Posting something on a private platform is actually not public. It is the private property of the platform owner and they can make it public or private any time they want or find ways to commodity it in their terms of service when you sign up.

I say this to back up what you say about the myth of the digital commons. Most online networks are not a commons at all, they are the exact opposite, they are an enclosure to extract profit from what would otherwise be a commons, usually built by finance capital to have appealing features at first, generated at a loss, and then once profit needs to be taken the alleged “commons” is increasingly closed and monetized. Journalista don’t really understand this, sure, but neither do most people. They expect, correctly, that social interactions should be analogous to chatting with someone on the street or at a public square, and social networks try to give that illusion.

Regarding individual choice, well a person is surrounded by the exact opposite of what we are saying and all their friends are on their addiction habit social networks so what would you expect them to do. These things don’t just happen on their own, people must work to organize and educate on the way capitalism turns their social lives into profit.

Literally the prison system inherited from the tsar but downsized and with improved conditions.

Go read a book.

One large Howitzer shell would at least disable it.

Do not fall for the Fourth Reich Wunderwaffe lies. Their military doctrine only works with complete air superiority, mostly killing civilians, small groups of “the enemy” (people defending their country), and destroying infrastructure.

Gulags were just prisons and people regularly escaped from them. The soviets actually dramatically decreased the scale of gulags vs. the tsarist period.

A ‘gulag’ alias should just be a leaky pause or backgrounding or something. rm -rf is forceful denazification.

No

This article aside, Germany arrested, beat, and prosecuted people for protesting Israel committing genocide in Palestine and promoting freedom and sovereignty for Palestinians, including the common slogans for freedom and sovereignty. It similarly bans left parties, justified by making a false moral equivalence between their genocidal Nazi past (members of whom were then wrapped into West Germany’s government) and the communists who defeated them.

Germany does not believe in freedom of speech nor are its restrictions morally or socially valid. It serves capital and will use every lie and trick and violence necessary to make this legal and publicly acceptable. They’re currently in the process of making VW work with Israel to produce weapons during overt genocide. No real state restrictions there, eh? But they will surely continue going after the protesters.

Both countries are run by ML parties following revolution and would therefore be designated both socialist and communist based on like 100 years of precedent.

Depends on which instance is doing the removing but around here it’s usually just racism and orientalism getting removed on this kind of post.

Just baby level ad hominem

You would probably appreciate developing direct personal connections. Could be irl or on the internet, just not super anonymous text based stuff like Lemmy.

Humans are a product of their circumstances, they can change over time, there is diversity within a community. Overly broad brushing can lead to a despair like you’re describing and it’s good to remember it’s not accurate. At the same time it is good to be aware of tendencies and patterns because the risks you mention are real in various pockets and subsets of society. The best protection against them is relationships with everyone else, and particularly those who are opposed to and organize against, for example, fascists.

Straight into the trash

You haven’t listed a single genocide denial. None of these are genocide denial.

For example we objectively know that most of the claims against Stalin were falsified. Not to say he was perfect but even the CIA admits they falsefied it.

Literally nothing about genocide.

Salvador Allende was a great democratic socialist who supposedly did everything right and look what happened to him

Literally nothing about genocide and you seem to completely misunderstand kittenz orientation to Allende.

Obviously a reply to someone telling them to stop talking.

So you have nothing. I think you should take some time to ask why you are so confident even though it really seems that you are having difficulty reading and understanding what’s in front of you. I don’t mean the latter as an insult, it is perfectly fine to not immediately understand something. The issue is that you act very certain about a topic where you are actually uncertain.

exercises in Japan, Malaysia, Philippines

China has zero military exercises in Japan, Malaysia, or the Philippines.

that is indeed my inquiry…

You can’t name them you just demand evidence to the contrary vaguely.

Jorunn did

Except they didn’t. Those screenshots don’t show any genocide denial.

I fail to read China or Uyghurs anywhere in the screenshots. Could you show me which one I am missing?

I already did in another comment it’s just them saying they don’t think there’s scholarly consensus. Why does everyone else have to describe what kittenz actually said but you don’t? Produce actual quotes not screenshots that don’t deny genocide.

PS you are messing up the quote feature.

None of that has kittenz denying a genocide.

It’s hard to say I think this person is deeply confused

It’s impossible to competently read those screenshots and come away with the idea that, say, kittenz is “denying genocide” re: Pinochet. The others are similarly ridiculous, they just don’t mean thst at all.

Instead of gesturing to a post with like 10 screenshots of text, why not quote kittenz and say what you think is genocide denial.

???

The accusation of genocide denial had no specific context given so you just have to guess. These are lazy anticommunist liberals they gobble up invented genocides when it suits the narrative of their masters.

Unless you can specifically ground exactly what genocides were denied? Show the posts and comments.

Well, right now PRC is still aggressively demanding shores and sea routes of other nations.

Your link is just to a Lemmy search but I’m guessing you’re referring the SCS? And China isn’t really demanding the SCS it just plain has it.

I have seen some documentaries on mistreatment of Uyghur

That is just another link to a search on YouTube, not a documentary. But there was a concerted effort to produce spurious reports and manipulative documentaries so this could mean almost anything in terms of the accuracy of what you watched.

but I am talking about kittenzrulz123’s own genocide apologetics which lead to their removal in 196 as moderators.

Are you? You haven’t listed them and the only implication so far is that it’s being minimally media critical regarding accusations against China’s treatment of Uyghurs. A position that is correct and that I already explained can be twisted in bad faith to be labeled genocide denial. Why are you just repeating things? I already responded to this!

Am I lead to believe kittenzrulz123 would dismiss others concerns of genocide?

???

One thing to consider is that the people you’re describing as accepted are fundamentally already in the in group that is oppressed - gay or bi. Chasers are basically universally cis men treating trans women as a fetish object. The dehumanizing aspect is different when it is in no way self-referential and when the basic identity is what is fetishized.

Another way to think of it is that for a group of people oppressed in their societies, one of the few ways those (cis) societies “value” trans women is as a taboo sexual fetish, often an exploitable one.

This does relate to gender in that these societies are misogynist and treat women’s bodies as available for purchase in one way or another, plus a long ladder up to that actual act - simulation, imagery, drama, etc. The act of “acquisition” is gender biased in the extreme and coincides with the impoverished of women, and not coincidentally trans women. What is the value of a woman?
