I received insults
Someone even posted photos of dead bodies
These comments weren’t reviewed, but I was permanently blocked because my political stance is to hope for the reunification of my country. They said I have nothing to offer, just spreading propaganda and negativity.
So other political ideas are not allowed on politicalmemes? That’s not open and democratic.
FYI: Lemmy isn’t a democracy. The Threadiverse is made up of different communities and they all have different rules. Whoever creates and moderates a community (or server instance) gets to choose. It’s not open nor is it a democratic process. They can do arbitrary rules. I’ve been banned for violating rules. It’s like a a party you got invited to. And the host gets to pick the theme. And we have many hosts with all the different instances and communities.
Thank you for being fair.
Yes, Lemmy is pretty democratic - there is literally a “create community” button right at the top, see?
I guess what you mean is that Lemmy doesn’t do “liberal democracy” (which is just a whole lot of liberalism and very little democracy) - but democracy has never been about electoralist spectacles.
What I meant is, Lemmy isn’t governed by the people. It is governed by the admins and moderators. And well… these aren’t really appointed or elected by the users… nor can the people impeach them. And the power doesn’t even come from the people. Most they can do is come or leave. But they’re not really in control of any decisions. And I don’t think they have any rights. So I don’t think it’s any form of democracy. Sure, I can assume that role. But I don’t think this alone makes it a democracy. Most of the demos don’t do that. So their influence is limited and they have mods and admins decide for them… So It is a bit of a weird form of governing.
The PRC isn’t open and democratic, either, so I don’t see your issue.
Perception doesn’t mean anything. It depends on what the population defines as democracy, which can differ between countries due to what they’re used to and their propaganda. China does rank horribly in the democracy index.
“Perception doesn’t mean anything! Except for the perception of western neo-liberals who hate China. Obviously the people of China can’t be trusted to know their own feelings: they’re too propagandized. Instead we should trust The Economist, a nice neo-liberal and western source (which means it’s unbiased and true).”
Can you show me an example of a pro-USA/NATO/Taiwan activist or commentators or journalist who operates openly from Beijing please?
How are LGBT rights in China too?
Pinkwashers are the lowest form of scum.
Pinkwashing what? I’m making the point that these are valid aspects to measure how free the people of a country are. In the USA and many western countries, there are journalists, activists, commentators etc who are openly pro-Beijing in their rhetoric. Are there equivalents in China who would be pro-NATO/Taiwan/USA?
Why are LGBT rights suddenly just something to ignore when it comes to this when China is bought up?
Like I said, pink washers are the lowest form of scum. You’ll be talking about Hamas “throwing gays off buildings” next.
I’m assuming you don’t pretend that a society that Hamas governs would be a free society. Right?
My question remains unanswered: In the USA and many western countries, there are journalists, activists, commentators etc who are openly pro-Beijing in their rhetoric. Are there equivalents in China who would be pro-NATO/Taiwan/USA?
Loool. There is is. Pinkwashing Zionist scum
