more adventures on rednote mostly because it’s entertaining how mad people get when i talk about it :3 /halfjoke
this was posted 12/31 btw so i don’t think “the mods haven’t gotten to it yet” is a real thing
#le is common in parallel to the anglosphere’s #wlw which i think is adorable
my number one qualm with little red book so far is there is no native translation like tiktok has. lots of google translate is necessary to get the social media to social :P
necessary disclaimer: fuck the CCP and all the real violence and repression they do. just want to give credit given where due, and so far here im just seeing a lot of assumptions with no evidence? so im gonna post what my experience is :) i welcome all to do the same
This is useless propaganda. I’m familiar with all of these talking points. The metrics used to determine freedom and democracy are invalid tools of Western Imperialist nations to bolster the illusion that we have more freedom that others.
I’m being cautious not to defend either state, but you are treading pretty close to sounding like you’re defending the US system, and I would like to remind you as one of the moderators here that defending inherently inequitable and oppressive systems such as capitalism, fascism, genocide, and imperialism are forbidden in this community.
As an aside if your claims that “defending inherently inequitable and oppressive systems such as capitalism, fascism, genocide, and imperialism are forbidden in this community.” doesn’t seem to appear in the guidelines for what is not approved in that instance. If this is your actual policy you should include that information in your sidebar.
That was my bad, and I’m sorry. I thought we were speaking in a completely different community. If I had realized this was the now-defunct 196, I would have stopped talking a long time ago. My bad.
Are you talking world or oneninetysix which is also blåhaj? Blåhaj has no warning on this for the instance
No, I’m talking about the community I moderate on blahaj. It’s explicitly for sharing from a leftist or post-leftist perspective, but the rules have to be strict because otherwise it gets overrun by people wanting to go off-topic.
In addition to this, this particular 196 community is now retired, making matters more confusing. I took a months-long break from Lemmy, and that’s why I forgot to check the community name in my notifs.
Genuinely, in spite of our disagreements, I apologize. I never would have come on so strong if I didn’t think this was Liberty Hub.
Gotcha, that would make sense.
I too took a break until recently.
I still think you need to take a minute to look into how much freer many nations are on a fundamental level than China. That’s not propaganda it’s factual. Not every nation or government values freedom equally.
I’m interested in ensuring everyone has equal access to food, shelter, and healthcare
Hey Link I think you’re confused, this isnt LibertyHub.
I was confused 🤦♀️This is embarrassing
I usually try to avoid discourse on 196, and I need to adhere to that practice.
You’re familiar with these claims but do ypu understand what they mean? I don’t think ypu have a clue.
You can compare the rights people have. China is going to be near the bottom of any logical assessment of rights as Chinese people do not have the rightsto free speech, the right to free expression, the right to determine the direction of the Chinese state who h ultimately means there is no freedom.
Im not defending America. Im rejecting the objectively flawed claim that they are as free as other nations when they are not. You currently have greater rights in Norway than you do in China. Hopefully you can see the difference.
Finally if ypu cannot defend capitalism here why are you defending China a nation wth a stock market and investor class? What economic theory are they pursuing when for-profit banks are investing in foreign companies and not ceding control to the workers? China is a capitalist nation wearing the skin of a socialist nation much like America currently wears the skin of a capitalist democracy.
