    Huh, that sounds pretty bad, let me look that up. Oh wait, it’s a total lie.

    My personal opinion, for those who are interested, is that these two instances (Hexbear and Lemmygrad) are filled with what we call here nazbols, tankies, or even left-wing fascists.

    “It came from the statement made in the thread that hexbear was ‘aggressively pro-trans,’ which seemed quite disgusting and fetishizing to me. This aligns with the rest of the authoritarian theme of the instance, you might say, having the perspective that one must make a superhuman effort to allow a minority to use a space.”

  • Have you tried talking about legitimately bad things the Chinese government does instead of shit taken wildly out of context or simply fabricated, in a context where you’re not transparently simply trying to cHInA BaD?

    There’s not productive discussion to be had when someone is only trying to twist any data into hostile evidence.

    That’s how you defend any position you know to be true or even any position that’s being attacked as a proxy for something else; when a nazi claims they have evidence the holocaust was fake, if you acknowledge the validity of any “evidence”, you’re already playing their game. Instead you explain the motivations behind the person’s actions.

    When an American starts talking about tiananmen square and lacks basic knowledge of what occurred and the conversation about it in China, going through evidence and witnesses is futile; the atomic unit of propaganda isn’t lies, it’s emphasis and getting bogged down on specifics allows them to control the framing.




  • Those aren’t mutually exclusive; “American indoctrination.” is the reason so many lemmitors disagree with such extreme views as “sending weapons that prolong war is bad for the people who will suffer the effects of those weapons, mostly civilians”, “supporting al-nusra is bad”, “we shouldn’t put tariffs on EVs and solar panels”, or “the chinese government having your data is less of a threat to you than the american government having your data”
