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)
“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.
You can have it all to yourselves
As long as we dont piss you off so.you come knockin’, right? This whole thing is so confusing. Why even comment in the first place if this is your reaction? I hang with the bears all the time but dont go in there like “why is nobody hating states with me? I specifically commented!” Lmao
I’m not even sure what kind of dance we’re doing here.
J’accuse the mod of banning for questioning CIA propaganda.
No one has substantively addressed that claim, and I’m not interested in participating in communities moderated by useful idiots for the intel state
I thought the Lemmy anarchists were better than that (hence the post here) but it’s looking like not
Decolonization starts at the mind. You know they control all the media outlets and NGOs and think tanks and influencers that you listen to, yet you think you are somehow above their influence
Theres no claim to address, you took a shit post seriously and then wanted to have a serious discussion about it. Thats really all that happened. Do I agree with the post? Not 100%, but its a shitpost, its not here for truth.
I engaged with flamebait and got banned. Caught red-handed doing literal PTB the mod is now retreating to diversionary absurdism and you are running the same playbook as well
“It’s your fault for thinking there should be rules governing moderation decisions” is honestly such an embarrassing take from both of you. It certainly illustrates where everyone stands
What the fuck does this mean? Dude its simple.
Do you not fucken see this? Like if I walked into some place that said “No pissing on the floor” and I walked in there and pissed on the floor, I’m not going to be wondering why the fuck I got kicked out. So why are you?
