    While I do agree with you, I have to say that the anti tankie posts are getting a bit much, especially since there is a dedicated community for that already. And the posts and comments you provide also don’t even have upvotes sometimes. So please for your and our sanity, tune it down a notch

    These posts make me feel bad for .ml users. They’ve been pretty friendly in my experience.

      You clearly didn’t voice any sort of doubt or disagreement for the glorious nation state known as People’s Republic of China

          How? Most screenshots are of direct live comments/posts, contain the direct link and/or screenshots of the verifiable modlog itself

            There’s plenty of history of sock puppeting and brigading. Don’t need screenshots to look up post histories and the modlogs themselves, either.

              What does that have to do with the constant suppression of dissent the mods and admins of .ml do? That’s probably the bulk of the posts, showing what was removed under that RULE1 catchall of theirs (Which btw is mostly unjustified). Most of the time something is removed under R1, it’s because it was a negative of China, Russia or NK, no matter how right or correct it is.

              Don’t need screenshots to look up post histories and the modlogs themselves, either.

              It’s for ease of documentation and discussion, modlog entries are kind of a pita to dig through once they start getting older, though if you’re determined enough to verify something then you can still do that.

      Most tankies are indistinguishable from normal people if you don’t talk about politics.

      Their news, or world news, I forget exactly, has been the first long time subscribed comm I finally ditched. Anything posted there with a relation to the USA is going to inevitably devolve into ‘western imperialism’, ‘dems evil’, ‘china supreme’ etc. With any dissenting commentary being at best piled on to say how wrong it is, and just as likely deleted.

      Blocking doesn’t solve the problem of the misinformation, Russian/Chinese propaganda, genocide denialism and human rights abuse denials they push

      And also, I’m not making a decision for anyone

        Yeah, like this one dude who keeps pushing this weird political agenda against Marxists as the world slips into fascism because he doesn’t understand the concept of prioritization.

          I’m not against socialism/communism, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’d be happy to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime.

          Just not replacing it with just another flavor of authoritarianism, which is what the Tankies push which is what the current regimes of China and Russia are

            marx was not a statist, leftism is about the destruction of heirachy, just because some idiots think they will be the king to control their pawns doesnt mean that is what the political theory suggests.

                  LMAO, nobody’s been denying what’s happening there, most of us have been saying that Trump would be, at the time pre election, far far far worse for Palestine and very bad news for everyone. And has simply been proven since.

                  Exactly what we’ve been saying is coming to pass, but a VotE fOr HaRRis iS a VotE foR geNoCiDe amiright?

        You can block them, so you don’t have to see their posts (or their comments, some apps allow you to block the comments as well iirc). Or you can move to an instance that chose to defederate with them.
