    They’re paid astroturfers and they don’t belong on Lemmy. Why the server admins refuse to police them, I just don’t know.

      Wow, talk about conspiracy theories…

      “Every person who doesn’t participate in Sinophobi is paid off by the Chinese government”

      Like, really? You actually believe that? Was 911 an inside job? How hot DOES jet fuel get??? Is Q-anon real? Is the earth flat?

      If you’ve ever debunked a conspiracy theory, you should reconsider the idea that maybe, just maybe, not everyone hates China. It’s probably more likely than you think…

      Edit: And then they edited their comment to be more defensive instead. Perfect.

        Imagine thinking governments, fascists and PR agencies wouldn’t migrate to wherever people choose to hang out and continue their decades-long campaign to brainwash people into believing whatever is convenient for them.

            PSA: these kinds of threads are a great way to create blocklists of western bootlickers and trolls.

            This you?

            And now you’re defending the practice.

            How about, you and the rest of the dumbasses pushing your propaganda garbage go find another place to peddle it? Like hell?

                First, I will take the compliment with grace.

                Second, this forum deserves a better class of communist. This shit is just intellectually lazy.

                    Nah, this shit is broken on mobile and I can’t see the context of my own comments for some reason. Sometimes when I hit context it shows me random comments under the same parent.

                    But bro you are on the same website having the same conversation I am lmao.

                  Most socialists are people in the global south. Their projects that “tankies” support are actually being done. Most of this “you’re a tankie” shit stems from western chauvinist white man’s burden shit. Call us when you’ve done a successful socialist revolution, until then we’re going to be emulating the ideologies of successful socialist projects.

                  Edit: because lol “the US did a revolution” , read “the counter revolution of 1776”

                    So engaging in violence is the determining factor for determining who can have opinions?

                    That’s great news, because Marx drew pretty heavily from the French and US revolutions when discussing his own revolutionary framework. Where do I pick up my badge?

                    Edit - Just do a revolution! No not that way!

                Bahaha look at you. “Everyone who disagrees with me is a bootlicker/troll/westerner.”

                Edit for the bootlicking troll below: Ahem A straw man fallacy is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

                You don’t understand what a straw man is.

                You’re really bad at this. You even tried to copy my comment and failed miserably! Congratulations, you’re stupid in two languages!

      Can you provide even circumstantial evidence of people like myself being paid, or are you resorting to unhinged conspiracy theories to explain people vociferously disagreeing with you?

        It literally wouldn’t even matter, you’ll just deny it and refuse to concede even the most minor of points because for you, debate is not a means to find truth, it’s a power play. We’ve all seen it countless times. We know your game, your patterns of behavior, and since you do not want to play fairly because you’ll know you’ll lose, you don’t get to play at all. You don’t get to participate in discussions with us, especially not me. You’re isolated to your cult now. I hope you find happiness in choosing genocide.

          Pardon me, I thought you were responding to a different comment (I was replying in my inbox to many different disputes). Seeing the actual context, this is ridiculous. You accuse me of being a paid actor and then say that you have no reason to present evidence of the accusation?

          Let us imagine that I was a paid actor and would behave exactly as you expect. Aren’t there other people reading the conversation? Wouldn’t it be worth proving to them that you aren’t just going on paranoid rants because your ideology has no way to deal with the concept of westerners freely disagreeing with you on these issues?
