They have a lot of pooh posts mainly from the ride at Disney there.
You sure about that?

Dude yea I went to the app. I see the posts I was curious about it as well. There are a lot of Winnie the pooh posts you can see. Like go there yourself.
You're literally parroting bullshit
This is the crux of it. People are so used to getting away with “bravely” parroting Western Cold War propaganda that even the mildest push-back is experienced as a massive affront.
The reason the US is more lax about censorship is that they can afford to because people are so gullible they'll believe anything they're told regardless of their own, lying eyes.
I’m sure it’s still exponentially better than censoring all free speech and critical opinion, and only being fed what your government mandates you a need to know.
Go on… ask china how they feel about Tiananmen Square. Better yet, how about you go ahead and show me some material from all those North Korean comedians taking about how incompetent their government is.
Man… It really blows my mind how much lemmy is a microcosm of how shit is in the world.
You .ml folk sure like to come here and sling your shit in .world and pretend that things like free speech is somehow something to shit on, when you know damn well we can’t respond in kind in your house. It’s interesting how you all seem to enjoy the freedom you have here to say dumb shit every day- knowing that you have a safe space to run back to when people call you out.
Remember that.
You say you’ve provided direct proof? What proof? Additionally, you haven’t confronted me on anything. I only just came in here to call out your nonsense.
Oh, and you know damn well that I’m not wrong. It’s easy to prove that .ml shuts down any narrative that casts a shadow on their broken-assed ideology. And if you even think to deny this, I’ll have you look at the modlogs as evidence.
Unfortunately though, here you remain, rattling on with your misguided rhetoric- arrogantly positing opinions and seemingly demanding to be taken seriously.
Suffice it to say, lemmy is a microcosm of the real would. It’s plain to see that the communist blathering of .ml is an attempted emulation of the countries they blindly worship. Which in and of itself would be fine. People should be allowed to be as foolish and ignorant as they chose. But the problem lies when they all come here accusing bias and unfair treatment.
Utterly mind-blowing it is! To see so many people that claim to hate America and westernized media spending so much of their time contributing to its success. In contrast…
Consider looking through my comment history. See how many times I’ve wasted my time posting or commenting in a .ml community. See how many times I’ve debated with people there. Then compare that to the overwhelming amount of time you spend here debating with people that will probably never agree with you.
Kind regards!
Lol no thanks. Tbh I had you blocked because you never have anything interesting to say and tend to argue with me at a pretty low level. It's not very stimulating or challenging, just annoying. I unblocked because I saw a reply on my post and was curious, but I will block you again once we're done here. I certainly wouldn't intentionally go through your comments. I'm not sure why you like engaging with me so much when you say you don't.
I don't really follow why it's a bad thing to debate people who disagree with me. But I also don't particularly care why you think that, I suppose if you only talk to people who already agree with you, it would explain some things.
"Everything is propaganda except CCP propaganda"
You tankies are fucking wild.
Why even bother talking with y'all? If I prove something you say is wrong, you just switch to something else (and yet you're always accusing us of whataboutism!) and put words into my mouth that I never said. If you want to let yourself be deceived, I can't stop you, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
Tank goes vroooooooommm
Correct. Tankies are the only socialists to produce successful revolutions capable of manufacturing tanks, or anything else. The options are: submit to capitalism, retreat into idealist fantasies, or become a tankie and actually do something 💅
Like Holodomor?
Yep. If you're a tankie, you get to eat all the food in an entire country with an enormous spoon.
I guess genocide denial comes in shades of red, too.
Wym? I would never deny that Stalin committed genocide by eating all the food with a giant spoon.
This is why tankies are clowns. You state historical fact and they come back with warmed-over memes that they weren't even clever enough to make themselves.
"Historical fact" lol. I'm sure you've delved into this topic very deeply and critically.
I respond with a meme because I know what will happen if I refute your narrative, because it already happened in this thread. I know how this goes, you don't put effort into what you say and expect me to respond with effort and then ignore if I do.
How about you tell me some more "historical facts" like:
Were there any severe weather events that might have contributed to the famine?
Which countries were willing to sell food to the USSR to relieve the famine, and which weren't?
What did the kulaks do when the government tried to redistribute their stored grain to feed the people who were starving?
What was food security like before the creation of the USSR? How frequent were famines under the tsar? How did that change as the USSR stabilized?
I'll bet you don't know shit about how to answer any of those, and you won't engage because y'all are anti-intellectual and never want to discuss things beyond a meme level. And since that's what you want, that's what you get, and we can drop this pretense that you have any knowledge or interest in "historical facts" and go back to trading quips and memes like you actually want.
And yet you couldn't resist eagerly tapping out the strident revionist bullshit that followed.
Anti-intellectual, indeed, tool.
Whomst amongus could've predicted this?
