Yup! I had a comment removed from lemmy.ml because I said something nice about the USA. I had another comment removed because I said something not nice about CCP.
What did you say?
According to moderators, even using the word "CCP" makes you a racist orientalist Nazi.
If that sounds like the neolib tactic of calling all criticism of Israel (or even the Netanyahu regime) "antisemitic" that's because it is.
That's not what they said, though, and that's not what you said either. I understand wanting to make your case, but you understated what got removed and overstated the reaction, which was just a removed comment and a 1 day ban for Orientalism.
You didn't critique the CPC either, unless you think calling for death is critique.
If you stalked my comment history, then you're being extremely selective and disingenuous, or very lazy.
"Death to Amerikkka" is not a critique either. But it is allowed by moderators. Do you condemn that equally?
A political party is not a race.
Death to the CCP.
To quote @[email protected] : Reporter, please learn the difference between a people and a state.
Nah, I just checked the modlog against your name, I didn't stalk it.
I didn't say "Death to Amerikkka" is a critique, you said critiquing the CCP gets you removed, but you didn't critique the CPC as evidenced by the modlog. I think it was more cringe than anything.
So in worldnews, being cringe is bannable if it's against the CCP but not the US.
I also paraphrased an upvoted comment on this subreddit that calls people who call it the CCP a racist Nazi.
And you don't think orientalism (the real kind) is also racist? That's a weird nitpick you tried to employ.
No, I think trying to deliberately provoke mods is cringe.
Either way, you specifically equated racism to nazism, when I pointed out that you were specifically called racist, not a Nazi.
I do think you should call it the CPC, as calling it the CCP is Orientalist.
Because Chinese Communist Party is language that puts an emphasis on the ethnic background, whereas Communist Party of China puts an emphasis on it being a party of the PRC.
How is "Nazi" an ethnic background?
And official literature calls the CPC the CPC.
Thatβs enough trolling for today, which ironically was what this post was about.
