Libs be like "this is a totally organic movement with broad local support"

Take a moment to imagine the absolutely demonic levels of McCarthyism that would be unleashed if it was discovered that BLM or the Green Party were headquartered in Beijing.

Don't forget they also love Israel. Xinjiang avoided the fate of Gaza and all the people complaining about China being "heavy handed" there should just shut up.

I just gotta pop in and say: thank you, comrades, for absolutely making my morning by dunking on some capitalists' useful idiots.

I don’t know what it is about this post in particular, but the threadiverse isn’t sending its best 🤷

Edit to add: Some of them were so angry that they broke out their alt accounts to downvote some more.

Jokes on them, my instance ignores down votes. Lol

How frequent are alt-downvotes?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Yep, used to be very frequent. They're easy to spot because they're either no content accounts, or old accounts, with maybe 1 comment per month. We permaban them as they add nothing of value.

[–] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

old accounts, with maybe 1 comment per month

Isn't that just lurking behaviour?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

If they are, its impossible to distinguish them from the targeted downvote bots ppl have written for lemmy.

US is in a situation where even the Chinese government can make fun of how undemocratic it is. I think this explains a lot.

Responding to a federated comment because I don't have a .ml account:

Okay, but we are talking about a country where you aren’t allowed to form a political party that opposes the CCP, right?

There are eight other parties in the People's Republic of China other than the *CPC
