Just like in USA where nobody ever talks about the endless massacres and the media completely compliant. Those who speak up (eg. Manning) are disappeared into torture prisons.

The things you are talking about are public US record.

Where does the Chinese government admit that they killed protesting students for wanting free elections in 1989?

OP when deciding to post this meme:

Ain't like it was in mid-2023. The tankies mostly stay off of .world anymore, thank the gods.

I left the night of the election, when literally all of lemmy was screaming that a vote for Harris was voting for genocide.

Fucking morons.

Don't worry, now that their favorite fascist is in power, they're [checks notes]

... complaining that Dems aren't doing enough.

I mean, Dems aren't doing enough, but one would think that with a strategy like "ensure the Dems lose" one might have some sort of alternate method for dealing with the consequences of 'success'.

You have utterly and completely misunderstood the goal all along.

The goal was never improving things, or helping people.

The real goal, the only goal that truly matters, is being able to feel superior behind their keyboards/phones , it's knowing that everyone else is evil and stupid and weak, and if they only did exactly whatever crazy idea you had last night in your pot-fueled hallucinations, then everything would be perfect.

But those in power can't admit how wrong/evil/stupid they are, so everybody has to suffer.

It's exactly the same as southern baptists celebrating when a hurricane hits because it's a clear sign God hates gays.

Don't get me wrong, the right is just cruel, vicious, evil, but the left is something almost worst: Hipsters.

This is Lemmy, we believe only in the existence of the 'forget it bean'!

Beanposting, now that feels like an eternity ago...

It's interesting that diplomatic messages said 10,000 were killed. The current Chinese government claims 241 died. Guess we'll never know because they incinerated the APC paste and washed that down the drain.

I don't understand why this is upvoted. This is a shitpost right?

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 11 hours ago

It’s rude that you would disrespect Aru for such a shitty meme
