Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
This post is from CNN and you're rallying behind it like it's your big brother. Don't try to argue semantics here, man. Just own it. Are you one of those leftists who hate socialism and still think America should be the "World Police"?
We can cut the chase here and just answer this simple question: If forced to choose one to be the role model for the world, the one under the global spotlight, which one do you think would give us a better world? China or the USA? No other choice, imagine you only had those two. Which one would you choose? If you answer that, you will easily show us who you are, if you truly care about the truth and the people as you imply.
I’m not playing into your false dichotomy.
I knew you couldn’t show an example because you’re imagining reason to get upset about.
So, your answer is obviously the USA, no? You really think the USA is still a better place than China. Great. Goodluck with that stance in the next decade. You better learn Mandarin, brother. There's a reason the rich in your country are doing that.
Dude, I already told you this post is from CNN and you are defending it. That is no different from promoting it, or using it as a source. You are defending an argument made by CNN, that's reason enough to be upset about, because their messages have gotten millions of innocent people killed. As I said, Mexico keeps losing 30,000+ people to gun violence thanks to people who blindly support claims made by your media without digging a little further at all. Not even two scraps on the dirt with your nails. You just read the headline and that's it, you think it's 100% "correctly true."
You will never have real conviction or passion for what you fight for, because you've never been as close to Death as we have. I have seen you in Lemmy for like 2 years now, when Reddit banned APIs. You have a reputation here for being disruptive or controversial, but I never expected you to be like this.
I didn’t give you an answer because the real world is more complicated and nuanced than the question you asked.
Again you’re just making up reasons to be mad at me.
You made a big claim, that China is committing genocide, and you refuse to answer why or prove it. You made me go and read the goddamn law, because I am genuinely curious to see if it has holes that can be abused to kill or commit cultural genocide, but I found contradictions, which you're refusing to address, and instead reply like a child.
The question is meant to show if you're capable of measuring something as simple as evil vs good at its basic level. The fact you'd choose USA to be the influence of the world tells me you still have a lot to learn about it. It also shows if all this hatred for China is fake or not. If it's a dick-measuring contest instead of genuine activism.
You just proved that you don't really care about the things you preach. You are the lazy one not writing enough about something so important like genocide and the lives of thousands. You probably think people who write paragraphs like me are "schizos" or mentally ill. I keep getting those replies every time I talk about these things, including something as important as the genocide in Gaza. People would literally respond like you, "wow, that's super lazy," "the world is more complicated than that," "you are making shit up just to hate Jews"... You can't do justice to these things with one or two sentences like you're doing it.
I didn’t choose either because while China is genocidal America isn’t being its best self right now either.
Again this is something I’ve never said but you’re making up to get mad at me about.
I do believe that part of effective communication is being short and concise.
Effective at wasting time, yeah. Still refusing to prove how China is genocidal.
Thank you. It is people like you that make me support China more than the USA, despite its flaws. That won't stop me from criticizing it, but, to see so many of you handling these topics like this, no thank you.
Calling China genocidal, and America "not at its best right now" lmao. Insane subliminal whitewashing. Dude. Prove to us that you actually care about the truth and the people and tell us if you agree with this or not: "America's government is a terrorist. America and Israel are genocidal and have been for decades while successfully gaslighting most of their populations about it."
I have spoken to Chinese people, and they disagree with you on that, about communication having to be short and concise. They always show the attention and care to give you a complete full answer that addresses as much as they can, because the topic merits it, we are talking about genocide. It deserves more respect than some stupid ass childish replies like "wow thats the laziest argument ive seeen" or cheap gotchas like "show me where did I source CNN" while defending a CNN talking point, lol.
You were never short and concise with anything of value. You only repeated yourself and kept calling China genocidal without really proving it. The UN doesn't even agree with you the same way it does about Israel or Ukraine. So, who are you doing this for, really? It only appeals to the MAGA and Blue-MAGA crowds, literally.
Are you going to address the part where you are making up things to be mad at me about?
You only reinforced people's belief that all of this hatred toward China is so fishy. After all the lies Western Media has spread before, we should trust them with this because..? I'm not discarding the possibility of China committing genocide, but I am highly skeptical of you and your sources after the reputation you culminated and keep culminating by responding like this instead of answering the important questions. It's so easy to make a "Cultural Integration" sound like "Cultural Genocide," you just have to convince people like you that China will disappear those cultures after integrating them, but the law explicitly says it plans to conserve their texts, teach their languages and so on. Since you don't respond to any of this, and judging by the maturity of your responses, people will be forced to imagine that you will just dismiss that with something lazy like "they always lie" and nothing else. But guess we will never know, because you care more about yourself, not these genocides.
To be honest, it is thanks to people like you that thousands of my people in Mexico, Gaza and Lebanon are dying. You sound like you are funded by AIPAC. My grand-grandpa came from Lebanon, he had to escape it because of Israel and the US. Almost 100 years later and shit hasn't changed. And what I come across online is a fucking piece of shit asking "Are you going to address the part where you are making up things to be mad at me about?" and not answering the cries of those thousands of dead people. I am not making shit up, this is who you are, someone who ignores the important questions and instead wastes time with short replies like those. Disgusting demon.
If you're a human, and not funded by AIPAC, you'd agree with that statement so easily and quickly. But you're avoiding it just the same way democrats funded by AIPAC do when asked to condemn actual genocides committed by actual terrorist States, like the USA and Israel's genocide on Gaza and Lebanon. And because you do that, it's harder for people to trust you when you talk about other genocides. That's part of my main point. Your reputation is so rotten, to the point that everything you hate must actually mean it's something good. As you can see, I keep repeating that I am open to the possibility of China committing genocide, but I can't trust Western sources alone, especially CNN and Fox News, after watching endless hours of them showing their true colors for the past 2 years.
I feel like I could also just bait your true intentions here, your true values, if I asked you if you know and have an opinion on someone like Hasan Piker. Do you know him? Do you have an opinion of him?
Do you really think that if I’m funded by AIPAC that I’m going to say Israel is a genocidal nation just like China?
Why did you omit America again?
It's the USA and Israel. USA being the worst, because it armed Israel. The USA happily designed, forged and created the bombs, missiles and bullets used to blow the heads of some poor children in Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc off, effectively creating further rancor and ire down the line, so that they can do it again 20 years later under the disguise of "freedom." Hamas exists thanks to the USA. Hamas is made up by the orphans they left behind after they bombed them decades ago. Why are you omitting all this important context?
