Well yeah that’s lemmy.ml for you.
Admittedly don’t know any of the context and can’t argue on it, but the instance’s political stance is very whack (tankies).
7 days and already heard of lemmy.ml’s bad reputation
Back in my day, it would take weeks, maybe even months
Poligonal Ursae are even worse, tbh
The tankies get real upset when you point out that not just western countries are awful to people.
Classic haha
Seems more like they’re denying persecution than defending it. Important difference.

I wanna know what do you think is the non-bullshit part
Woe to the sort of ideological fragility that requires the things you support to appear completely, unassailably, virtuously perfect. That’s just not how real life works, almost ever. It’s not enough for tankies to critically support China over the USA in the context of opposition to American global hegemony, or merely to recognize that they’re the one nation state closest to being a vanguard for communism on the world stage in this postmodern era. It seems that tankies lack the critical sensibility required to synthesize strong support for something with the occasional, inevitable failings of that something. They act as if any and all criticisms are liberal CIA gotchas, they cannot navigate the issue gracefully enough to cede “Yes China did a bad thing and I support them anyway and here’s why”, they cannot strive for the nation they love to improve further. And ultimately this makes them incredibly brittle in a way that undermines both communism and China. It makes a mockery of both.
Just to be clear, an actual vanguard state wouldn’t have a political body made of billionaire capitalists.
