That's the absolute truth.
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
and a surprisingly bitter pill for so many to swallow; it tells you instantly who has been chugging the propaganda kool-aid and they get smug about it when you try to point it out to them.
Genuinely asking, why are there a lot of “China good US bad” posts on lemmy? Like is it Chinese citizens posting this, pro-communist westerners? Bots?
I ask because when I see pro-capitalist posts elsewhere I assume they are bots or Americans that watch too much Fox News.
It's just communism isn't vilified around us like it.was, still is, around you your whole life
to break the monotony of the deluge of china bad propaganda articles that infest all of the western internet?
China gives us hope that multipolarity is coming and that our countries can also develop and lift millions out of poverty
There are some Chinese users, but the majority are just communists from different countries, not neceessarily western ones. Lemmy was made by communists, so there are more of us here.
book recommedation: No Escape by Nury Turkel
Nury Turkel is an American attorney, author, public official, and foreign policy expert based in Washington, D.C. He is a former chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, and former president of the Uyghur American Association.
The UAA was founded in 1998. The UAA has had tax-exempt status since April 1998.[25] Uyghur activist Rushan Abbas played a significant role in the establishment of the UAA. She went on to become UAA Vice President and was the first Uyghur reporter to broadcast daily to the Uyghur region, for Radio Free Asia, in 1998
Very serious person.
Rushan Abbas
Abbas worked as a contractor for the U.S. military aiding in the interrogations of Uyghur detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
Very serious activist activity of aiding the torture of those you're "advocating" for.
Is she the one who made an AMA on reddit about the Uyghur?
No Escape by Nury Turkel
Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares Turkel’s personal story while drawing back the curtain on the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from China.
"Part Holocaust trivialisation and Zionist cold war anti-communist No Escape shares the state departments line..."
Certainly a source.
Personally, I prefer Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation. It's better than that memoir by a Statesian politician, and uses a combination of western reporting and hard empirical data.
Sure, the about page of the collective says a lot about their agenda already but I'm gonna check out the article in detail later.
Yeah it's always good to be aware of the biases and such, but afaik that resource has lots of sources so you can check for yourself
As you should, it's very in-depth and deserves it.
