mod accidentally removed it) 5 weeks ago:
Your mom was sick because she swallowed a whole bunch of pills, and she refuses to talk about it because she doesn’t want her children to know about her suicide attempt. If I were you, I would never bring it up again.
Also, drugs aren’t a scam.

I got here too late to see your comments, but getting a three day community ban for gatecrashing with accusations of crypto-fascism seems pretty reasonable.
- Comment on PieFed 1.4 is released - emoji, federated stackoverflow and AI content filters 1 month ago:
I don’t think most people know what that is—including me—so it’s probably just you.

The degree of Chinese propaganda in this thread is astonishing even for Lemmy.
Blah blah blah. Don’t piss on my boot and tell me it’s raining. We know you’re on Lemmy for two purposes and two purposed only: To post China Bad news links and Russia Bad news links.
You are in fact the propagandist.
Seriously, tell me how that’s not your whole deal. Because your posting history is public. Why are you spending your time on Lemmy with this singular purpose? Does that sound organic to you—like what regular people do on social media?
- Comment on Why China Can’t Sort Out Its Property Market Mess 2 months ago:
The article is from Bloomberg, whose existence is predicated on housing as financial instrument, while China isn’t. The reason they’re always wrong about China is because being right would put them in a bind.
And it definitely effects a large number of Chinese people of the middle class, just like you and me.
Won’t somebody please think of the petite bourgeoisie!
Even if we accept your presumption that we’re all “middle class” they’re still not just like you and me, because they live in China, and we don’t. We live in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie[1][2]; they don’t. We have to be born with a silver spoon or get very lucky or hustle like hell until we’ve gathered a large enough nest egg (a.k.a. private property) to be able to live off of the proceeds in order to retire; they don’t.
Have you considered that corporate social media might be more your speed? Their algorithms are sure to boost your message.
- Comment on Why China Can’t Sort Out Its Property Market Mess 2 months ago:
But be aware that the government can revoke this right at any time for no reason as the government still owns the land.
In every state in the world, in the final analysis the state owns the land. If you want to find out the hard way, just stop paying your property taxes. Eminent domain in China is similar to the US and many other states:
In China, “requisitions”, the Chinese form of eminent domain, are constitutionally permitted as necessary for the public interest, and if compensation is provided. The 2019 Amendment of the Land Administration Law of China spells out rather detailed guidelines, guaranteeing farmers and those displaced greater financial security. Property rights are in fact stronger in China than in many places: duckduckgo.com/?q="china"+home-owner+refuses+to+s…
Your sole mission on Lemmy is to spam it with anti-China & anti-Russia news articles though, so there’s no reason to believe that you’ll re-evaluate & update your understanding. You’ll recycle the same bullshit the next time around.

So what am I looking at? Is it this? github.com/EmissarySocial/bandwagon
Is the transfer feature specific to Bandwagon, or is to its underlying platform, Emissary? github.com/EmissarySocial/emissary
I wonder how well it works for Lemmy. Emissary has some Mastodon-specific features, but apparently no Lemmy-specific ones.

Nearly all of that is just a few people flaming out when a communist comments in “their” internet spaces.

Why didn’t I address some random, unrelated post? For one, geneva isn’t a Marxist-Leninist, he’s not a “tankie.” And for two, you’re the one who introduced “blood and soil” into that conversation, not him. He didn’t claim that “blood and soil” is “not that bad”; that’s your interpretation of what he said.

No one said it does. Either you’re still missing the point or you’re intentionally straw manning.

When the Soviet Union started paying pensions in the early years of Josef Stalin’s rule, the retirement age was set at 60 for men and 55 for women. It has not been raised since.
[…] genocidal extermination of the cultrue and language of occupied nations
If the USSR exterminated the cultures and languages of “occupied” nations, then why are those cultures still speaking Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Estonian, Georgian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Latvian, Lithuanian, Moldavian, Tajik, Turkmen, Ukrainian, and Uzbek?
You’ve likely never met anyone who lived in the USSR.
I have known some, and I know a few right here on Lemmy.
