entire governments are in agreement

Yeah and literally all of them are white western US allies contractually obligated to hate China

Not a single Muslim majority, even those that are US allies, have said shit

Holy shit are you one of those people that actually fucking believes that?

Winnie the Pooh isn’t banned in China, you can go visit Shanghai Disney and go see him. You can buy Pooh merch. The only thing that got banned was comparing images of Xi and Obama to Winnie and Tigger, and if you can’t see why representing Xi with a literal yellow character and Obama with a character named Tigger might be worthy of social media bans, you’re willfully ignorant.

And Chinese people aren’t executed if they hear about Tiananmen Square. They know it fucking exists, they just refer to it by date and not by name.

Taiwan rightfully belongs under Chinese rule.

This is also the Taiwanese position.

Taiwan has never claimed independence, they’re called the Republic of China because they see themselves as the rightful Chinese government in exile. They don’t want a small isolated island, they want to take back the mainland.

As I understand it we should have /some/ more time until the invasion of Taiwan, mainly because they need more numbers of and more reliable marine landing vehicles with greater ranges.

China hasn’t made a single actual step towards invading Taiwan for reunification since the end of the Chinese Civil War.

It has been like 70 years of the US telling us they’re gonna invade any second now, and China has continued to not invade and maintain the policy of waiting for reunification to happen naturally.

But y’know go off, king

Russia is imperialist because it has close relations and ties to other nations like Belarus

The more nations you’re friends with the more imperialister you are

He has changed his ways/I believe in allowing people the opportunity to reform

I also believe in allowing people the opportunity to reform, but that’s usually involving things like drug crimes, or thefts, or other similar crimes fueled by socioeconomic factors

When someone goes and establishes a fairly complex human trafficking network though, it’s a little different

Other than Uvalde and the Las Vegas concert one, I’m fairly certain all the most brutal ones to enter the public psyche were under the Obama regime.

I unfortunately know a number of turbolib and centrist “neopagans” who basically practice the grab-bag version that our comrade is ranting about in the opener, and they practice it due to being white but wanting to be “interesting”.

Someone firebombed his house. He wasn’t there at the time, but it did happen at night and someone was definitely out to get him.

He may be a lib but his documentaries and exposure of corruption in Australia are legitimately great and earned him an assassination attempt, and he’s friends with I Did A Thing and Boy Boy. He’s probably close to becoming a comrade.

And Friendlyjordies

Admittedly I’d been watching a couple of Turkey Tom’s videos recently and definitely got the hidden fash vibes off him. I don’t even think it’s anything he expressly said, it’s just a vibe.

I wouldn’t call Finns chilled out.

If you took a random Finn, any single one, and put them in a room with Hitler, Mussolini (or some other fascist, I dunno), and a random Russian, plus a gun with two bullets, they’d double-tap the random Russian and ask for more ammo.

The only people with a more deep hatred and revanchism against Russia is Poland.

Dudes rock

Russia is a paper tiger with the world’s worst tech! Unlike those strong Aryan Ukranians who used… Wait, what sort of weapons to defend themselves?

It’s a long video, yes, but it’s primarily a video about one of the largest queer creators on YouTube stealing from smaller queer creators, erasing their contribution to media and literary critique while simultaneously positioning himself as King Queer.

I know it’s a meme to laugh about internet drama and be contrarian and popular media here, but in this case, it’s a valid subject.

I actually speak 4 languages

Congratulations.

You’re on a Marxist forum with users all over the world, not Reddit.

Being multilingual isn’t fucking special, most of the world is, and most of our users are.

Poland. They’re already mad as fuck about Poland trying to close off the border to Ukranian goods.

Starting to think the ML in Lemmy.ml stands for machine learning, because there’s no way an adult human writes like this

Remember that literally everyone considered the ETIM a terrorist organization right up until Zenz fabricated his bunk genocide claims, and then very suddenly the US and a few key allies dropped that label from them.

Redditors are some of the most gullible fucks on the planet
