Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

china isn't marxist at all. western communists want a hero, but there just isn't one.

I know. I’m talking about the ML, not China. The ML are nowhere when China is dirty.

I'm all for shitting on tankies but I'm unsure what part of an all-male divine birthright theocracy they're supposed to support?

Except Tibet never got a chance to grow and adapt to the new world. You could literally say that about 90% of Asia which has a lot of problems but actually had the chance to grow because they were not violently occupied by a brutal invader.

One China and all. Oh other people exist? Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee one China!

Ironically, most of the ML are from the USA

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Or other "western" nations. I've never knowingly met someone staunchly ml. That was from an area formerly or currently ml.

Talking to someone from China etc you generally will not hear them specifically shit on their government. Mostly because the government will come knocking and threatening violence as they did with Naomi. But you will catch them nervously deflecting to justifying it. Acknowledging it without speaking of it. Though even that could not save Naomi.

Hilariously Lemmy.ml is blocked in China. Where a lot of other Lemmy instances aren't strictly.

I used to work in the Bay Area with a lot of immigrants from China and Taiwan. The Taiwanese were like “fuuuuuck China, poohbear shit” and the Chinese were like “can you marry me… please? My parents will pay the rent for 5 years.”

Its ironic that any support of communism is prevented by these radical idiots. I admit I'm quite sympathetic to the ideas found in Marxism though contemporary marxists are rotten apples that poison the entire barrel. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if CIA or some other propaganda machine is encouraging these crazies so communism is never being taken seriously by any normal human being.

Its incredibly sad how Tibet was just completely forgotten in just a few years. Its legit scary how effective China is at conquest and the world should pay attention.

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wasnt Tibetan society like 90% slaves working for the monastic rulers?
