      It’s called DANCE FIGHTING, and West Side Story taught me that it’s dangerous enough to get the cops involved

    “Oh so you think asking about Tiananmen Square is a gotcha???”

    No, I think it’s just an incident that tankies literally can’t help outing themselves as fascist bootlicks over. That’s why it’s so useful - it’s an obvious situation where the bare minimum response is “A massive overreaction by the Chinese government that resulted in the butchering of protesters” and 95% of tankies respond with “CIA COLOR REVOLUTION DANGEROUS STUDENTS THE PEOPLE’S BOOT WESTERN LIES”

    Toro, toro!

    My God man

    Usually the tankie nonsense doesn’t really bother me. This one got me. Idk, maybe the boycott of .ml is the right idea. This is basically the same as not wanting to have anything to do with the openly nazi instances.

        It’s being considered at least.

        Just posting in case you missed it.

        I’m also strongly considering switching if it happens. Will see what apps are available and how it compares to Lemmy. If Lemmy instance blocks blocked instances with all of their communities and users I’d likely just stay, but blocking the instances from my side still allows me to see hexbear and .ml users all the time, so it’s useless blocking.

    Or… Hear me out… The authoritarian fucks simply massacred the civilians that dared to oppose them.

    Occam’s Razor here. The simplest answer is usually the most correct.

    Comrade needs some reeducation. The current narrative is that Deng just suppressed a bunch of radical Maoists who wanted a new cultural revolution, thereby preserving fragile relations with the west after Mao’s death and ushering in the new era of Chinese prosperity we have all come to love.

    An attempted color revolution led to Fairy Godmother trained Ogres fighting the PLA in pitched street battles.

    Despite immense provocation including negotiators being burned alive by Shrek and a tank being stolen and fired by donkey, The PLA showed restraint unlike anything Western militaries have ever demonstrated.

    Subsequently, a thinly sourced atrocity propaganda campaign was plastered across Duloc media.

        If I had a nickel for every time I saw a ‘leftist’ on here mocking ordinary folk for getting involved in national protests, I’d have a few dollars. Which isn’t a lot, but is more than I have any business getting from people who claim to be fucking left-wing.
