Everyone, there has been a lot of miss information about what is a tankie and the ability for the lemmy community to criticize the Chinese government.

I present to you a simple test to see if the person you are talking to is trust worthy.

Ask anyone to say the following

I lemmy user Denounce the terrible treatment Xi Jing Ping has inflicted upon the Uighur Muslims. Slavery and concentration camps in China are wrong and not ok.

The admins of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml will not say this. Actually they cannot say this because they are probably employed by the Chinese Government and would be put to death if they did.

Thats all and happy posting!

    iron fisted authoritarian regime with no freedoms at all

    Tell you hwat, I think it’s sad how many people doesn’t see how close the west is to that description. Like come on, have the last few years not shown you that there are no freedoms in most western countries - Only temporary permissions?

      You’re delusional if you think people in China have more freedoms than westerners. Read a book that isn’t Little and Red.

        That’s not what I wrote at all, if I experienced such a dissonance between what was written and what I was able to comprehend I’d contact a doctor for a cognitive test.

        Alternatively, if I found I was using such a basic debate technique as the strawman attack I’d still seek help because that shit is embarrassing.

        Until then mi amore!

          Lmfao you’ve been shilling for the commies everywhere in this thread, just because I didn’t use the exact words you did doesn’t make it a strawman. 2014 called, they want their inaccurate call outs of logical fallacies back.

          Do your handlers give you a script or do you get to improvise?

        Over 90% support for the CPC (with 10% of the population being members) compared to abysmal approval ratings of govs in the U.S.
