I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I’d like to try exposing them before responding and interacting…

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I’ve started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they’re burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I’ve noticed it!

        Yea, I have gotten comments removed and banned several times from lemmy.ml for disagreeing with literal and easily disproven Russian propaganda. You don’t even need to be pro anything, just disagreeing with Russia does it.

        You think moderators remove those comments? (/s)

        Protip: by replying to a comment on many apps, you can see the content of the comment. This can be very useful.

      Anything much outside of the mods’ pro-Russian, pro-CCP, pro-Hamas narrative on /c/worldnews is frequently removed and the user banned. Pro-Western users have a strict bigotry standard applied, while anti-Western users can say anything.

      I noticed somebody who wrote “death to amerikkka” was given official mod sanction (saying that it was a country not a people group) so I made the same comment about the CCP.

      Comment removed. Banned.

      Confirmed.

          “Racist” - learn the difference between a state and a race.

          Everybody calls the CCP the CCP. This is literally a “Nazis drink water” situation.

          Death to the CCP. Death to all other fascist groups.

            What coherent theory of fascism puts Nazi Germany and modern China in that same bucket? https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Fascism

            Fascism, usually understood in Marxist theory as capitalism in decay, is a counter-revolutionary reactionary movement led by finance capital, and a form of dictatorship of the bourgeoisie which emerged during periods of economic crisis in imperialist countries. The Third International described fascism as the “open, terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, and most imperialist elements of finance capital.”

            Fascism abolishes bourgeois democracy without abolishing bourgeois rule itself. […]

            Fascism usually promotes policies that favour the ever-expanding domination of capital. Its political aspect is marked by pervasive anti-communism, a profound aversion towards democracy, the justification and glorification of class society through class collaboration, and chauvinistic tendencies, namely reactionary nationalism, racism, sexism, and ableism. Fascist ideologues usually promote conspiracy theories, irrational myths and manipulative distortions of truth to gather support of their popular base.

              Look no further than the capitalist class at the top of the CCP. Its imperialist initiatives. Its reactionary treatment of Muslims, LGBT people, etc.

              Inb4 internal propaganda. Nazis say Jews got great swimming pools.

                Inb4 internal propaganda.

                No idea what that’s supposed to mean, but let’s go through the bog-standard Five Eyes Kool Aid you’ve presented.

                Look no further than the capitalist class at the top of the CCP.

                The capitalist class is not at the top of the CPC. China is a proletarian state, where the capitalist class is not in control: China’s housing minister says real estate developers must go bankrupt if necessary. Whereas the US is a bourgeois state, where the capitalist class is in control.

                The US Federal Reserve is just the cartel of the US private banks and they also largely control the Treasury. Whereas banking in China is predominantly state owned. The Chinese state both runs these banks and has fiat monetary sovereignty, so it’s not answerable to the capitalists. A bit of a tangent/background: Why The Government Has Infinite Money

                Its imperialist initiatives.

                What imperialist initiatives? The US has over 750 overseas bases around the world and is installing more right now in order to further encircle China. Meanwhile China has one anti-piracy base on the coast of Djibouti. https://lemmy.ml/comment/10148422

                Its reactionary treatment of Muslims, LGBT people, etc.

                What reactionary treatment of Muslims? They get material support from the state just as other religions do, despite the CPC being formally atheist/agnostic. Their official position is that religions will eventually wither away on their own.

                Or did you really mean Uyghurs? They and other ethic minorities were excepted from the One-Child policy, and in Xinjiang they have grown in numbers relative to Hans as a result.

                In accordance with China’s affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities, all non-Han ethnic groups were subject to different laws and were usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas.

                I’ve beaten the “Uyghur genocide” (“cultural” or otherwise) psyop to death already: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10145782

                LGBT people

                I’m not very familiar with China’s current situation on this large topic. The US isn’t exactly a shining beacon on a hill here: been to Tennessee or Florida lately? Even the distorted stories we get US Cold War II think tanks and corporate media don’t put things anywhere near fascism. The US has a whole human rights concern troll industrial complex aimed at countries it wants to regime change.

                etc.

                What etcetera? You know what, here are answers to some of your next questions: https://lemmy.ml/comment/9448375

          According to moderators, even using the word “CCP” makes you a racist orientalist Nazi.

          If that sounds like the neolib tactic of calling all criticism of Israel (or even the Netanyahu regime) “antisemitic” that’s because it is.

            That’s not what they said, though, and that’s not what you said either. I understand wanting to make your case, but you understated what got removed and overstated the reaction, which was just a removed comment and a 1 day ban for Orientalism.

            You didn’t critique the CPC either, unless you think calling for death is critique.

              If you stalked my comment history, then you’re being extremely selective and disingenuous, or very lazy.

              “Death to Amerikkka” is not a critique either. But it is allowed by moderators. Do you condemn that equally?

              A political party is not a race.

              Death to the CCP.

              To quote @davel@lemmy.ml : Reporter, please learn the difference between a people and a state.

                Nah, I just checked the modlog against your name, I didn’t stalk it.

                I didn’t say “Death to Amerikkka” is a critique, you said critiquing the CCP gets you removed, but you didn’t critique the CPC as evidenced by the modlog. I think it was more cringe than anything.

                  So in worldnews, being cringe is bannable if it’s against the CCP but not the US.

                  I also paraphrased an upvoted comment on this subreddit that calls people who call it the CCP a racist Nazi.

                  And you don’t think orientalism (the real kind) is also racist? That’s a weird nitpick you tried to employ.

                    No, I think trying to deliberately provoke mods is cringe.

                    Either way, you specifically equated racism to nazism, when I pointed out that you were specifically called racist, not a Nazi.

                    I do think you should call it the CPC, as calling it the CCP is Orientalist.
