The difference is that I don't get banned/censored on western instances for criticizing Trump or US military interventions.
You don't get banned on hex, grad, or ml for it either, either. People should really check the mod logs a few times daily.
I've gotten banned and censored from communities there for saying that Ukraine should fight back against Russia.
Unfortunately for you, the modlog is public
Yeah so check it.
You were temp banned, usually those are for a few days for the person to cool down. The removed comment was part of a chain advocating for the collective punishment of russian civilians
Where did I say civilians? That's just the pretext they used to silence any words against Russia.
In the linked chain, repeatedly.
It's amazing how many don't see people as civilians simply because live in the wrong spot
That is untrue. I never said it. And for the record I only believe in hitting military targets and those of politicians and military officials involved in the war.
Also I think you are cherry picking. They have censored me more times than that. Maybe it was on my now defunct lemm.ee account.
Ok. Anyone can easily click the link to verify that you're lying, so I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.
Yes they can see I did not
So, again, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by lying about this.
What do you think people need to be punished implies?
Asking as have seen way too many say it totally only means the bad ones especially when talking about areas they believe everyone in the area are fair game
You conveniently missed these:

mod Banned realitista @lemm.ee from the community Technology reason: Rule 1 expires: 7 months ago
mod Removed Comment More like someone who lives in a country that survived communism and the oppression that it brings and who would never go back. Why don't you guys move to China or North Korea (or inexplicably Russia which you also brigade for). Try living in the utopias you brigade for? by realitista @lemm.ee reason: Rule 1
mod Removed Comment You should pop on over to North Korea and tell us how great it is there. by realitista @lemm.ee reason: Rule 1
mod Removed Comment .ml is leaking again. by realitista @lemm.ee reason: Rule 2
mod Removed Post Elon Musk is named after a character in a book written by a Nazi, Werner Von Braun reason: Video link
mod Locked Post Elon Musk is named after a character in a book written by a Nazi, Werner Von Braun
mod Removed Comment That's a false equivalence. Every country is imperialist if you go back far enough. My concern is about today's political and security situation, not that of 200+ years ago. by realitista @lemm.ee reason: Rule 1
All I see here is hurt feelings for rules enforcement
I really couldn't care less. If they want to mod someone for criticizing authoritarian regimes, there's no point in being there. You can't say I didn't try.
All I see here is a temper tantrum
Maeve:
you clearly didn't want to be there and were making it everyone else's problem so I don't see what's wrong with banning you
I can't confirm, but the message makes me think it's because the community doesn't allow video links as posts
Elon Musk is a nazi, I don't think anyone disagrees, but it was because the post directly linked to a video rather than an article that it was likely removed.
You were minimizing past genocides of indigenous people simply because those have already been completed. You deserved the ban, and it was temporary.
That's a US military intervention.
criticizing trump or us military interventions is pretty much all i do on ml, grad, hexbear
i eventually leave or get banned from the anarcho lib comms for doing that.
Well sure you can criticize Trump there. But try criticizing the CCCP, China, or Russia.
we have reservations about, and criticize them all the time.
what i don't really see being tolerated is insistent propaganda talking points or trolling, and even then most will talk to you if you are reasonable.
Insistent propaganda talking points and trolling are tolerated if they are from the Russian or China/CCP perspective. Honestly that's about all there is on their news or politics discussions.
communists will mostly discuss communism and related
Well that would be all well and good if you were discussing communism. But you are simping for authoritarian regimes that are not at all communist such as Russia. There's a word for that, it's "tankies".
russia is not communist! genius geopolitical analysis right there, you are correct. beyond the strawmen, you simp for the us empire. there's also a word for that, it's "fascists".
You can criticize them as long as you aren't doing so from a liberal, anti-communist perspective. The genuine flaws of existing socialism are better analyzed by those that actually study socialism and socialist countries.
Ive been banned for criticzing the PRC explictly from a socialist perspective.
You were temp-banned, for dogmatically repeating debunked claims pushed by liberals, in the face of evidence to the contrary. You appear to be free to comment there.
Didnt know it was temp. Thank you
One was more despite the evidence of clear worker rights violations that was argued was fine because the state is "the workers". The second I got called to provide evidence (which sure no probs there) but then silenced lmao. Super frustrating.
What you called "clear worker rights violations," was just the fact that unions are required to be a part of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, and aren't allowed to be independent from that federation. This isn't a violation of worker rights, though, as the only purpose rogue unions would serve is undermining the socialist system, and would be vulnerable to foreign backing (such as from the US Empire).
The socialist state is already run by the working classes, I recommend Roland Boer's Socialism in Power: On the Theory and History of Socialist Governance to get a better idea of how and why socialist countries hold the structures they do. Roland Boer also has a good book called Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners, which is more specifically about the PRC and goes beyond the structures of governance to the more broad system of socialism in China.
Regarding your participation in MeanwhileOnGrad, you should know that EmoPunker cut off the final replies, where they called defenders of Pol Pot "genuine socialists." These are the kinds of posts on that comm, they selectively remove context that makes themselves look worse, deliberately misframe reasonable comments, and the comm itself is run by a zionist. This kind of anti-communist bar is a gathering spot for genuine fascists, but it seems you're fine with participating there.
I'm curious if you have any good video essays, I really enjoy learning while doing things, which is much more difficult with reading, though I have started Socialism With Chinese Characteristics and it is interesting!
Not nearly as in-depth due to time limits (and mostly focused on the Xi Jinping era) but Red Pen's A Summary of Xi Jinping's Governance of China can be a good primer! There's also This is how China's economic model works: Explaining Socialism with Chinese Characteristics by Geopolitical Economy Report.
Really, in order to understand the PRC, you at least need to understand Mao, the Gang of Four, Deng Xiaoping, and Xi Jinping. There were other leaders, but these have perhaps had the largest impact on the PRC of today. Xi Jinping Thought upholds Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, while believing the Gang of Four to have been left-deviationists and the Cultural Revolution to have contained more excess than was worth.
Also, the Prolewiki page for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners is pretty poorly formatted, and extremely lengthy, so I recommend either going to the anna's archive link and downloading the source directly, or reading these:
Qiao Collective's Introductory Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Study Guide
Socialism with Chinese Characteristics ProleWiki page
Socialist Market Economy ProleWiki Page
People's Republic of China ProleWiki Page
My "Read Theory, Darn It!" Introductory Marxist-Leninist Reading Guide
Has China Turned to Capitalism? Reflections on the Transition from Capitalism to Socialism by Domenico Losurdo
China Has Billionaires by Roderic Day
The Long Game and its Contradictions
Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism by Vladimir Lenin
Super-Imperialism: The Origins and Fundamentals of U.S. World Dominance by Michael Hudson
Marxism is a Science by Deng Xiaoping
Regarding the Construction of Socialism With Chinese Characteristics by Xi Jinping
I'll check these out soon, thanks!
And yeah the formatting was rough lmao, I'll check some of those out!
No problem! The material is great, but unfortunately it needs to be formatted on Prolewiki, haha.
I can and do
I engage regularly there in precisely those discussions.
