  • My point is that propaganda is not necessarily evil. I dislike propaganda from the CCP as much as the next non-tankie. But claiming “this platform is spreading propaganda, therefore evil” is ignorant as best and condoning the other imperialist propaganda at worst.

    What kind of propaganda is the CGP pushing, exactly? Is it with us in the room, right now?

    Umm, that’s not really propaganda, homie. That’s simple censorship. There’s a difference.

    Again: how is this pro-CCP propaganda? Do you understand the difference between censorship and propaganda?

    Sounds a lot more like 'denying propaganda is being pushed'

    Propaganda can be for good or bad. But acknowledging that it is propaganda is a necessary first step in either case for any citizen worth the name, whether a citizen of a nation or the world.

  • My grandfather (Sit Tibi Terra Levis) told us not to worry and that he was alright when he started using a cane all of a sudden, that he was just 'sore'.

    He later found out that he had a cancer tumor that shattered his thigh bone. He was walking on it with nothing but a cane and grit. Tough old guy, gods love him, but it's okay to not be okay.

    It's a lesson I'm still trying to learn, myself.

  • Yes. I already said it was censorship. Again: how is this pro-CCP propaganda? Do you understand the difference between censorship and propaganda?

    If you don't think that suppressing content that goes against a point of view whilst simultaneously boosting content that agrees with a point of view is propaganda, I suppose you must think Twitter's recent developments over the past two years (or so? Time is getting fuzzy) are not a propaganda effort either.

  • The very next thing said in the article:

    The team next looked at engagement to see if this explained why anti-CCP content was performing less well. But it found that TikTok users “liked or commented on anti-CCP content nearly four times as much as they liked or commented on pro-CCP content, yet the search algorithm produced nearly three times as much pro-CCP content”. This didn’t happen on Instagram or YouTube.

    Me, seconds from dying: "Yeah, don't worry about it"

  • Plenty of democratic mechanisms in the USSR, at any rate much better than anything else we’ve had so far.

    Fucking lmao

    For a dictatorship, it dissolved itself quite peacefully didn’t it?

    I'm sure you'd say the same about Pinochet, wouldn't you? :)

    Sadly, attempts at socialism in which workers didn’t take the power of the state, ended up like Salvador Allende in Chile,

    Yes, if only Allende was a dictator, THEN he wouldn't have trusted Pinochet. That was what planted that seed of trust in Allende's heart - not being a dictator.

    like Mosaddegh in Iran,

    Ah, yes, when Social Democrats are overthrown by Western powers, they're good comrades; any other time, they're social fascists.

    like the Spanish Second Republic

    The same Spanish Second Republic which was backstabbed and destroyed by Soviet-bootlicking MLs?

    There's a reasons so much philosophy amounts to "The world is fucked, focus on centering yourself".

  • Funny enough, Death Stranding was probably the first game of his I felt could have used MORE cutscenes.

  • Yeah, I have no problem with Lemmy.world (I mean, my main is on here), but spreading comms amongst at least a few instances is better for the overall health of the Fediverse.

  • He has to play nice with China because they don’t bend over for him like the US does.

    Yes, I'm sure China has been imposing their famously strict safety standards on Tesla operations in China. That's obviously why Musk chose China, after all. Because they don't bend the rules for him.

    The rules already suit him.

    I’m pretty sure it would be illegal for him to have investments in Russia at this time.

    As usual, not the first clue what you're talking about.
