China tightens access to Tiananmen Square while 32 are detained in Hong Kong
Don't ever let anyone forget or brush under the rug the horrible acts that occurred in Tiananmen Square on June 4th, 1989.

Lemmy.ml federates with the leftist instance Lemmygrad which is the largest one. If you bring up those arguments here you are bound to get ratio'd. Perhaps you should look for a different instance and post these arguments there.
No thanks. I don't give a fuck about getting ratio'd. Let the people decide. Assuming this platform ever gets more traction, which it seems to be doing, the vast majority of the people that come here won't be tankies so... no, no I don't think I will go somewhere else.
These people really want their echo chamber, not a good look for Lemmy imo
One of the main reasons I've switched over to feddit.de. Hope more instances have the sense to block servers that are openly pro-imperialism and pro-totalitarianism.
@gzrrt @xTechDeath Is it not better to have open dialogues with people who disagree with you, rather than blocking them?
You can't have good faith arguments with cult members, fascists, or tankies.
Because they don't engage in good faith. Right and 'left' fascists don't value truth as anything more than a tool.
That's why it's so easy for them to switch from (say) genocide denial on the issue of China and its genocide of populations in Xinjiang, Tibet, ~~Outer~~ Inner Mongolia, and throughout the (Artificial and Imperialist) borders of the state.
Because they will often come into a conversation knowing full well that what's happening is a genocide. But since their objective isn't to reach truth, their argumentation doesn't reflect the things they know.
It's one of the recurring traits of Fascism- Disdain for reality. The way this trait is shared by reactionary authoritarians like those who run the Chinese state is quite telling about the nature of these 'left' authoritarian ideologies.
The 'left' is in quotes here because these groups are something-phobic, socially reactionary and abusive as often as not.
