does sh.itjust.works allow criticism of CCP? (sh.itjust.works)

I have seen that the lemmy.ml mods will openly ban discussion about the CCP. I am wondering if the sh.itjust.works team allows criticism of government bodies, while still banning racism.

I think he's talking about the people who don't do anything but look for hateable things about the CCP

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

why should we look for likeable things about the ccp when they're committing genocide? lmao. and why should we spend effort looking for likeable things about the ccp when they have millions of genzedongers around the world (example: lemmygrad.ml) to do it for them?

I think instead we should balance it with posts appreciating Chinese culture. They have a long artistic and cultural history that goes way beyond the current gov.

Thing is, I'm not talking about China or the Chinese people. If I say "CCP is committing genocide" am I talking in any way about "The Chinese People"?? I'm not. Talking shit about basically Hitler2.0 has absolutely nothing to do with The Chinese People. Why should I go around randomly yelling good stories about the Chinese culture any time I wanna talk shit about Xi Jinping or his posse of evil? Makes no sense right?

You don't have to, and I probably won't either. It's just a nice idea. Too many crazies take it too far into racism. (not you)

No I'm not saying we should look for positives But aside from the big flashy stuff, you don't need to spend hours search for CCP raised taxes in Tibet at one point 5 years ago to know that the CCP is an awful government.

That sort of hatred I suppose leads to the sentiment that Washington is a perfect government etc, its a political view that's just as worthy of criticism as GZD, and also just as silly.

Now the CCP has done some horrible things and we SHOULD recognise them I think I've got my point across, there's a difference between hating the CCP and HATING the CCP I guess.

I don't HATE the ccp. I just hate reading support for it and for other communist tyrants. "oh but Marxism equality socialism ooh" sure commit genocide in the name of equality, get a Peace Nobel Price for eradicating an entire civilization, see if I'm gonna start thinking "oh but maybe I should be more lenient and think of the other side, I bet they also have good traits teehee".

I do hate the CCP, I don't need to spend every waking moment finding more evdience I already know they are awful. Between the on going genocide and the several of things they have done to retain power. Absolute power corrupts absolutely
