I can’t wait to hear about Spez’s new 5-year plan!

Based on that one sub he used to mod, he and Mao might have something else in common. At least a Spez 5-year plan only risks causing a content famine.

America Also Bad!

Seems like they usually leave out the “also” because apparently two things can’t be bad at the same time. Wouldn’t it be great to live in a world where only one thing is bad? I expect it’d be simpler, at least.

I mean, China fucking sucks and is a shit authoritarian statist government but let’s not pretend America hasn’t done similar things.

Ever heard the stories of how America won the right to unions?

  • Columbine Mine Massacre

  • Ludlow Massacre

  • Thibodaux Massacre

  • Battle of Blair Mountain

  • Herrin Massacre

Hundreds of people killed in total because they were protesting.

The difference in outcome is that back then the technology was more of a level playing field.

Can always rely on there being at least one person … “but the USA did XYZ.” Doesn’t change what happened in 1989.

No it doesn’t. But the same people who whine and cry about people using whataboutism in favor of China do the EXACT same thing in favor of the US.

They are both shit. Everyone is tired of each side pretending that only one side is shit.

The one they replied to may have been criticizing “whataboutism”, but it could also be (mis)interpreted as implying the USA has not had similar problems.

Well, the citizens they killed were literally firing on them and killed around 150 soldiers. Meanwhile the military for the most part did not have guns. Not saying it is justified even then to use military force on striking workers, but a hell of a lot more justified than western media claims. Oh yeah, and literally no college students died that day, as well as nobody within a mile of Tianenmen Square.

No, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don’t like that one either.

The Solidarity movement, started in 1980 as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It finally forced and won a public election in 1989 (on the very same day of the Tiananmen square crackdown) which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

I wouldn’t call the ROG illegitimate since they won the civil war and they are recognised by pretty much every country in the world.

That doesn’t mean I like them more though.

Edit: PRC not ROG lol.

This. Unless your use/purchase directly supports something you disagree with, people shouldn’t be worried so much. Companies and organizations are huge. They are all going to contain shitty people.

If you are on the internet, you have no choice but to indirectly supporting shitty people.

If you are worried about that do actual politics, not this ‘you eat ChikFilA you monster’ type shit.0

Oh I know all about that. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy clowning on tankies on lemmy.ml so hard.

Fun fact: the .ml TLD is officially designated as belonging to Mali; the lemmy devs chose it as an acronym for “Marxist-Leninist”. This caused problems very recently when Mali suddenly re-exerted control of their TLD, where previously they did not take an active hand in its management.

I’ll copy the top comment there, because it’s actually kind of important if you’re at all into web infra or self-hosting:

Using ccTLDs when you have no relationship with the country is just asking for trouble. Comes across as naive and unprofessional, although I’ve seen many serious infrastructure built upon .co and .io names.

i think the Marxist Leninist thing is disputed, It’s just a rumour and we don’t know if the devs chose it for that or they chose it because it was free on freenom
