i can't find this video on f*x's channel, probably fake but i also didnt search very well bc it's still funny and i dont care.

supposedly, the many banned terms were quickly unbanned, but further reading would require being able to read Chinese. which i can't.

for comrades braver than me, here's br*tmonkey's source list for the video: https://pastebin.com/qNQbXyUE

and the source for "letter N was banned" (from the guardian, notorious source of Unbiased™ reporting about china): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/28/china-bans-the-letter-n-internet-xi-jinping-extends-power

it's the "i'm almost enjoying my anger!" mood, the deliberate exposure to things you don't like for the catharsis and/or sense of superiority that's not unique to internet libs, see also 'shit X says' communities that exist everywhere under the sun.

…and liberals once again thinking their votes matter 😎

really just said "nuh uh" 😭 how did you stumble into lemmygrad

[–] JTurtle@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 years ago

save yourself the braincells and dont bother learning anything about "breadtubers". destiny is just another one of them, and you're better off knowing nothing more than that.

from the pinned post in r/TheDeprogram:

We recently received a formal warning from the Reddit Admins that we need to emphasize the following part of Rule #2, (which is really Rule #1, according to Reddit policy):

Use screenshots or an archiving service. If the content is coming from a non-leftist subreddit, please censor all usernames and the subreddit name as well. If you must link to somewhere else on reddit that isn't politically aligned, please use the non-participant (np) variant of the URL. (e.g., https://np.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram)

If we do not want the sub to be quarantined or banned, we need to take this seriously.

well no matter how well they follow the rules i give the sub six months before it gets chapo trap house'd. no good commie sub lives that long after getting so much notoriety.

 

Serious post warning, sleep-deprived wall of text ahead.

Someone who I dare say I respect publicly discouraged joining or supporting Lemmy on the basis of being The Tankie Place, linking this raddle post, a collection of horrifyingly flimsy evidence that Dessalines (lemmy.ml admin, maintainer of the wonderful dessalines.github.io/essays/) is a freedom hating redfash tankie who likes it when the evil CCP genocides uyghurs and bans femboys.

Naturally it all sucks but now i'm investing too many brain cells into thinking: how do you even refute this garbage?

I'm not proud of it, but I was an "anti-authoritarian leftist" too. I unironically said "tankie" once. And if i were told there is no Uyghur genocide, i would react exactly as if they had told me there was no holocaust. To the westerner, China really is as bad as nazi germany and straightforwardly saying otherwise, in their mind, is no different than if you replace Uyghurs with jews and China with germany. When this narrative is so deeply ingrained, how do you fight it? How the hell did I get here?

i really have no idea how to address it when, to them as it once was to me, it is so obviously true that anyone suggesting otherwise is not even worth listening to. these are fundamental beliefs and challenging them is grounds for instant block and report. its not open for discussion. all i can do is hope they find the truth on their own.

i'll stop rambling now and sleep instead. so i wont respond for a while. sorry if theres a better community to post this in i just needed to get this out before i spontaneously combust. good night comrades.

take it from a programmer, folks: knowing how to make computer do magic doesnt equate to general intelligence or automatically make one better at unrelated things like politics. computer shit is a skill like any other that just happens to have a (false) connotation of "high intelligence" whatever that means.

sorry fellow nerds, you aint special. read lenin.
