Every time I see an anti-.ml meme I wonder, why are people so worried about people seeing .ml content? If they’re jerks, wouldn’t you want people to stumble into .ml and find out?
No one “worries” about seeing it. It’s that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in, a .ml, about any topic at all, you’ll eventually be hit with “capitalism causes all problems in the universe” or the rest of their standard “I’m 19 and this is deep” tankie talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the instance. It’s exhausting and pointless. No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend capitalism, so it’s just of a constant eye-roll when “I’m an independent thinker! Here’s the same thing we all say!” happens.
You clearly haven’t engaged with anything, and lol @ “independent thinker” from someone defending the dominant economic and political system, which fyi is exactly what you’re doing
So your response to people glazing the usa is glazing an authorization country. And you wonder why people don’t like ML?
No, it’s not about the economic system. Christ knows communists aren’t in short supply on lemmy, if that was true you’d see more support. Don’t kid yourself.
No, people are attacking China with misinformation created and distributed by the US specifically because their economic system represents an existential threat to our own
.ml is just the latest designated “tankie” instance. So far it’s the third one. Once .world defederates from .ml, the same people who currently hate .ml will designate another “tankie” instance to hate.
People designated .ml as a tankie instance for very good reason: the admins of .ml have repeatedly shown to be pro-authoritarian.
For years now I’ve seen incessant gaslighting from tankies pretending that “tankie” is some catch-all term baselessly thrown around like “woke”. However, I’ve pretty much exclusively seen the term “tankie” used to describe people who support authoritarian regimes/dictatorships.
An ‘anarchist’ instance which claims to oppose genocide, yet allows genocide denial if it’s painted red, and where the admins deny UN verified sexual assault.

Anti-leftism is an all consuming, load-bearing pillar of fascism. Since .ml is tangentially leftist aligned…
Authoritarians are not leftists LMAO

Edit: OOOh, seems like I struck a nerve, eh?

It’s not about the economic system, it’s the constant china glazing
It absolutely is about the economic system, and the “china glazing” is a direct response to US propaganda

You can be anti-capitalist without sucking China’s scrotum.
You can also critically support China’s socialist and anti-imperialist position while simultaneously criticizing the mistakes they’ve made.
However, blind critique of China and saying everything they do is authoritarian explicitly helps capitalism and hurts socialism.
I’d say you can be anti-china without being homophobic/misogynistic but I don’t actually believe you’re capable lol, cry about it patriot
ah, classic ml. Genocide deniers
You going to start whining about “white genocide” in South Africa next?

Every muslim majority nation on earth is apparently only supporting China because they’re either corrupt or too terrified to oppose them, despite the fact that the US has been completely unable to get similar results for Israel with our best efforts? And despite having the most advanced surveillance technology on earth, despite having satellites that can take high resolution pictures of any patch of dirt on earth and an unmatched intelligence network, the US has somehow been unable to obtain any incontrovertible physical evidence of this supposed genocide for years? And you believe that?

So .world is extremely anti free speech? Is there an easy way I can block all of .world from my feed then?
Oh look, someone else to block.
Nobody cares who you block

There was a few people calling dbzer0 a tankie instance, when it’s an anarchist instance.

Fantastic.
Anything’s possible when you make shit up kiddo
Bedtimes are authoritarian, your parents are tyrannical
