I do love this guy's shiny grey orbs peering hopefully

china is only evil when you deal with them directly

if there is a suitably wealthy and white middle man like walmart, apple or amazon between you and the red menace, then it's just good old fashion murika apple pie freedom.

ironically people in the west are the most brainwashed because western regimes dominate world's information space

[–] frisbird@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's not ironic at all. It's exactly what one would expect from the longest running and largest empire in the history of humanity.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

It's certainly not the longest.

That would be the Vatican. Been around since the Holy Roman Empire.

i suspect that this narrative has morphed from cointelpro-conspiracy-theory into cointelpro-brainwormed-people; but cointelpro was so successful that it's turned into a global maga-like cult that refuses to accept evidence that's available to them -- evidence that's literally created by the cointelpro people themselves btw -- simply because it's not spoonfed to them via their tv's or phones or wikpedia.

Maybe 15 years ago sure. But these days it's just the US openly being fascist

Yes, divided we stand, united we fall. — Lemmy

Should have waited with the infighting until we gained critical mass.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's a sign of just how engrained ultra-nationalism is in western liberals that they don't even consider that people with different ideological beliefs are automatically on the same "side" as them just because of national alliance alignment.

It's not infighting because we aren't on the same side

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world -2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

I’m saying we are on the same side. Nazis and fascists are unilaterally not tolerated as far as I have seen. We’ve got so much more in common than what divides us, but if this how some people on Lemmy want to spend their time, then I’m not going to stop them.

Every person in this thread who either responded or downvoted has assumed my points of view just because of my instance and I don’t think that’s a smart way to try and grow an actually revolutionary new internet platform.

I’m saying we are on the same side.

I know you're saying that, and I'm saying it shows how foundational nationalism is to your mindset that you think you can just declare it to be true even though I do not consider you on my side

Nazis and fascists are unilaterally not tolerated as far as I have seen.

I've seen Lemmy liberals tolerate them plenty so long as they're aligned with the democrats (who themselves are largely fascist) or against the Wests enemies.

We’ve got so much more in common than what divides us

Again, shows just how foundational nationalism is to you that you think you can just assert we have "so much more in common" just because we share a national affinity even though we have different values and ideologies.

but if this how some people on Lemmy want to spend their time, then I’m not going to stop them.

How magnanimous of you... I know liberals are used to being able to unilaterally shut down leftists in most spaces, but you don't actually have the power to do that here.

Every person in this thread who either responded or downvoted has assumed my points of view just because of my instance

Or we can just read your posts.

I don’t think that’s a smart way to try and grow an actually revolutionary new internet platform.

Good. We don't want to grow another Reddit

Can't stand with zionazi liberals of the zionazi instances like .world, ShitJustFash, feddit.org and many others who support genocides

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world -4 points 16 hours ago

Why would you make such broad stroke judgments? As our enlightened leader once said: there are very fine people on both sides.

So many people sign up and have no clue what they are signing up with. And who cares, it’s akin to calling all Americans fascists, all French people sex addicts, and all Jews zionists. The individual matters.

I’ve been posting about the genocide. If you had the patience and compassion to go through my post history you would find some surprising posts getting downvoted on unexpected instances.

All the Fediverse has done is create a new artificial skin colour so we can discriminate. It’s one of true letdowns of the recent internet.

TLDR; i hate all forms of centralised power, nuclear, putin, xi and the entire Epstein Class. Find any post in my post history that doesn’t outright condemn the genocides Israel is conducting and I’ll eat my shoes. Claiming that I do based on the instance of my account is not a very constructive way to get this fediverse thing off the ground.

Maybe it's because I'm European but I literally don't see anything about China at all except when I see .ml posts (and I guess tankiejerk? again reacting to things).

[+] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone -6 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

Yeah same. European too, and the amount of

"China not bad! It's the Anti-China propaganda that is everywhere!"

that I see, is 50 times greater than any other mention. It feels like the counter-propaganda bots are stuck in 2018, trying too late to make up for the Uyghur situation.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 9 points 7 hours ago

Really demonstrating the point, my god

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

LOL you're stuck in 2018 dragging up this China bad non-event

[–] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 18 points 21 hours ago

Everyone who doesn't subscribe to the empire's absurd narratives about it's enemies is an inhuman robot only here to trick you, the main character

[–] Smackyroon@lemmy.ml 1 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

European

Uyghur situation.

And there we go, liberals already bringing up the propaganda of the UyGhUrS "genocide"

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone -5 points 23 hours ago

"Brother" you just literally made 20 pro-Russia and Pro-China posts in less than half an hour in a mix of different communities, and now that someone answered to you, you instantly popped another one. Tell your boss to be more patient with the schedule he's giving you, and pace the posts better, so it's less obvious.
