Why are we fighting culture wars when the real enemy is Reddit and non-free social media?
This infighting seems unproductive and frankly a waste of time.
Tell this the powertripping bastards at lemmy.ml, trying to censor everything that is not 100% aligned with their extremist views.
Yeah that’s a rupe1 violation and a ban for you
Such as? What extremist views?
I like pistachio ice cream
Russia and China are beacons of freedom and prosperity, and everyone should emulate them
Well, China is a “beacon of prosperity” by any objective measure. I’ve not seen anyone there make the other claims. Though they do debunk a lot of the anti-Russia and anti-China propaganda, they back it up with facts.
by any objective measure.
Does that objective measure also happen yo include freedom of press? Because boy i have some news for you…
they back it up with facts.
Revisionist facts? Whose alt is this?
What is extremist about that?
This is Lemmy, nothing here is significant enough to be part of a true culture war.
Also, this community is for memes so maybe don’t take it too seriously either
I’m not going to say it

JUDEAN PEOPLE’S FRONT!!
There, I said it
My dude this is the Peoples Front of Judea territory
This infighting seems unproductive and frankly a waste of time.
as opposed to what pressing matters the community has on our plate?
We’re fighting the same people — fascists. These ones are just cosplaying as leftists
Reddit and other non-free social media is the result of capitalism, have you considered similar negative effects would occur if the opposite world view was in power?
Reddit is part of the culture war. Lemmy.ml is part of the culture war. Lemmy.world is part of the culture war. Everything is part of the culture war.
As if lemmy.world isn’t a total pile of shit
I’ve never been banned from lemmy.world for describing my own experience when I was in Cuba 🙃
Me neither, but I have never been to Cuba.
/j
I like it there. The people are nice and welcoming and the beaches are phenomenal. The pandemic absolutely rocked the country. I came back after the pandemic and there were rolling blackouts, not enough protein, even more limits on food options.
They had a big revolt and protests against the gov over the way they handled the pandemic (see articles on Wikipedia for more context). I explained this revolt as told to me by my bus driver. That got me banned from Lemmy.ml (in a post asking what’s going on with Cuba).
Even in this thread if you see some of the replies here, there are lunatics claiming everything I said is fake and that I have ulterior motives. I’m shocked lol. I’m just a dude from Canada who went to Cuba a couple times on holiday.
.ml or Cuba?
I was banned from !world@lemmy.world simply for asking for evidence for claims made about China.
got a link to this? would love to see context
Don’t need a link. Uighur “genocide” 99% cited is Zenz, founder of Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a U.S. “communism bad mkay?” think tank. Mostly propagated by BBC, fuelled by the crumbling and sore Brit empire.
China has plenty of problems. Xin jiang ain’t it.
Ditto
Lemmy.world communities will ban for pushing back against the western narrative, and pointing out their struggles are due to illegal sanctions, and not any failures of communism. Lemmy.ml communities won’t tolerate the willful ignorance.
Not the flex you think it is.
Willful ignorance is me talking about my lived experience when I was in Cuba? 😆 go outside.
“I went to Gaza twice in the past six years and the beach resorts were utter shit.”
Not understanding the context of that experience is willful ignorance. Read a book.
If that’s your gold standard for a pile of shit, have you considered that you’ve been fooled to be content with a polished turd?
Lmao I’ve physically been there twice in the past 6 years and seen how things are with my own eyes.
You and your delusional friends will never convince me that my own lived experience is a lie haha. What a waste of your own time and energy.
You have physically been to a website? And you call me delusional? I was talking about lemmy.world, but we could always talk about Cuba as I’ve been there too.
Edit: I don’t think I will actually bother with this. May your understanding of the world surpass your understanding of context. Good bye.
And you are sure you weren’t given a staged tour that has nothing to do with the reality of most people?
When I bought cigars factory made, smuggled out and sold in shacks in Havanna I doubt it was part of the staged tour - Considering the staged tour was in the factory itself and we were told it was strickly forbidden to buy cigars straight from the factory workers. So we became friendly with them instead and met up after they finished their shift and went to their home shack where we had dinner together, dealt Cohibas and Romeo y Julieta and talked about how life in Cuba was.
But why ask? Have I even said anything about Cuba in this thread beyond that I’ve been there too? Perhaps you’re just an idiot?
