Crazy thought: What if both platforms are bad?

Man on floating whale corpse: "Your boat stinks!"

Man on burning garbage scow: "What?"

[–] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

At least the whale is biodegradable!

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 1 points 7 minutes ago

On a long enough timeline, almost everything is biodegradable ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Just need....like, 27 or 30 million years. Shod be fine.

The fucking side picking on this, and the principles so called progressives and even leftist (being openly welcomed to the tankie side, I guess) are willing to throw out the window just to defend an openly oppressive and abusive state simply because it is "anti-American", as if both aren't pulling the same shit in slightly different variations, is doing my fucking head in.

What will it take for people to realise all states exist to oppress and control the working class for the benefit of the ruling one, no matter who it theoretically opposes? (not a social media fad, that's for fucking sure)

Surely staying isolated from the Chinese populous will help us achieve internationalism.

If you cannot host it, you cannot own it. If you cannot own it, it's not resistant to censorship.

that pic of the woman saying Dumb NWORD , followed up by a rebuttal Dumb Cracker (the latter was taken down by admins) tells you all you need to know about elon musk

I mean it is funny, but there's a chasm between government censorship and whatever xitter is doing.

Has Lemmy just been completely flooded with CCP apologists now?

RedNote ToS includes provisions that require you to post "correct views on history, nationality, state, or culture".

I guess if you believe Taiwan should be "returned" to the mainland, Uhghurs deserve to be "re-educated" and enslaved, and that China is the natural and rightful pre-eminant global power... you're gonna be fine.

I took it as "don't pretend we don't have censorship too"

[–] enbyecho@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Saying "there is censorship here" in no way implies "there is not censorship there"

It's false equivalence though, although with the election of shadow president Musk it's getting a bit more hazy.

Even so, one is an (admittedly hugely influential) private company and the other is the actual single-party government dictating what speech is allowed.

The US has been governed by public-private partnerships for centuries. Trying to draw a line between the industry administrators that get promoted into every crevice of public sector bureaucracy and the elected politicians who depart office to serve as lobbyists and board members of private firms is a fool's errand.

Do we celebrate Chris Dodd the Senator and denounce Chris Dodd the chairman of and chief lobbyist for the MPAA? Do we applaud Hank Paulson the Treasury Secretary and denounce Hank Paulson the CEO of Goldman Sachs?

Americans seem to have no trouble drawing a straight line between Singapore-incorporated ByteDance and the Chinese Communist Party. Why can't they see the connection between Howard Lutnick or Linda McMahon or Betsy DeVos or Elaine Chao and the businesses they own and operate?

And this here is the exact reason im on lemmy.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lemmy.ml: Comment removed for rule 1. Banned from all communities.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I knew someone would mention it but on lemmy if youre banned from one instance you can just use the other 200 instances

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 10 points 1 day ago

Aye of course, just poking fun that it's not always free from the same bullshit here too!

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Don't pretend we're free to post literally anythere here, either. There's rules.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 8 points 22 hours ago

Its kind of a choose which rules you want. You have to agree with the hivemind but you can choose which one. At least this exposes the communities to each other to mix ideas. While i hate .ml they do have some stuff that is good.

Well, that's how "biased free speech" works.
