masquenox , to fediverse in Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

There are lots of comments on that thread trying to divert the issue by pointing out the violence done by the western countries

Yeah, I know - me (and all the other leftists) were dealing with tankies long before these libs even knew what the term tankie meant.

A liberal showing up and pretending that the west (supposedly) puts “attention on those misdeeds to ensure future generations don’t repeat the mistakes” is an utterly fallacious piece of propaganda that any leftist is going to debunk hard no matter what is being discussed. All they actually achieved is to give the tankies a justification to divert the issue.

I have no idea why libs think they are politically competent enough to argue with tankies - they aren’t even competent enough to deal with their alt-right cousins.

masquenox , to fediverse in Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

When I was reading it, there were mostly posts critical of China in the thread and some whataboutist/denialist replies

You complain about the tankies’ whataboutist replies “critical of the USA and the west” - yet your very first comment up there proves that you, too, were very quick to bring the west into a discussion about Tiananmen.

but I’d like to urge people to avoid lemmy.ml hosted communities in favor of communities on more reasonable instances.

You think the liberal hive mind here on lemmy.world is (somehow) more “reasonable” than the views held by tankies?

By what metrics are you measuring this (alleged) “reasonable-ness”?

whether under a socialist regime,

There is no such thing as a “socialist” regime… not in the way we generally use the term regime, anyway. And the regimes that (falsely) attributed to themselves the characteristics of socialism never claimed to make a virtue out of human greed like our neoliberal ones do.

all it takes to destroy the system is for greedy people

Are you trying to say that a disjointed and incoherent jumble of pretexts, justifications and outright lies masquerading as an ideology that specifically exists to justify said human greed will (somehow) be destroyed by human greed?

Looks to me like it’s working as designed… and not “destroyed” at all.

It’s always been crony capitalism. There is no other kind of capitalism - never has been.

masquenox , to technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

late-stage crony capitalism.

So… capitalism.

crony capitalist system which feeds corporate greed.

Sooo… capitalism?

Our government is controlled by a handful of mega corps which have their hands pulling the strings due to the lobbying system.

So just bog-standard capitalism, then?

Regulated capitalism is fine

The Soviets tried that and failed. The Chinese tried it too, and it turned into… bog-standard capitalism.

People keep pointing the finger at AI, but miss the fact that the problem is corporate greed capitalism. AI has the possibility to help us solve problems, corporate greed capitalism will gate keep the solutions and cause us suffering.

No need to thank me.

Oh, look… a sausage fest. As an actual straight male - no fucking thank you.

masquenox , to til in A WWII Propaganda Campaign Popularized the Myth That Carrots Help You See in the Dark

Well, let’s face it… the Brits were really good at spreading this kind of propaganda - people in my own family bought into this “carrots help your night vision” stuff even back in the 80s.

I mean, if Biritsh propagandists are to be believed you’d think they were the only people on the planet to ever think of building an airplane out of wood…

masquenox , to technology in 24 of the best free alternatives to the most popular paid software

You forgot vector-graphics stuff.

I believe Inkscape is the current leader of the open-source pack in that department.

masquenox , to news in ‘No way out without bloodshed’: the right believe the US is under threat and are mobilizing

That’s because the US is under threat.

I mean… what did people think happens when the lies an empire is built upon is debunked one after the other?

masquenox , to til in TIL states that passed laws allowing a married person to seek a divorce without the consent of their spouse saw female suicide decline by 20 percent

None that I’ve heard of.

masquenox , to til in TIL states that passed laws allowing a married person to seek a divorce without the consent of their spouse saw female suicide decline by 20 percent

My own interpretation is that it’s hard to hide bruises on a naked body.

Considering that the ancient Greeks literally allowed men to murder their wives under certain conditions, I’d say that seeing bruises on a woman’s body would elicit no outcry amongst them.

Also… fuck ancient Greece. And fuck the Roman empire, too.

masquenox , to technology in "Maybe This is Too Cool" - After years of layoffs and pay/resource freezes, Amazon execs treat themselves to a private Foo Fighters concert worth millions

Which is why I have you noted as “Bad Faith”

As all the liberals festering around here does. I’ll just throw this badge on the heap with the others, okay?

masquenox , to technology in "Maybe This is Too Cool" - After years of layoffs and pay/resource freezes, Amazon execs treat themselves to a private Foo Fighters concert worth millions

So we’re just skipping the part about the execs

No… we actually talk about Amazon’s shitfuckery a lot. Where have you been?

There’s a pretty big gray area for “participating in capitalism does not equal approval of capitalism.”

That only goes for the working class - the people who are forced to participate in capitalism. Not for filthy rich musicians.

And this is music, not war.

There is no aspect of our enforced existence under capitalism that is free from it’s insidious influence - and that includes music.
