CCP bootlickers run Lemmy like reddit? Damn thats a bummer

The thing is china has a bunch of legit cool stuff about it but its never even the stuff that gets highlighted and instead these communities just infinitely recite the propaganda that is thought to them. Its one thing to like china(which is already a red flag cause you shouldnt like a huge imperialistic dictatorship) but another thing to mindlessly recite it.

This is why I personally like to use the cool shit Yugoslavia did. Obscure by western standards and the only ones who get weird about it are Serbs.

I dunno it's pretty easy to think China has some really cool things but also acknowledge it's a terrible place

I can see your imminent ban in my crystal ball.

A lot of CCP trolls would say that the Uyghur genocide isn't happening and that witness testimony is from a one woman or couple of people who defected to propagandise for the West. But there is a point made that there are too many complains from hundreds, if not thousands, of Uyghurs to dismiss the accusation of genocide as merely from a handful of individuals. Because most people would rather get on with their lives than waste time making accusations.

Shitting on the CCP in any ML community will get you banned for "orientalism"

I specifically said the people of China are nice but the CCP can go fuck itaely

I met couple of Chinese who acknowledge the party is tyrannical but they avoid delving deeper into politics. Despite having emigrated, it's a learned response I guess for many Chinese not to talk about politics.

This is because it's illegal to criticize the CCP in China. You can get arrested for this.
We in the west talk a lot of crap about freedom of speech but don't realize how precious a thing it truly is.

That's a totally understandable response. What's not understandable is denying any wrongdoing from the CCP.

Yep. Ate a 3 day ban recently from /c/memes for exactly that before I realized I was on lemmy.ml/c/memes.

[–] Hawanja@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

c/memes is a cesspool of CCP bootlickers
