What's up with this straight up pro-china and pro-russia stuff on Lemmy lately?

It's not even praising the people of China and Russia, but rather their gov directly.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

Is this some kind of organized disinformation campaign?

This post got brigaded; you know, that thing that the very same people accuse us of πŸ“½

Some of them even broke out their alt accounts, which they use exclusively for vote-spamming. One of them has a two year old account that’s never made a single post or comment. We ban those.

Anti-communist social chauvanists arguing with each other over what socialism and communism are when none of them have read theory and all seem to be allergic to joining an org will never stop being funny. Plus there's one person asking for an upvoted zionist opinion, and when another user linked a zionist comment from a MWoG mod, they got banned for doing so.

Genuinely not sure what the world looks like when viewed through their myopic viewpoint.

CW gross ideation about /u/davel:

spoiler

these people are seriously unwell, absolute nazi bar.

I came across one of them saying I was a degenerate roach in another thread there:

What's interesting is that davel doesn't put pronouns in their name, so that comment is confusing.

Lemmy federation still has a quirk regarding display names. Most instances still have my display name cached like that.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 hours ago

Huh, interesting. TIL!

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

for whatever reason they do show up in the modlog in the op

I had to do a double take reading that comment too, because while davel is an admin, the post did say "moderator"

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 hours ago

Huh, interesting, I never saw that. Maybe an issue with federation?

The stormfront / kiwifarms strategy seems to be to set up shop anywhere that won't ban them, and lets them doxx whoever they want. And there are A LOT of lemmy servers that won't take action and ban them.

The "Every Accusation a Confession" rule of thumb strikes again.

Thank you for staying on top of this kind of shit and exposing them when necessary.

wow this one spawned a hell of a struggle session

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

wait until you see that there there's a ~200 comment thread on the snark comm discussing this thread in addition!

I can't imagine a more useless waste of time than being on a community dedicated to anti-communism. What's funny is when the literal fascists join in and the anti-communist liberals are always surprised that their nazi-bar is welcoming of nazis.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

The australian running that comm has such a predictable worldview

'left right terminology doesn't have a place' - sounds like they prefer the third position.

They're a zionist, but in the mealymouthed 'two state solution' vein, probably due to their shared experience as a colonial occupier.

We liberated them from Fascism, and they will never forgive us.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 hours ago

Checks out. PJ has similar views, the MWoG regulars seem to all roughly orbit around the social chauvanist viewpoint. Essentially, SocDems that really like NATO and the IMF, they just want more of the spoils of imperialism while maintaining it.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 16 hours ago

as always, the free speech thread is full of banned people

Tribalism is a cancer. We dont need it anymore.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Obviously the states have problems, and the EU to a lesser degree, but they at least have some human rights.

The US has big problems with human rights, that start with zionist first rule, and needing misery and oligarchist pillaging to make Americans have bigger problems than warmongering, Israel supremacy, directly corrupt and rigged elections, or "well first they are comming for the others", and I still have bigger problems.

The NATO colonies are even far worse. Democracy means rule by those allowed by CIA, with population programmed with CIA values. The CIA programming, and total capture of politicians, means normalizing the real enemy to the NATO colonies as a permanent friend and master. The only valid elections in entire world are those approved by CIA values. Never any need for evidence of invalidity, you just take State Department/Elon Musk view that "we will coup whoever we want to coup".

Our countries dress pure corruption as freedom. While freedom seems awesome, the freedom to corrupt, lie, propagandize you into oppression demonic evil diminishment of nations labelled less free, and you internalize those wars as a supremacist right instead of the theft of your prosperity simply makes the corruption of democracy too powerful relative to your critical thinking, attention and distractions from your oppression.

Without CIA influence over a country, it can hope to govern itself in national interest instead of CIA allied oligarchy. Russia and China are mostly successful at this. Freedom is awesome, but the powerful's freedom to corrupt will always result in greater overall corruption, oppression, and oligarchism Normalizing CIA involvement in your media and democracy means your nation is doomed, and lemmy defending demonic evil corruption is the direct result of a lifetime of propaganda.

Liquid democracy is easily available with current technology. Already substantially implemented in crypto currency tokens. It's the only real democracy. That people each have an equal share in their country's government, and its revenue/left over revenue, is distributed as a dividend, means making sure there is a lot of left over revenue instead of corruption.
