    I’m so glad there are instances that aren’t infested with tankies. I tried to argue that China was imperialist and erased minority cultures on lemmy.ml and half my comments got removed. Anything mentioning Tibet or Xinjiang they seem to seek out like flies to shit.

      My introduction to lemmy was trying to argue with hexbears that N Korea propagandizes its citizens more than the US. Apparently I was wrong and dumb and N Korea is a really awesome place to live, despite none of the hexies moving there for some odd reason 🤔

        Do not go to ml or hex and point out that maybe Taiwan has a right to self determination as Ukraine does.

        Or that the Houthis are… basically fundamentalist pirate/terrorists.

        Its is absolutely amazing the number of femboy/catgirl/trans/lgtbqia+ people do not understand that being themselves in say Soviet Russia or modern Russia or China at basically any point in time I am aware of, or nearly anywhere in the Middle East or Africa… they would be massively oppressed if not outright jailed or killed.

        As you say with North Korea, with China as well there is this mental wall of everything bad you hear about those places is Western Propaganda.

        I feel like we are at the point where a lot of these types of people would think Pol Pot was actually based and the Dead Kennedys were reactionary fascists.

          “Anarkiddies” is their usual term of abuse.

        I like seeing the posts where they discuss satellite images showing it is completely dark at night.

          Those are photoshopped images from untrustworthy western media; do not trust them. Homes in North Korea shine as bright as our love for our esteemed leader.

      They just deny everything about Xinjiang, but somehow it needs multiples of them come out to do so.
