Apparently "telling the truth" is now labeled "brute-forcing propaganda" lol

False.

Is China State Capitalist?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Terms like Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism were defined or entrenched by a lot of western supremacist authors, who needed to twist terminology in such a way that excluded the US (capitalism's worldwide enforcer and the cause of so much death and destruction) from any wrongdoing, while demonizing the colonial world who fought back against the US for their own sovereignty as "authoritarian".

I highly suggest reading Losurdo's - Western Marxism, for an in-depth analysis of some of these white supremacist authors, and how they demonize the anti-colonial struggle.

If they are, its impossible to distinguish them from the targeted downvote bots ppl have written for lemmy.

Yep, used to be very frequent. They're easy to spot because they're either no content accounts, or old accounts, with maybe 1 comment per month. We permaban them as they add nothing of value.

The freedom to shout into the void and have none of your concerns addressed.

Not to mention the fact that China has far more open discourse than the US and its media organs / capitalist controlled platforms allow.

They're just throwing phrases out like right-wing think-tanks, and seeing what sticks.
