Lemmy.ml is also one of the worst offenders spreading authoritarian propaganda for the CCP and Kremlin. I hate Lemmy.ml
Examples?
I occasionally see this argument but not yet seen any evidence to back it up.
Same here. I discuss a lot with .ml and besides dumping on capitalism a lot (and rightfully so), I havent seen anything supporting this claim either.
Propaganda isn't obvious like that, and the core of most propaganda is truthful. Generally speaking you need to look at the big picture and what key actors want to be able to see probable propaganda.
They'll never say "the CCP is great and Taiwanese people don't deserve freedom," but they undermine people who would defend Taiwan and help shape things so an attack is more likely to succeed (e.g., supporting the Kremlin's attack on Ukrainians).
Not really interested in discussing it more with a Lemmy.ml user. I've seen too much bad faith engagement and don't want to waste my time. Apologies if you're actually sincere.
I don't understand what you're trying to say
its pretty clear. You're conversing with a tankie.
My guess is it's actually an LLM.
How am I to tell who is a tankie, vs a wumao, vs a Russian bot troll? It can be hard to tell who is commenting in good faith.
I'm kidding, of course. I just block them all. No one using these talking points is worth my time.
Why engage with someone who uses a complete hyperbolic strawman like this
More lies from lemmy.ml, no surprise. The people of eastern Ukraine want to be part of Ukraine. Even the Russian speakers in Ukraine want to be part of Ukraine 2:1.
Gotta love tankies unironically parroting Putin's disinformation.
do you have any proof of this?
I assume I'd have to hack into the CCP's computer networks to get proof.
what's the point of making things up like this, then?
Wow, personal attacks from a lemmy.ml user, truly shocking.
i didn't make any personal attacks, and i'm on kolektiva
Don't waste your time, that user is delusional.
You essentially called me a liar, that's an attack.
if you think I violated a rule you should report it.
