that guy in the comments he’s an absolute fucking moron for saying “unless it’s a last resort this doesn’t sound like a good idea”

it gets so much worse than that too. here are some more answers from the comments

Maybe I’m paranoid but, considering you’re politically active, I’d worry it’s a honeypot, designed with the intention of bringing you to china on your own volition and then locking you up there.

Even if it isn’t a designed honeypot, it sounds like OP will land themselves in jail either way.

If you already say in advance that you cannot accept the mainland Chinese political system and it’s set of rules, then I can hardly suggest to go there. If you start disagreeing with others publically and become a problem person you will end up in jail rather quickly. Whether you believe that to be rightful/proper justice or not, will not matter.

lies and sinophobic propaganda from the most propagandized people who think they arent propagandized. no wonder they can’t federate with us, they might have to learn something about reality

because you’re not here to learn, but to spread propaganda.

says the debatebro who has refused to learn anything and keeps trying to spread nato propaganda

ah thanks. and now it all comes together.

Off topic, but is this a meme image? Or someone who is well known? I did a reverse image search and came up with nothing.

not let himself seem like he’s minimizing the fear of Jews in New York and elsewhere feel from the threat of hate against them.

Yes, Mamdani should absolutely not minimize the fears of Jews, for many Jews fear being lumped in and associated with the hate-group movement known as Zionism. It is important that he make a clear statement on the distinction that Jews are not Zionists (not by default, though sadly some Jews have bought into the Nazi-like cult of Zionism) and Zionists are not necessarily Jews. It must be reiterated that Judaism is completely distinct from Zionism, the Nazi-like fascist cult, and to conflate the two is deeply antisemitic. Mamdani would do well to make it known that he will not stand for this kind of slander of the Jewish people and that he will do whatever he can with his powers as Mayor to prevent any such attempts to further smear Jewish people with the Zionist label. Mamdani should remind all of New York City that Jews are lovingly welcomed, but the antisemitic Zionists shall not be tolerated.

I wonder what old Bernard’s reaction would have been if Mamdani had responded to him with something like that.

Why yes, yes I do think Linux was originally created by a Finnish person. This is the comment you said was “dead wrong”:

You’re on a platform made by communists, there are a lot of us here.

This is not “dead wrong,” this is a fact. One you’re tried (and failed) to deny so now you’re moving the goalposts. It’s so fucking obvious I don’t know why you would want to keep digging yourself into a deeper hole. It’s funny to watch, though. Lemmy does not just “happen to be federated with communist communities.” Lemmy was made. by. communists. And now others, including some right wing dipshits (not unlike yourself), are using it as well. The complete opposite of how you were trying to paint the situation.

Do you think FOSS means the software magically appears without anyone creating it? You do, don’t you, you fucking idiot. Lemmy, the open-source project to make a reddit-like social media platform was invented and coded by communists. This is a well known fact. But you have made it very clear you have no problem denying reality so long as it fits your cringy, simplistic beliefs.

I just saw this comment. But you… you are the one who shit your pants, but thankfully the mods removed your comment so we didn’t have to keep hearing about it. You can’t even follow what’s happening in a thread. /facepalm.

“I shit my pants and I still think it smells good! Stop clearing the room of my stench you commie SOB.”

Wow… what a great way to own us.
