I will never forget that piece of shit Matthew Miller shedding a tear for the poor children of Ukraine during the Russian Invasion and then shrugging and effectively saying " its war stuff happens" when confronted with the horrific massacre of children in Gaza by the Zionist regime.

The Empire is bipartisan.

    We're gonna start cracking down on the rage-bait posting a little bit.

    Honestly a bit of bait is good. I have enjoyed reading the discussions that emerged in some of those threads. I see this post for what it is: bait. You could make less provocative posts but even then some people just want to read it as tankie propaganda.

    Maybe we should create a community called "tankie memes" for when you do want to go all out and trigger people

    Some of the bait can be nice, but in my opinion I think we lean too far into the bait and too far into "dunking." This isn't a condemnation based on civility politics, but a rational desire to focus on higher quality posts and comments for onlookers. Being as edgy as possible can spark constructive conversation in the comments, but constructive conversation can also happen with good agitprop that has a convincing argument within the meme itself.

    Seems to mostly be jank doing it for the rage bait, pre-jank it was definitely more pro-communist but less rage bait focused. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not how I would do it either.

    Not surprising most people who downvoted this is a .world user and piefed.world users

    Fuck you for trash talking Ukraine and Palestine. It's shitty to use the mass suffering of millions for internet points.

    Also, elite rage bait, I've got the grimble grumbles now.

    Wait how is he trash talking Palestine? This meme is criticizing how military actions of the Palestinian resistance are portrayed in the media. It's clearly a pro-palestinian meme.

    It reduces the horrors of conflict down to binary of 'my team good, your team bad' which I get us the point but it's unfair (imo) to equate the actions of oppressed/attacked states to the massively powerful imperial states. Maybe my interpretation is fucked up but my first glance at this meme triggered my bleeding heart.

    Top tier meme lumping Russia with Palestine

    In my opinion, war is always full of crime. You can have crime without war, but you can't have war without crime. If by "war crime" you mean Geneva convention, nobody follows that, either.

    The winner prosecutes the loser, no exceptions.

    Every time I see such memes, I remind myself that lemmy.ml is blocked in:

    • China (including Hong Kong)

    • Iran

    • North Korea

    It is currently unblocked in:

    • The United States

    • Israel (and Palestine)

    • Ukraine

    • EU

    • Pretty much the rest of the world

    • Russia

    Though I worry about Russia, as they've already blocked Bluesky and at least one part of the fediverse: https://lemmy.world/post/14156170

    (And FYI I checked these regions myself, with a VPN, and then when another external tool, just now).

    Because lemmy.ml federates with the broader Lemmyverse. So if instances like .world is blocked, that same content is visible on .ml so it's blocked too.

    Defederate from us and we might have a chance.

    As of this post, Lemmy.world is not blocked in China. Neither is piefed.social.

    But lemmy.ml is blocked in China.

    In response to:

    lemmy.ml was not blocked because of lemmy.world. Or other federated instances, as far as I can tell through testing a few.

    Liberals love this little factoid because it makes China seem “authoritarian” and therefore “bad” when in reality you can just use a VPN and do whatever you want. it’s (one of the ways) kinda how I get free stuff in the USA and I hate computers you just gotta do a tiny tiny bit of research but I’ve seen in China it’s like an open secret you could prob just get some stranger to tell you how

    .ml was blocked because the .ml domain was blocked due to it being a free domain mostly used for spam (although I'm sure some groups/sites have petitioned and had their non spam sites unblocked). Also things being blocked by the firewall doesn't really mean much on a personal level when we all have a VPN. You clearly don't understand the purpose of the firewall.

    Like what? RT is not blocked for me; I read an article from there once in awhile. Neither is the Russian government website or anything else I can think to test.
