Seems like a win win. Reddit is fine with it and becomes a site promoting that Taiwan is a country and spreading awareness of Tiananmen Square massacre 1989. While subs return to normal.
Or reveals themselves to be the mouth piece of the CCP if they force removal of Taiwan is a country and Tiananmen Square massacre 1989.
Edit: #taiwanisacountry should be enough. That mere statement has been enough for western capitalists to quake in fear.
Why wouldn’t comrades be for it?
I’m sure they’d also like to see where Reddit stands. If Reddit brings down the ban hammer then they can declare Reddit conquered and declare it their secondary haven.
This is putting Reddit to the test to see where they lie politically. Then comrades from /r/sino can come out freely. I’m sure they don’t like the mention of Taiwan as a country or Tiananmen Square massacre 1989, but it could be seen as merely a false statement for the better good.
And I don’t mean doing this on kbin.social/m/RedditMigration
It’s posting in that manner of adding #Taiwanisacountry #TiananmenSquaremassacre1989 at the end of posts on subs that are protesting on reddit.com. It allows subs to stay on topic like reddit wishes.
No need for hostilities to comrades. This should only be a reddit.com only move.
What? That’s insane. You want all threads to have to mention Tiananmen Square?
Yes.
Thought it would be fun to see with how lot of celebrities upon mistakenly acknowledging Taiwan as a country would profusely apologize so they don’t get canceled by China. Blizzard comes to mind too. I’d like to see what Reddit does.
So every comment or thread is normal just at the end you’d have to write down. So functionally everything is the exact same. People post what they normally do and subreddits can stay on topic. Only the requirement of:
I suggested it to /r/modcoord and /r/save3rdpartapps but the request remains in mod queue due to being a new account after deleting old one.
But, yes for pure potential chaos of the headlines Reddit might make if they ban talks of Taiwan being a country and Tiananmen Squaremassacre 1989 is what I would love to see.
If TiananmenSquaremassacre1989 is too extreme. Then Taiwan is a country would suffice with it having caused Capitalist hungry Western companies to cave to the might of China and grovel.
In China, talking about TiananmenSquaremassacre1989 is LESS extreme than saying Taiwan is a country.
The CCP has brainwashed enough citizens to believe that the government did the right thing in 1989, even if you show them the massacre footage. They think the students were terrorists who deserved to be crushed.
On the other hand, most people in China believe that saying Taiwan is a country would be the biggest crime you can imagine.
well the CCP has effectively incorporated Tiananmen Square into the propaganda. it’s become a part of the national narrative - it was “a conflicted time where there were bad decisions made by both sides and they learned from it and are stronger today because of it.” - please don’t call me a tankie i’m trying to summarize CCP narrative
so it’s not really taboo to talk about in China like people assume it is. same thing with the cultural revolution. I read the “three body problem” series by a Chinese author (really good books, if anybody likes sci-fi) and I was amazed at how critical he was of the cultural revolution
and i checked, and he’s not an ex-patriate or anything… he lives in China and released a book that became internationally succesful that was critical of the chinese government during the cultural revolution
it turns out that the CCP actually does allow some level of critique - because they view themselves today as a different party than existed 30 or 50 years ago.
Taiwan, on the other hand, is a current issue. Personally, I feel bad for the taiwanese that don’t want to be integrated into China but it does seem like an inevitability at this point.
I feel like Taiwan is not a country but that the real government of China is located in Taipei.
Taiwan number 1.
