They said they are only guilty of “wanting to build a better world”. But really there is no way a better world could come from such a community. It just doesn’t work
browsing through All has so much pro-fascist posts coming from lemmygrad that it drowns out all the other instances. I'm surprised they're even federated by default but we should have an option to block instances from All if lemmy is deadset on federating with them just because they are fascists with a red and yellow flag......
That's all tied under US surveillance. The PRC has its social media operations and tech companies too. Basically everything you hate about the USA, they are doing it too
This is not entirely accurate, but you are right that they haven't developed to that stage yet of invading countries on the other side of the world, but if the power level gets high enough that's exactly what will happen. USA was also where China is at now and it took a while to get to that point. China has its own version of some of the things you mentioned, and some other things that are not pleasant. Your optimism that China will be a better hegemon than past ones in history is sadly naive.
Actually according to the UN China is still using slavery. I agree China didn't do all the bad things America has done yet, but does some and will do more. It's the nature of power and wealth. China is already exploiting foreign lands, as I live in one of them. There are other inaccuracies in what you wrote but this much suffices.
I did not claim anywhere what you wrote in your second paragraph. Just throwing out "white western chauvinism" is absurd. What kind of nonsense is this?
Stop fetishizing and othering China by claiming it's exceptional and angelic. It's just a normal country like any other and the issue is not China's rise, it is what its politicians will do after the rise that's important.
Your whataboutism is pretty useless. China also uses its tech companies for spying. China's mass surveillance program is larger and more ambitious. If anyone has been duped by propaganda it's you.
It was in fact reported by the UN. As for the claim that Muslims approve of the treatment of Uyghurs in China that is false. The envoys you mentioned are not Islamic and do not represent Muslims.
Nobody blocks Lemmygrad because it's "communist", it's because they are nasty to people. If there was another communist instance with a nice community we'd welcome them
