LMAO so this is 100% a Chinese propaganda website. Have you looked at the articles there? Not saying it's true or not true. But first of all, this article is from 2021 and secondly I don't buy Chinese propaganda.

Exactly! Who the fuck is "Friday Everyday"? I tried to look up the web site on Wikipedia, and it doesn't exist. All I saw was their own self-description here:

FRIDAYEVERYDAY is the online arm of Friday Culture Ltd, a group of friends from Hong Kong who want to present our beloved city and country through the eyes of people who live here.

ROFL, wow, okay. Actual Chinese propaganda.

Sorry to hear you only consume US state approved propaganda.

[-] yo_carny_bob_eye@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 year ago

Why on earth would you assume I consume US media, let alone what kind of US media I allegedly consume? Unlike you I actually was born and grew up in a dictatorship with actual state approved media. Your stupid comment is an insult to the victims of dictatorships everywhere.

[-] FireMyth@lemmy.one 16 points 1 year ago

It's yog- he's 100% a propagandist across multiple platforms. Whatever he posts you can safely assume is pure propaganda and only tangentially related to reality.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I grew up in USSR, and a lot of numbskulls called it a dictatorship.

[-] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 15 points 1 year ago

How were those free and fair elections in the USSR?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

A lot better than in western shithole countries.

Always shocked to see how debilitating of a mental illness tankie brain is

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Amazing counter point you got there.

[-] andyquest@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

You should re read your own comment that I'm responding to. You weren't exactly making a point, lmfao. Truly mental illness bruv

Here is the projection. When faced with your own methods you are quick to point out the bad faith which you yourself have systematically applied in every single comment in this very thread.

Maybe educate yourself on the subject then. A democracy is a government that works in the interest of the majority and is held accountable to the people of the country. A government like that would ensure that everybody had food, housing, healthcare, education, jobs, and retirement the way USSR did and the way none of western "democracies" seem to be able to.

[-] reddwarf@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

You are really delusional and a liar. I do not believe for one second you grew up in the USSR, not one nano second. If you were present during that that period you would have noticed that these proud USSR population did not walk but ran towards the west and all the things they really wanted. Not what USSR barely could provide (remember the lines before shops? No you don't, you were not there) but what the west could and would provide. You casually forgot that. Well, you could not forget little liar as you lied about being alive and present in that period.

I was and I call you out: liar!

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

You can't believe that I grew up in USSR and actually liked my life there because you're smooth brained victim of western propaganda. And when you're faced with people who actually lived in USSR and liked it, you're incapable of processing this information. Meanwhile, you can stop calling me a liar, cause I still even have my original USSR passport. Learn to deal with it troll.

You can keep calling me whatever you like, but anybody reading this thread can clearly see that you're just insane.

[-] FireMyth@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

Feel free to go back. Nobody wants you outside of there anyway

[-] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe educate yourself on the subject then

This is such a disengenuous statement dripping with derision. Honestly trotting out this glib phrase is a clear declaration that you're not interested in a good faith discussion.

A democracy is a government that works in the interest of the majority and is held accountable to the people of the country.

The vast majority of people in "shithole western countries" would say that this is true of their government. I'm not sure that's true for people living in the USSR.

everybody had food, housing, healthcare, education, jobs, and retirement the way USSR did

We have all of those things. Sure they're not directly provided by the government, but the government develops legislation to ensure that the overwhelming majority of citizens have great access to those things. The idea of a food shortage in Australia is unheard of. Was that true of the USSR?

And here is the whataboutism. Instead of replying to the question you attempt to deflect by pointing fingers. Again, typical of your bad faith behaviour.

I don't look for you, but you're never far away.

This is another example of you being glib and acting like you know a person and their failings with profoundly little evidence.

If you want to be taken seriously at all, work on being able to draw clear conclusions from a body of evidence and then be able to use rhetoric well.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

You know you could have replied with the exact same reply to the parent comment, yet you chose to reply to this one. Curious.

[-] APassenger@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

I don't see them being glib on every 10th thread I click through.

That distinction is entirely yours.

Get out of here with that strawman. None of the comments you replied to implied anything of the sort. It is very typical of your bad faith MO though.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You should learn what a straw man is if you're going to use the term to try and sound clever.

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

Ahh the old whataboutisms come out.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Screeching whataboutism is a really round about way to tell us that you've got nothing meaningful to say.

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ok.

Let’s be real about this for a second.

You are implying that the media in the US is as state controlled and state supporting as the media in China and therefore that neither is more true than the other, merely a viewpoint. Is that actually what you’re saying?

Fuck CCP propaganda. No one is forcing them to harass Taiwan.

[-] Lmaydev@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

YES, WE WANT WAR. But just a small one, please, followed by a quick surrender. The United States is diligently working with Australia and the UK to goad China into what they hope will be a limited war over Taiwan, according to military strategists

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I mean did you sleep through US working with UK and Australia to put nuclear subs in Australia, what do you think the purpose of those subs is exactly?

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Contain an expansionist China, which is intent on subjugating free people?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

In reality, it's the burger empire that's been subjugating people across the world in most brutal of ways. China hasn't been at war since the 70s, meanwhile US has been at war for 93% of its despicable existence.
