Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

yes it is, because it's not china holding the world hostage with their trillion dollar military. they are qualitatively different.
saying tens of millions or deaths worldwide (probably much more) and even more kept in poverty is in equal standing with getting into war with your neighbor for a few months 50 years ago is a wild exaggeration that serves to both sides an issue that has one prominent cause for a century or so rn. we have had enough of it.
it's not china holding the world hostage
I'm not going to play this game with you. The US being shit doesn't excuse China from being shit. Or vise versa. Simple as.

but they aren't. you still speak as if they are two big bad villains willing to nuke the planet.
only one of them is and equating them is dishonest at best to someone subject to the empire and very deflective.

I'm a big fan of using previous baseless conspiracy theories to justify current baseless conspiracy theories.

Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?
Thanks op for 引蛇出洞，although I think most CCP apologists on Lemmy are 自干五 rather than paid state actors. Lemmy simply is not that important as Reddit in terms of natural viewers and AI scrapping.
I do hope those yankie tankies are actually being paid because every penny CCP spent on propaganda is one penny less spent on terrorizing its own people and neighbors. It would also be very pathetic to ideologically devote oneself to defending authoritarian regimes for free.
I also notice a large swing in the upvote counts of this post in the past few days. As our beloved 教員 once wrote, 事情正在起變化.

How do you define "Chinese propaganda" and why do you think CCP even cares about a place as small as Lemmy?
As a side observer, I just see some people being more loyal to China and others to the US. This does happen on a decentralized platform where you can't shut down the other side of the discussion.
Overall, Lemmy remains America-centric and America-dominated on all fronts, so if there's any bias, it's here.

I'm assuming that made sense in your head?

equating them is dishonest
Criticizing one of them on it's individual merits while avoiding comparisons is very obviously not the same thing as equating both of them.
and very deflective.
LOOOOOLOLOL you can't be serious.

whats that mean
It means you frequently defended the IDF genociding in Gaza

I think we have a misunderstanding. I meant legal by international law. It is not legal by international law to target civilians. So no, I do not think it's okay to target civilians, full stop.
But yes this is very much how .ml feels. Twisting words to achieve some sort of propaganda win. Excellent job there.

Again not twisting any words. This is why most think ml does censorship. They come in, say terrible things and when comment removed or banned call foul.
This is what a 10+ comment deep thread and you still can't admit why anyone would think it was poor wording

Well sure you can criticize Trump there. But try criticizing the CCCP, China, or Russia.
I engage regularly there in precisely those discussions.

LOOOOOLOLOL you can't be serious.
then why is it doing to the us "whataboutism"?
it is very deflective to go both sides bad when neither exists in a vacuum. especially considering the context of the fucking world being held hostage by the us.
i find it hard to believe westerners hate china that hard on it's own merits, because it doesn't warrant that at all.
but i do find it curious they always want to remove all context or straight up lie to criticize china, because that's the only way westerners can.

Expect we can see from the mod log the removed comment was for advocating collective punishment.

Again not changing definition pointing out legal doesn't mean people won't get killed.
For the rest is your point you do lots of comments that get removed?

I don't know how to be any more clear this. Using whataboutism is using whataboutism. If I talk about China and you say "but what about US!", that's a whataboutism, because we're not talking about the US. And vise versa. It's a clear attempt to excuse and deflect blame away from the topic at hand and onto someone else.
it is very deflective to go both sides bad
I'm glad you finally understand.

I really couldn't care less. If they want to mod someone for criticizing authoritarian regimes, there's no point in being there. You can't say I didn't try.
