Facts are bigotry on lemmy.ml
As if we didn't already know. I didn't know being against businesses using slave labor counted as bigotry, though.

Everyone should know by now that you can't criticize China or Hezbollah, on lemmy.ml.
-
Or China, Russia, North Korea, or anything else that vaguely labels itself “communist”
-
Its not about them being labelled communist, all that matters to them is if they are against the west. Cause apparently only the west can be imperialist
-
Russia is even funnier, given that they don't even do that anymore.

Don't use .ml
-
If you can't criticize the US, Russia, China, Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and every major religion (the religion itself, not it's followers), all in one go, you don't have true freedom.
Authority is inherently evil and should be scrutinized, regardless of which "side".
(Btw I don't even interact with .ml except a few like c/privacy, also the c/news in lemmy.world also have obnoxious mods)

By separating the institution from its "faithful", you risk deboning your own argument before it takes its first steps. Religion is an ancient method of control, and those within it are all peddlers of some form of its seed — unwitting, or no.
No one should have to make excuses for Religion's altogether insidious, pervasive, corruptive and vile existence. Kill every god, utterly. There is no heaven, and none of us get out of here alive. 😘

I have never seen critism of Hamas or Hezbollah being censored tbh
Even US criticism is fine as long as we don't criticize the owner class and their regime whores in government on teevee...
There is a new privacy community on this server, help seed it.

Do you have any source for that "fact?" Like, whatsoever?
-
-
Welp, I can't argue with that. I recall a fellow poster posting on things like this
-
Just DuckDuckGo "Chinese sweatshops". Lots of reading material. You can even find other countries as well!
-

Trolling is when you ask for sources because you base you beliefs on evidence. Not trolling is when you respond to requests for sources with insults and accusations. Fascinating perspective.
Although I guess in reality, it's more like, "Trolling is whenever anyone expresses a belief different from mine in any way for any reason."
-
I'll take that as a resounding "no" lmao.

Facts about what exactly? That there is slave labor in the world?
-
-
were you talking about US prisions?
or do you consider some of the service industry slave labor, which to be fair it is?
-
The post was about BYD vehicles, but I'm happy to discuss other instances where it's relevant.
-
-
This thread has gone completely off the rails. Nobody is discussing whether the ban was deserved and instead there's only insults to the op, or arguments on who's worse USA or China. I'm locking this.
Please stick to judging whether they're mod action was deserved and not rehashing the talking points especially by flaming each other
-
Seems you are confusing China and USA.
-
If it happens in US it's actually a privilege, not forced labor.
Characterizing prison work as forced labor is wrongheaded, he said, because most inmates who qualify for paid work earn that classification based on positive credits for behavior. “In other words, it’s a privilege,” he said, better than some of the other alternatives behind bars.
-
-
Probably slave labor both places.
-
The US has the largest prison population in the world and when measured per capita stands alone as a completely absurd outlier. A country that has legalized slavery if used as punishment for a crime. A country that has private prisons where the prisoners are used to make consumer goods, fight forest fires, and in some cases even work on farms classico style. There's no probably about it at all - the US facilitates enourmous amounts of slave labor and that's not even getting into the resource extraction from the global south that keeps the whole machine running.

Neither Beijing nor Washington, but actually Washington

On one hand, it's ridiculous that campists just can't accept any criticism of their "aes". On the other hand, you don't have to go to the every posts about something positive happening in this hell world to remind that they suck but if you do, I hope you also do the same about positive happenings in the USA and EU or you're just a hypocrite.

Facts are bigotry
There's no facts in deleted post and on my guess there's no bigotry, it mostly looks like trolling or disinformation.
-
its ml, any criticism of china will be censored
being banned there and .world news and politics subs is just normal part of any self respecting shit posters fedi career.
freedom enjoyers setting more communities on smaller servers as we speak. seek them out!
ml and world control too many big subs and they use them to censor opinions that dont fit their propaganda.
this sub exposes how pervasive mod miscondcut is, now we know, time to decentralized. let them keeo their echo chambers
-
Can you actually back up your claim? Or just gonna double down on Sinophobia?
-
Are you the same type of people that claims criticism of israel's genocide to be anti-semitic?
🤔
