My comment that got me banned:
Remind me which nations have their capitalists leashed and which nations are leashed by their capitalists again?
Mod’s response:
China Tobacco is so powerful it prevented the CCP from instituting smoking bans for years, all because it pays for the entire Chinese military budget. get the fuck out of here with that capitalist propaganda bullshit, campist.
My response I would have posted:
What in your view is the correct alternative to “campism”?
Also, your counterexample is literally a state-owned enterprise? Doesn’t sound like unleashed Capital to me.
I don’t think there is any rule in the sidebar that could be stretched to justify the ban.
My final thought is:
We share the same anti-imperial goals. I think your side should consider whether you have been duped by the very state powers you live under into hating the nations that should be your greatest allies in the fight.
P.S.S.
I don’t have to agree with everything China does, and I don’t. I don’t think they have a good tobacco policy. I think they cater too much to cultural reactionaries. I think they allowed 996/hustle culture to get out of control and aren’t reining it in seemingly at all.
But if we’re going to honestly talk about China we have to also address the industrial/economic “miracle”, the elimination of homelessness and extreme poverty, world-leading education, and “whole process people’s democracy” (and the extremely high legitimacy it has among the actual Chinese citizenry)
it’s literally a comm about pissing off people who aren’t anarchists, why did you think somebody who wasn’t an anarchist would enjoy the content?
There are plenty of memes on ML’s meme comm that are flamebait, as we all know it generates lots of engagement
I’m not arguing with your decision to post, I’m disagreeing with the content of the meme
Why does that merit moderation action?
moderation? woah woah woah woah comrade, we don’t do that authcom thoughtcrime stuff here. I just disassociated with you, giving you the freedom to seek posting opportunities elsewhere.
I will not argue with your implicit decision not to have a real discussion
The comm literally says no serious discussion in the rules.
Well this comment thread is happening in YPTB, in either case why are you both dancing around the question of moderation instead of just saying what kind of speech you think should be allowed in your spaces?
Not sure what you think I am dancing around I dont moderate anything. Why do you think you can demand serious discussion in any space you enter?
“Demand” lol.
By all means be as unserious as you like but I personally am disinterested
✌️
Seems like you are very interested and are still confused why nobody took you seriously on the anarchist shitposting comm.
