You are aware that the .ml doesn't stand for machine learning, right?
Some people made an account there right in the beginning of the Reddit fiasco before there were any viable alternative instances, like I did. Looking at the age of the account, I'm guessing that's what they did too.
Makes sense.
Yeah it's the TLD for the country of Mali
This weird equivalence some people draw between liking/agreeing with a significant amount of ML work and defending everything the Soviet Union and CCP have ever done....it's really weird
Maybe they know something we don't.
EDIT: JSYK, it's CPC. CCP is the intentionally wrong abbreviation that nazi propagandists use and I don't think that's what you intended.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),[3] officially the Communist Party of China (CPC),[4] is the founding and sole ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC). - Wikipedia
No, it's CCP. I don't call Nazis by what they choose to be called so i will also not do that for the CCP
Don't tell me you think the Nazi party were socialist because it was in their name?
No, but i will not call the CCP what they want to be called. The commies caused china to be what it is. Just because they are auth now doesnt change my hatred for the governing body.
Apologies I misread your comment and thought you were saying the CCP were Nazi's.
Since you mentioned it, i have to ask what's so bad about China now?
Not a big fan of any nation state myself as an anarchist but want to know specifically what you'd consider bad that couldn't be applied to the US or other western nations.
I can tell you what i very very dislike.
I very very dislike the censorship and subsequent propaganda the governing body spits out every time disaster strikes.
Flooding of huge swaths of land? Better post some fake helpers moving one bag of sand with 50 people on douyin.
Tofu Dreg Highrise collapse and people lost their homes? Eh, not my problem. post some fake helpers moving one bag of sand with 50 people on douyin.
96 percent of all citizens earn less than 5 dollars a day? Better spread the big news that we "lifted millions of people out of poverty" everywhere on the internet. Nobody will look up any of the figures and see that people living in the countryside still cannot afford to live normal lives in their home country because they barely make 3 dollars a day.
I can go on.
The worst i hear from the US is that Ohio and Jackson have no clean drinking water.
Ohio because of a train derailment that was directly caused by political incompetence and jackson because of old laws.
But on the US this isnt censored. All news station reported on it. Nobody went to jail for posting tiktoks about it.
The US doesn't send students abroad to intimidate other american students who dare say anything against the republicans.
uh no they send missiles, tanks, and bombs
Nice whataboutism. Did you know that a real counterargument wouldn't be something that China also does?
Also funny that you're only really trying to devalue one of the many things i've said but have nothing else to say.
Which country that spoke bad about the US did the US bomb?
you just dismissed other commies because you don't understand them?
if you're gonna insist on being a nazi, your really should just follow the leader
What are you on about?
I dont think its inately a nazi thing, CCP works better as a shorthand in english than CPC. Plus is there really much of a difference between calling them the Communist party of China or the Chinese Communist party. Usually in these circumstances the shorter option wins. Plus is there even a difference in Chinese? Like I know its a lot looser with this type of shit.
There's a difference if you ask Tankies.
So there is no practical difference and at most ill get a bunch of dipshits with ill fitting ushankas screeching at me... Neat.
there is a literal difference, you just learn all your shit from reddit, youtube, and fox
No, it's just semantics.
China is a dictatorship that call themselves communist. That's it.
again doesn't disprove what im saying.
Correct.
what does machine learning have to do with it?
It's a joke at the domain name for people who think it means "Machine Learning" and not "Marxism-Leninism"
TIL it was picked for Marxism-Leninism
I thought it was just a very cheap domain.
yeah, they used to be free
Flashbacks to dot.tk being a revolutionary act. Thank you Tokelau
I mean not really? I just say that because the developers of lemmy are quite left-wing. I wouldn't even be surprised if it was the reason.
Lemme guess, Holodomor?
Known tankie Robert Conquest
Fuck tankies, but I'll start with the much more pressing problem with Nazis and alt right.
Why not both?
I mean in real life. I've only run into tankies on Lemmy and Reddit but Nazis are straight up infiltrating conservative politics.
I know a marxist leninist at my palestine org
It’s been done before. There’s a documentary about it called The Act of Killing, and a book called The Jakarta Method.
very tankie of you
this post is about removing them from 196. we desperately need to eliminate them, great post. but you sympathize with them when we take it to the next level?
Disgusting.
very tankie of you
You know that's a fascist meme right? And that right now you're celebrating a fascist dictator doing mass killing of civilians just because (alongside the thousands of dead union members, democratic socialists, reporters, human rights protesters and students) he also killed thousands of marxist leninists and their sympathisers
