Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about “I can’t use muh slurs, this is awful.”

“The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media.” /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn’t far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they’re lying, they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy.

    China is also an Imperialist state, with borders and a realpolitik firmly grounded in ethnic supremacy.

    Worth repeating that line I think. That China is an Imperialist ethnostate, because it is very true.

        I’m not actually sure I agree about Chinese culture, or even the Chinese state, pursuing world domination. It seems to me as if their goal is Imperialist domination of their bordering and nearby regions, and economic Imperialist influence globally. But not outright domination.

        Though of course, China’s current borders are defined by Imperialism, as is its internal policy.

        The ~90% of non-Han residents of the Chinese state are faced with policies exterminating local language and culture, and forcibly Han-ification - Which is Genocide by modern definitions. Xinjiang and Tibet are well-known regions with distinctive culture that were forcibly subjugated to the modern Chinese State.

        Other historical Chinese states that have held influence in this region - Han or not - did not pursue extermination policies in this way. From that point of view, the CCP and its policies are betraying even the Chinese legacy of (semi-kinda-sorta) cultural pluralism.
