You are yet another disingenuous liar.
While western countries are restricting youth access to HRT, China is establishing a clinic dedicated to providing HRT to trans Chinese teens?
More trans people are killed in the west than in China or Russia
what doubt am i sowing by calmly explaining how international politics work to someone that did not even know OTAN doesnt have veto powers? you cannot even define a basic term like "imperalism" and resort to childish insults. a sad day for western keyboard warriors
unsuprised a NAFO fool would not only but unable to refute my points but also concede their own!
please get off twitter and read books or even the wikipedia article for logical fallacies as you could not argue your way out of a wet paper bag
no but the aforementioned countries are and they have prevented ukraines membership into otan
there is no veto in otan you are confusing this with the united nations
i denounce the violence but i must ask you why do you call it a genocide when the international criminal court has not done so?
you are a disingenuous liar i have said nothing of the sort as there is plenty of proof that many other countries do not want ukraine in nato
russia should not have invaded ukraine, fuck putin, and how is this imperalism?
the only country trying to extract resources from ukraine is the united states
you are arguing in bad faith with this motte-and-bailey fallacy.
me and the OP are putting forth that the united states has escalated the conflict.
united states has provided ukraine with a long-range army tactical missile system that can reach deep into Russian-occupied areas -- or even strike more deeply into Russia itself.
This is without a doubt an escalation, making OP's statement true.
you are trying to conflate this with the statement, russia is responsible for the invasion, which is true.
this is why i said two things can be true at once while you consistently use ad-hominums, strawmen, motte & bailey fallacies to discuss in bad-fath
please do better
Countries around the world are subject to member countries will it does not reduce their sovereignty that is just how this organizations work
The U.S, Germany, Belgium, Slovenia and Spain are all against Ukraine joining NATO
OP never says "NATO made me do it!" if you are going to quote please use actual words said the OP doesn't white-wash OP explicitly denounces it
Do you realize two things can be true at the same time that Russia and the US can be criticized?
And yes, Putin’s war is a genocide, as multiple genocide scholars have expressed.
How is the user apologizing for genocide with this clear comment?
I have always maintained the position that Ukraine is fighting a war of self defense and fighting for their sovereignty. I have always maintained that Putin’s war is illegal and unjustifiable; and that what Russia should do to pull out completely and enact reparations. I have always maintained that I am in complete support of supplying arms to Ukraine, same as any other people fighting against Imperialism and/or Colonialism. I also consider Putin’s invasion justifies the need of a European security pact, although I’d prefer it to be one without the US. And yes, Putin’s war is a genocide, as multiple genocide scholars have expressed.
The user does exactly what you asked the user to do??
you are trying to change the framing with "what about" irrelevant topics, and i already answered you, ill say it more clear
lemmy instances enforce their code of conduct you did not provide any examples other than ones that came to you in a dream of how hexbear's code of conduct were blatently broken
where is your answer about why one community is ok but another is a toxic, brigading one? every one of those communities has screenshots and other identifying information that can easily be used to find the originating comment, post or user.
You dont need current federation as hexbear was "premtively defederated" by lemmy.world so how could they brigade here anyway? you are grasping at straws and still have no proof to your claims
a shame you continue lying hexbear doesn't have downvotes enabled
how can you say commenting on a post is brigading if you have no correlation of the usernames in those posts once again you have made a dishonest claim with no evidence
you are using whataboutism please stop commenting in bad faith to defend your dishonest nature
how is slop any different from !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works or !fediverselore@lemmy.ca or !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ? they all include links or pictures of users the poster deems bad
there is no proof of "swaths of hexbear users" going to brigrade the post go ahead and make a kbin/piefed account and compare upvotes and accounts if you need to
try posting "ukraine has nazis" in !ukraine@sopuli.xyz or "the xinjian reducation camps have been closed for years" in !world@lemmy.world and see what happens
the !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone community just bans you for even having an alt on hexbear
how is what hexbear doing any different from other every other instance?
You are a shameful liar.
Doxxing is explicitly against their code of conduct: "Do not publish, comment, message, or post personally identifiable information about other users. We also strongly discourage posting any personally identifiable information about yourself." They are the only instance that doesn't log IP addresses in their database and scrubs meta-data from any image uploaded there.
Where are their communities dedicated to brigading? There is no actual proof of them doing anything like that, more so it is the most active instance (4.9 million comments) so anyone posting blatant lies like you will be confronted.
Hexbears troll and give personal attacks against either those that start it with them or people who are racist, homophobic, transphobic, or ableist.
PTB this mod has not even read their own sidebar!
Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback
Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
For someone that is engaging in a logical fallacy of appealing to purity with regard to source, where is your source on the political structure of either country?
The substack has listed sources for the information cited, did you see that? They are historical studies and documentaries produced by third parties. I'm curious if you can even find a western-biased source that disputes the factual description of how China's government is structured as described in the link.
What about the Edelman Trust Barometer?
https://www.edelman.com/about-us
Clearly the people of China trust their government and since you have yet to provide a source explaining how their government is organized we can only go with my source which clearly indicated that there is direct democracy
interesting i personally find it pretty inaccurate as is the case with all statements based on personal anecdote when you examine the material actions and political theory of your so-called tankies you can that your meme is just that
Since you are so knowledgeable about China and North Korea could you explain the structure of their government?
For anyone curious here are two short articles outlining the political structure:
The Chinese people trust their government and are able to directly shape it's policy and directly elect their representatives
China does have elections, and for genuine representation, no lobbying or canvassing is allowed.
Following the precepts of democratic elections, “In accordance with the principles of universal suffrage, equal rights, multiple candidates, and secret ballot”, deputies to people’s congresses at the township and county levels are elected by the Chinese people.
These representatives, the deputies closest to the public, make up 94% of the national total, and are entrusted with electing the higher-level representatives. The deputies to people’s congresses at the level of townships and counties elect deputies to people’s congresses of cities; they, in turn, elect deputies at the provincial level, who elect deputies at the national level.
From these grassroots onward, in China, it is meritocracy all the way. Decades of practical experience, usually with increasingly large populations, ensures progressively greater competence, as candidates get the top jobs that require such capacity.
Communist Party of China [...] in 2020, when the draft of its 14th Five-Year Plan (from 2021 to 2025) was submitted to public consultation online for the first time. The general public was able to participate in planning its own social and economic development, making more than a million suggestions from August 16 to 29, 2020, from which over 1,000 opinions and suggestions were incorporated.
yes, you and the two others have proven that if anyone "brigades" it is dronies
how do you not feel shame for your rampant consumption and utter lack of critical thinking?
while you cry to each other about the other China has built more renewable energy than the west combined
no need to display your homophobia and i will stay right here. it took me minutes to easily disprove the "any criticism of China = ban" I'm sure anyone who as any intellectual curiosity will see that you are hypocritical swine that wallow in your treats to distract from your exploitation.
why are you so afraid of hexbear?
You are a disingenuous liar.
Go to the hexbear news megathread and you will find criticism of China:
There are many Chinese hexbear users that discuss the flaws of their country, people that are banned are those that spread misinformation.
Of course the United States = bad there is no modern equivalent to the outsourcing of death, despair, and destruction the great satan exports.
lemmy.world "preemptively defederated as a last resort" you can find their reasoning here: https://lemmy.world/post/2498330 sounds like lemmy.world wants an echo-chamber yet despite whinging about "brigades" there has never been any actual proof that brigades are organized.
hexbear defederated FROM sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca, lemmy.blahaj.zone, programming.dev, lemmy.nz, aussie.zone because those instances were NOT moderating to the standard that hexbear places on cultivating a space for marginilzied people.
Who are you to judge the mental stability of people when you constantly project your insecurities on to those seeking a better future.
