Hello World,
Today, after careful consideration and evaluation of recent events, we have decided to defederate from Lemmygrad.
Regrettably, we have observed a significant increase in hate speech and calls to violence originating from the Lemmygrad instance. Due to the severity of the posts and comments, we are not waiting for the next Lemmy update that will allow users to block instances.
At Lemmy.world, we have always strived to foster an inclusive and welcoming user environment. However, recent posts and comments from Lemmygrad have clearly violated our server rules and, more importantly, our core values. We firmly believe that hate speech and incitement of violence have no place in our community, regardless of personal beliefs or affiliations.
As always, we encourage all users to report any content they deem inappropriate or harmful. No matter one’s stance in any conflict, Lemmy.world will always take immediate action to remove and ban any posts or comments that incite violence or propagate hatred.
We encourage everyone to continue engaging in discussions within the boundaries of respect and understanding. As we move forward with this decision, we remain committed to providing all community members with a safe and welcoming space. We appreciate your continued support and cooperation in upholding our shared principles.
Thank you,
The Lemmy.World Team
Communism good, therefore China good, therefore West bad, therefore Israel bad, therefore dead Israelis good!
What a fucking worldview
Most of them have never spent time living under China / USSR as well lol. I’d like communism in theory, and I still think there’s a possibility of it, but even just in Hong Kong the flaws of the CCP system of “socialism with Chinese characteristics” are very evident — and that’s barely with any of the actual communism in Hong Kong.
Communism in theory is amazing. But it doesn’t take the human animal into much consideration. We’re a highly competitive hierarchical beast. We strive for our personal will to power too much for a pure communist utopia. Basically, we aren’t ants or bees that can pull that kind of horizontal system off.
The idea that humans are fundamentally hierarchical and competitive creatures is just wrong. Of any indiviual trait could be said to be the character of humanity it would almost certainly be cooperation. Practically every hierarchy that humans lives takes a ton of organized forced to uphold, specifically because living in hierarchy is not natural for humans.
This fundamental aspect of humanity was considered by the old comme guys . Lenin, and that. They thought humans had to be FORCED into that system, then eventually “good” communism would happen. I don’t think the at has ever worked though.

This is conservative propaganda. Human nature is entirely contingent on material conditions. Given a hierarchical system, like capitalism, they will act hierarchically. It isn’t rocket science.

You have been told this time and time again, but that’s no reason to actually believe it. Think for yourself.
I’ve spent 23 years living “under” (what an odd choice of word: I’d use “in” myself) China.
What specific things do you think I’ve missed in my 23 years that you know everything about?
Firstly, I never said that I know everything about anything. Anyone who does say that is either lying, or God. Secondly, I have no idea what you know. Thirdly, I picked “under” because China consistently treats Hong Kong and her citizens as second-class citizens. Not as bad as in East Turkestan, but certainly below the likes of Beijing, Shanghai etc. Look at the difference in response between sentencing of peaceful protestors, response to said peaceful protests (notably the Urumqi protests, where the CCP acquiesced to a much smaller group of protestors’ demands in contrast with Hong Kong where the CCP continues to not even move an inch), and how Hong Kong’s Covid policies remains even when China’s were removed.
Israel is bad because its genocidal Palestinians and stealing their land, there’s no 2 ways about it, the land doesn’t belong to them, 75 years ago they were immigrants on a boat an now they treat Palestinians like the nazis did them. Everything I just said is factual. If you support Israel your a fucking scumbag
