Yeah they 100% are. The China Show (ADV) on YouTube covers Chinese news every week, 99% of it never reaches Western news. Anyways they have footage of the CCP forcing prisoners on computers being forced to troll an shill CCP propaganda like 18 hours every day off the week.
It’s utterly crazy the money their propaganda machine pays to make people think it isn’t an absolute shit hole.
I am in China right now picking up some stuff before I head back to vietnam, it has way better infrastructure than any other country I’ve been to, last week I took a highspeed train 200 miles for ~16USD.
Yes, that’s the point. There’s no money available to be invested into the well-being of the state because they’re not currently investing money into the slave labor.
In the US, there is money, it just goes to private prisons.
Actual rehabilitation would be an investment that benefits our whole society a thousand times over, just not a handful billionaires. There’s more motive for them to make life worse for all of us in an ever steepening descent into slavery and extinction.
This is just one reason capitalism is becoming an increasingly existential threat to our entire species and all other complex life on Earth. How can we stave off impending doom when there’s no parasitical get-rich-quick scheme solution to problems caused by parasitical get-rich-quick schemes?
You type “i dont think its ok to torture people” as a response to a news article about people being tortured, and somebody pops up with a history lesson about what your country did before you were born so maybe you should firebomb your own capital city instead of saying that other countries shouldn’t commit attrocities etc etc etc its 99% of the time somebody from .ml
And it doesn’t make any sense to begin with what they’re saying. They’ll contradict themselves constantly, had one say the USA is authoritarian then in the next post say such a thing doesn’t exist.
America is arming over 80% of all dictatorship globally, not China, not Russia, not Iran, not North Korea, etc
If you see human rights and democracy as a universal principle, then this makes America the least democratic, most brutal regime in the world.
But you don’t, these are just selective privileges you enjoy on the backs of the oppressed, a weaponized cudgel to steal natural resources from developing nations.
Even most other Americans realize this, but are helpless to stop it because this isn’t a democracy, especially in terms of our foreign policy.
Your post is literally what yermaw is talking about.
Instead of flooding the comments with Russian propaganda, why don’t you answer this question: Do you think Russia is doing a good thing or a bad thing in Ukraine?
And it’s not like Russia and China haven’t flooded the markets with their own weapons as well. Most of the middle east uses Soviet era weaponry and if they have them tanks. My understanding there’s not as much armour in use in Africa but what do you see more of there, the AR or AK?
There’s a reason Tony Gilroy made AK blasters in Andor. The AK is the weapon of liberation. M16/ARs are the weapons of the oppressors. The whole world knows this for a reason except you
Russia is very liberating the Sahel from centuries of colonialism.
When they start pulling shit like the CFA franc, then you can talk. Until then, please shut the fuck up.
AHHAHAHAHAHAHA! WEAPONS OF LIBERATIONS! FOLKS, FORGET ALL THE UPRISINGS AND SUPPRESSION OF STATES UNDER THE USSR! THE PEOPLE WERE JUST BEING FREED! Fucking god you can’t make comedy this rich intentionally! You know why they used AKs? Because they have ALWAYS used surplus weaponary with gubbins in making Star Wars blasters. Fucking dolt.
This sounds like a good time to hop over to .ml and see who the useful idiots are
Did you learn not to be so sure about bullshit internet propaganda?
You know some of their favs are missing.
Sorry, what is .ml?
Marxist Leninist instance. Some users just appear to be paid chinese propagandists.

This is wild even for Falun Gong cultists.
How can the prisoners keep this up with so many missing organs?
Wonder what it would be like if they spent the same amount of effort and money making people think it’s not a shithole by making it not a shithole?

Here’s a dog on a scooter:
But slave labor is free.
My guy, America has the largest prison population in the world, more than big mean baddie China with X5 more people.
This is BECAUSE of legalized slavery under our Constitution’s 13th Amendment.
Every accusation is a confession.
Yes, that’s the point. There’s no money available to be invested into the well-being of the state because they’re not currently investing money into the slave labor.

Which users?
The ones that aren‘t Russian bots, obviously.
Yeah, who?
Are the Chinese in the room with you now?
An instance that should be ignored by any reasonable standard really.
Notoriously tankie lemmy instance.

With a hundred liknks to random blogs that they pretend are reputable news sources.
And it doesn’t make any sense to begin with what they’re saying. They’ll contradict themselves constantly, had one say the USA is authoritarian then in the next post say such a thing doesn’t exist.
I don’t know about the entire united states, but I’m pretty sure Toledo doesn’t exist

Edit: Russia is innocent folks, see! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_industry_of_Russia#Exports
Oh wait…
Did you vote for a party that did a genocide?
You really can’t just say that what Russia is doing is bad can you
I’m flattered that you’ve taken such an interest in my comments, but I’m not interested.
It’s Lemmy.ml, where the mods are tankies.
Tankies as far as the eye can see
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
You know they’re convincing people to vote for the party responsible for a genocide over at .World?
You know over on .ml we oppose genocide?
I think you might be mixed up, lmao.
Unless it’s the genocide of Uyghurs, right?
No, we’re against all genocide, lmao.
Then you are one of the few, fair enough. Had more than one tell me China was simply “educating” the Uyghurs, so it does seem prevalent on .ml.
Re-education technically is cultural genocide.
Hexbear tho
You will never find two more wretched hives of scum and villainy
Go to lemmy.ml and have a look for yourself.
