Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

If you want to give an example of what an .ml mindfuck, being taken out of context and banned is like, congrats you have succeeded.

So you think it's legal to expressly target civilians?

And no one could quote me saying the things they said I did because I didn't.

This is literally what was removed and the entire argument/question. Do you think people are okay targets if in wrong country, and it's yes.

So you think it's legal to expressly target civilians?

Again it was if it's a legal order is it okay for them to kill people or civilians and you said yes. But now that you see it you're not too no I totally meant not if being specifically targeted, but it's fine if they're collateral

Like fuck how does this keep happening, especially from the ones calling ml a shit hole

I think we have a misunderstanding. I meant legal by international law. It is not legal by international law to target civilians. So no, I do not think it's okay to target civilians, full stop.

But yes this is very much how .ml feels. Twisting words to achieve some sort of propaganda win. Excellent job there.
