Wow a post on lemmy denouncing the CCPs actions instead of denying them or even trying to justify them? Thats rare

I plan on actively posting to counter the constant barrage of tankie propaganda that is very clearly an issue here. Misinformation is a very real issue that we face in our society and unless we actually do something about it, it will only continue to get worse.

It is a very real issue so it'd be nice if you'd stopped doing it yourself. Also this is not world news, this is a China news, world news is not whatever the US and its European eunuchs oppose to.

I gave reputable sources for my information. Please enlighten me as to how spreading this news and reminding everyone of the very real Tiananmen Square massacre that occurred on June 4th, 1989 is misinformation.

Here you have a list of different types of media that talk about what happened, in short it was a counter revolution backed by the bourgeoisie where they tried to basically bring back the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and overthrown the dictatorship of the proletariat. I don't think we're going to get to any conclusion because you already seem to have the neoliberal capitalist ideology too ingrained in your mind, which is okay I guess. I really don't care about what you believe, but what I do think is reasonable is that this is not world news. It's always what about, what about with you liberals. What about China, what about North Korea, what about Cuba, but why don't you try and look a little bit under your own rug? Because there seems to be quite a bit of hidden corpses in your back lawn, they smell disgusting and you try to hide it with other countries inner struggles. If the world were to mass shit post like you people do every time an anniversary of a massacre, repression, illegal occupation or invasion, pillaging and destruction of a country, slavery and what not you have committed, every day would be memorial day of the countless atrocities you have committed. Let's be a little less hypocrites, no country is perfect, but the US and Wester Europe are at the top list of the worst, so don't come pretending like you are beacons of democracy and hope. In the Global South, where I live, you are considered butchers and beasts.

Okay, let's go through this slowly and rationally.

First of all, this community is self described as being "News from around the world!" China is a part of the world and this is news from China. This is news from around the world. If you are trying to insinuate that any post involving news from China does not belong in this community then why did you not seem to take issue with this post that was also about China and was posted in this community?

Clearly you take issue with the fact that this news paints China in a bad light, not with the fact that it is about China to begin with. So your claim of "I really don’t care about what you believe, but what I do think is reasonable is that this is not world news." VERY CLEARLY does not hold water.

Let's move onto the next issue that I have with your thought process. You just spent quite some time defending the Tiananmen Square massacre and didn't even respond in any way to the actual news article that I posted which is about restricting access to the physical location and detaining 32 people. This isn't just a post saying "it's the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre" which you seem to be defending.

You also state "It’s always what about, what about with you liberals. What about China, what about North Korea, what about Cuba, but why don’t you try and look a little bit under your own rug?"

I never said "what about" a single time. In fact, this post is not a response to anyone telling me anything so it wouldn't make any sense for me to say "what about, what about". Furthermore, I never claimed in this post or anywhere else for that matter that America is perfect. I even take issue with many of the things going on in America too. However, that is in NO WAY relevant to the news that I posted or the Tiananmen Square massacre.

So lets review, your claim that this post doesn't belong in this community is absolutely ridiculous. You refuse to address the actual article that I posted about and instead just tried to justify the Tiananmen Square massacre instead. And finally, your last point was "well what about under YOUR rug" while claiming that I was the one saying "what about, what about".

Also this is not world news, this is a China news,

Is china not part of the world? lmao

I’m not saying there can’t be news about China, what I’m saying, and I’ve seen this a multitude of times, is that there is something that Usonians and Europeans do a lot, is that they post news about their countries as if they would be the world. In my book “World News” means something the entire world should care about, not just the Anglosphere and Europe, the description seems just a silly thing to put as a placeholder, at least that’s how it has always worked in this community, news that the entire world cares about. It is a good rule that something global would involve at least 2 countries, or some event that it is really worth mentioning, like a natural disaster in some country, etc.

A simple glance at the news articles being posted here is a direct contradiction to all of this, where are you in those those threads?
