  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.

  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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  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.

  I wonder how well it works for Lemmy. Emissary has some Mastodon-specific features, but apparently no Lemmy-specific ones.

  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.

    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.

  • Funny thing about Hannah Arendt’s construction of “totalitarianism”: She came from a bourgeois family and so was unsurprisingly anti-communist. She was also quite racist, and her work was funded & promoted by the CIA.
    Imperialist Propaganda and the Ideology of the Western Left Intelligentsia: From Anticommunism and Identity Politics to Democratic Illusions and Fascism

    One of the centerpieces of the cultural cold war was the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), which was revealed in 1966 to be a CIA front. Hugh Wilford, who has researched the topic extensively, described the CCF as nothing short of one of the largest patrons of art and culture in the history of the world. Established in 1950, it promoted on the international scene the work of collaborationist academics such as Raymond Aron and Hannah Arendt over and against their Marxian rivals, including the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.

  Accusations of genocide denial isn’t the cheat code you think it is, or do you not deny the genocide of white South Africans? And what say you to this one? Previously.

  And if accusations of promoting transphobia held any water, blahaj & hexbear would have already defederated from us.

  blahaj isn’t particularly hostile toward anarchism or democratic socialism, I don’t think, but it’s largely a liberal instance. It’s defederated from hexbear & lemmygrad, so a lot of socialist content is blocked.

  dbzer0 is explicitly anarchist. It blocks lemmygrad but not hexbear.

  slrpnk is anarchist-friendly and environmentalist. It blocks both hexbear & lemmygrad.

  lemmy.ml is predominantly socialist. It’s federated with everyone except for porn and fascist instances[^1], and few instances are defederated from it. The only ones defederated from it that I can only think of are infosec.pub, lemmy.cafe, and programming.dev.

  Quite a few instances are defederated from lemmygrad and/or hexbear. Hexbear is basically only defederated from lemmy.world, and lemmygrad is only defederated from porn and fascist instances.
