basically if someone says the us should go to war with China then we should all make fun of him and give him red texts and dunce avatars. and if someone says China is not repressing their ethnic minorities then we should laugh at them and make jokes at their expense. and if someone types a word that is forbidden instead of using a synonym which means the same thing or typing the first letter of the word and the the word word, then you should
laugh at them and make fun of them if you like and through this whole process all the mods should do is punish people who commit real life crimes so basically only themselves and that none of this is ideological on their part they’re just morons as are all of the users. ultimately in a few years most of the people in this subforum will decide they’re no longer into socialism or Stalin or whatever but instead user modified nerf Mavericks again and the mods will ban people in the alternative toy sub forum for liking super soakers instead and calling the nerf maverick users liberals

idk dude I guess I don’t see the punchline in longform posts like this, which is cool, I learn a lot from these forums too. but if it’s not a poo poo post, then it must a serious post, and in these current historical circumstances, who the gently caress is arguing over the uighurs in good faith? modding the debate just enforces the hecklers veto, where you either have to have a phd in debunking us state propaganda or any rear end in a top hat with a cnn article can kill the whole vibe

If doubting accusations of genocide based on a single unreliable source who is recycled into new articles every year is bannable guess I'll be banned then.

Everyone else has said what I was going to but I want to reiterate that voicing support for Israel, a state currently committing a genocide, is not bannable afaik, nor is supporting the usa which has almost completely wiped out the native Americans within its borders.


I thought making cspam a top level forum would mean it had more autonomy but actually it just means we get the dumbest loving mods who don't even understand that they need to gently caress off

the recent Radio War Nerd talked about zenz' (zenz's? idk) books where he cites literal visions from god as his reason for doing things in life. and not like abstract god vibes, he literally thinks he talked to Jesus and Jesus told him to protect Tibet -- wait, no, not Tibet anymore, that propaganda push kinda petered out, now we're doing Xinjiang.

the man's standards of evidence aren't exactly in line with baseline social reality, is what I'm saying.

that being said I do think that bad poo poo is probably going down in Xinjiang. but all the coverage of it is happening for a reason: the MIC wants to gently caress with China and kick off new interventions, and Xinjiang is a good a place to start as any.


anyway looking forward to quoting that post "we're not going to war with China" when we go to war with China

Breadtube has exhausted its supply of right wing weirdos and they realized during the election that punching left has a suspiciously huge audience on the nominal libertarian left

I love the implication that we're all stalinists too lmfao. I think the closest we have is apropos, who is a real communist, but probably the least stalinisty poster here. I tell people I'm a commie in real life when they're not politically educated, because it's faster. But in reality I'm merely a trade unionist or particularly militant socdem. I just seem radical because that's how loving out of touch libs are. It's only in this forum that people constantly accuse me of being a stalinist or a nazi or whatever.
