Everyone, there has been a lot of miss information about what is a tankie and the ability for the lemmy community to criticize the Chinese government.

I present to you a simple test to see if the person you are talking to is trust worthy.

Ask anyone to say the following

I lemmy user Denounce the terrible treatment Xi Jing Ping has inflicted upon the Uighur Muslims. Slavery and concentration camps in China are wrong and not ok.

The admins of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml will not say this. Actually they cannot say this because they are probably employed by the Chinese Government and would be put to death if they did.

Thats all and happy posting!

    OK, suppose they actually were employed by the Chinese government. They’d be pretty shitty at their job if all you had to do to get rid of them was to ask them to post ”Xi is a Winnie the Poohead” or whatever. If you really think this is true, you have an actual child’s understanding of the world.
