oh man limiting foreign media in your country, that totally isn't censorship or propaganda! definitely not!
Great! Glad we came to the conclusion that China is authoritarian. just you wait, any minute now the US will ban memes about its government... annnny minute now. yep...
"Trade quotas are only evil when non-western countries use them" "Online moderation of politically divisive and inflammatory material is only authoritarian when non-western countries do it"
I'm sure you were in tears when Jan 6 destroyed American democracy and cheering when the HK parliament was stormed by the same reactionary elements. Head-ass shitlib.
i didn't care for either of those, not my country, not my concern.
Fact remains, find me the US government banning memes about themselves. You won't lol
Taking a break from this to eat dinner. I'll draft something up after that, since, yes, the USA does ban memes. Why do you think r/cth was removed, precipitating us to move to Hexbear? 'Slaveowners should be killed' meme is basically about the USA.
oh SHIT. THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SPECIFICALLY TARGETTED some lame internet shitposting community? wow, you guys sound powerful!
G "China banned Winnie"
R "No they didn't and here's evidence"
G "Oh I'll choose to ignore that"
G "The USA doesn't censor online political speech"
R "Yes they do and here's a directly relevant example to our discussion from the self proclaimed 'front page of the internet'"
G "Oh you're just a shit posting community that doesn't count"
You completely cave from every point in the face of scrutiny. Do you have any shame? You retreat every time and just throw out another glib line. Thanks for the thought dulling discussions mate.
Don't feed the trolls, they're just trying to waste your time.
Yeh I know, thanks for the reminder though. I'm keeping in mind the friends following along at home, who may be undecided about this kind of stuff, and trying to put forward a relatively sourced, evidential argument for them, not necessarily goat. I myself was swayed by lurking on forums like this. I'm not nearly as good as other comrades but it's honest work.
bruh i linked evidence that they do ban winnie, you even admitted that they ban winnie the pooh memes lol
lmao, do you legitimately, actually believe that the US fucking government ordered the ban on your lil' internet forum?
