Detective after investigating for 5 minutes: “Alright pack it up, boys. Natural Causes. He had a pre-existing condition of lead poisoning. Anyways, anyone wanna go get a donut with me?”

China funds Russia to invade… Canada?

Nah, no way the US is gonna stand by and let an ideological adversarial nation set up camp in north america. Russia cant even beat Ukraine in a land war, isnt there water between russia and north america anyways?

whores

woah woah woah! dont talk to your stepmom like that!

Its the “Lacking the perspective to make comparison”.

For western leftists, everything is theory, but for those that have seen it, its reality, a core memory.

Its funny how western MLs keep trying to justify to their views by saying “But actchually China is democratic!” then presents paragraphs of arguements of arguments, graphs, charts, quotes

But actual average people in China is just like “yea idc about politics, I just want to make enough money to live”. They dont even bother doing much mental gymnastics to justify simping for Xi, they know all the “elections” are predetermined. Besides, I dont think I’ve ever heard of my parents talk about an election in China, not even sham ones. I heard about that in villages, they elect the village chief, but thats about it as far as “elections” go. Its just that unimportant that it doesnt ever get much of a mention, cuz people already know the “results”.

My parents went to visit recently, the neighborhood in Guangzhou we used to live in still looks dirty and dilapidated. I mean I have photos from our old apartment take in just a few months ago this year, its actually more dirtier than I remembered. That squat toilet thing actually just trigger my germaphobia, feels like my photo album is “tainted” lol. Its weird too, 10 minuts away from that dirty apartment building area is a relatively modern looking mall, walking that 10 minutes probably feels like walking though a time travel wormhole connecting the past to the future. Like a western tourist would never see this unless they go out of their way. Literally 10 minuts of walking is the difference between the common “China is so advanced” narrative and the “urban villages”, those dirty buildings I talked about.

Obviously the west isnt anywhere close to being a utopia either. There are neighborhood in Philly that looks like you could get mugged. But I have the memories and family’s first hand accounts to make a comparison. So for those without this perspective to compare, they’d probably be like “ugh this place is bad” but those who know would be a bit more appreciative of the thing that they do have.

“Fascism is when Social Democracy…” -Average Tankie

Users like that “u/GenevaSuggestions” (edit: the username is actually u/Geneva_Convenience @lemmy dot ml, I misremembered) user was like “Omg AOC is literally Hitler!” and literally photoshopped in the “hitler mustasche”

(Yes I know Social Democracy is not sunshines and rainbows, but equating any system thats not perferectly 100% socialist utopia to be “fascist” is dilluting the meaning of fascism)

Didnt cowbee also admit they never been to China? 🤔

(Edit: Cant find the comment now, maybe it was another ML user, so many of them that its hard to keep track of lmfao)

Oh daddy xi, pls no, not my social credits. 😩

习爹哋，饶了我吧！ Not the spanking again! 😭

Me with two Meshtastic Sensecap T1000-E:

CHICHANERY!

(disclaimer: rant warning)

I hate discord too. If you mention anything slightly negative, they’ll ban you for “spreading harmful content”.

Including posting a slightly “dark” poem in a language exchange server. POETRY! Like whats next, are songs including “dark” lyrics gonna be banned too?
Literally the diaspora-run servers are the worst, I joke about the toxic culture that we grew up in and the top mod was like “um yeah we’re totally here trying to help you, but your chat will be deleted and this is a warning, stop complaining”

Hmmm…
I feel like I just hate my ancestry/heritage even more after those interactions. The more interactions with people of my heritage, the more it just pushes me towards western culture. Literally the western-raised ethnic Chinese simping for the toxicity of Chinese culture, like what do they even know, they barely speak the language, I know more characters than them.

So yeah I basically left every server and gonna delete the account soon after i delete all the contacts. Ugh. No wonder why there as Asians that wanna “Act White”.

People are probably going to discord or some random website they spin up locked behind user registration (they they’ll promptly disable after like a week cuz they fear authorities infiltrating)

Or telegram, I heard its popular for um… hackers, crypto, unlawful videos, intelligence operatives. (not trying to say that everyone using telegram is doing unlawful activities, but it is a reputation i heard when its mentioned)

oh yeah, i just checked and cant find a community setting that bans an entire instance, but theres a setting to reject down votes that meet/dont meet certain criteria. But to reject comments too, you’d have to find an instance that defederated them

It would probably block you from seeing them and effectively makes it hard for you to moderate but your community members will still see the havoc they cause.

Btw I think in Piefed, you could also add an entire instance block in your community settings (if the instance the comm is hosted in did not already blocked them), and it would effectively preemptively ban users from those instances you choose to block.

So yeah, maybe try piefed? Or just pick a lemmy instance that already defederated them. Personal blocks do not apply to community.

“China’s Indirect Democracy is very democratic but America’s Electoral College is fascism.” -Average Tankie

Btw just to put it in perspective, imagine if every US congress person was elected by state legislature, and also you dont get to vote for state legislators either, your city council gets to do that and wait im not done yet, your specific district of the city have delegates, those delegates are the only people you can directly vote for.

Your District Delegates elect city council, they elect state legislature, then they elect congress.

And also all candidates have to be approved by US Congress’s Committee on elections (which is only a subset of all the members, not the entire membership) before being able to run.

And then Congress elects the president, whom gets to appoint governors and mayors.

I mean would that even be democracy anymore or just a kafkaesque machine.

btw piefed.social blocks these weirdos 😉
sopuli.xyz is also a good option if you want Lemmy
