Maybe that's why you hate it but my annoyance is more at people who reflexively feel they win every argument by calling the other person a liberal because they don't believe that the CCP is a corruption-free bastion of good will and a perfect example for the world to follow.

You can be a communist and still legitimately criticize the CCP though you wouldn't know it from the 4 people posting all the articles and leading every discussion at Lemmygrad

Ehh... I just realized I don't care. I was thinking about how sad it is that people post so prolifically and emphatically to the same 15 people while believing that they're making a difference and fighting the good fight. Then I realized that arguing with them is equally as pointless. I mean this is the biggest thread I've ever seen on Lemmy and it's about why it's so unsuccessful. If people want to have a tiny club where they dictate their specific flavor of communism and call everyone else is a liberal, go for it. I'd call it an echo chamber but it's too small - echoes need some space to generate. Lemmygrad is tiny little groups of people congratulating each other on believing the exact same thing and being obnoxiously insufferable to anyone whose opinions only match 98%. You're cosplay revolutionaries. You change nothing and inspire no one but you sure feel like badasses while regurgitating the same lines to each other.

I'm out

More like if you dont like the 4 prolific posters' personal take on communism. Lemmygrad gets so much hate because a few peoplewithj nothing better to do post 80% of the political content. Every collective (reddit) have their hive minds but Lemmygrad is like a small town church that prescribes exactly what you're supposed to see and think. It's pretty gross.

STOP TAKING WORDS OUT OF OUR MOUTHS YOU FUCKING COCK.

When I was referencing simple minds I definitely wasn't referring to you. Please never deprive us of that wit.

What do I want? I didn't threaten to shoot another country's planes out of the sky if one of their diplomats visited a different country. It sure sounds like the CCP wants your hot war. I want countries to not threaten actions that would result in WWIII in order to double down on a bullshit premise.

I know I'm posting on a server that believes China can do no wrong because they're at odds with American and they even have "Communist" in their political party's name, but the CCP is hot garbage and you don't have to support it just because you recognize that Western capitalism is even hotter garbage. Simple minds see everything as binary with their good guys and bad guys and some very simple minds post here.

Tangentially, I've blocked a total of 4 people on this server and now see almost no world news or Communism posts. These prolific posters/commenters are creating the narratives that get acxepted here as "truth." I know that reddit sucks for its bots and shills but at least you can see a little more than a couple people's interpretations of what the left "is" and who is and isn't a fake or undereducated leftist. Having nothing better to do than post and comment all day long doesn't qualify anyone to be the arbiter of truth in terms of all leftist ideology. There are plenty of people on the far left who see the CCP as a corrupt, violent, controlling, uncaring organization that takes advantage of its citizens (at best) but you wouldn't know it from spending your time on this server.

This settles any debate - if Taiwan were a part of China, surely they could have prevented a plane that they repeatedly threatened from landing there. Paper tiger..

I didn't see in the article how long you can drive on one of these batteries.

Yikes.

Because being a "true leftist" means supporting everything that the Chinese government does?

That's no different than mindlessly supporting Democrats because Republicans are repugnant. You don't have to pick a team, friend. You can want something better than anyone is currently offering.

What's the good kind of camp that you'd be OK with being forcibly taken to by people in bio suits kicking in your door?

If I could make a suggestion, in the future share the link to the article and not the link to the reddit post about the article.
