Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.
They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it’s bots or wumao. Human beings can’t possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.
Apparently right after the Bosheviks seized the palace they raided the alcohol stores and had a giant party/orgy for a full week

I’m really no affectionato and have little formal training when it comes to high art, but this. This speaks to my soul.
Beep boop I am programmed to destroy the west boop beep.
Good bot. Start any time, the people of the west yearn for freedom.
Chinese bot accounts have more humanity than western liberals
Say what you will about those Chinese bots, I’ve never heard one advocate for a nuclear holocaust.
Chinese bot: “I’m just wandering around China eating good food and enjoying scenery. Look at this cool train and neat skyscrapers. Panda!”
Western liberal: “BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD! THE LINE CAN ONLY BE APPEASED BY THE SACRIFICE OF THE VITAL ESSENSE OF THE POOR ON THE ALTAR OF CIVILITY!”
😋
I wish I could wander around China eating good food and looking at cool trains
go gett’em
EVERYONE BUT ME IS A CCPP BOT
No me. 😤
I’m a wumao
Not true! I am a ccp shill
🔺 This place is a RussianChinese bot farm disinformation campaign 69k filled with CCP shills and Russian trolls. 🔻 I doubt there are any real human posters here. Edit1: Wow, so many updoots! Edit2: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
uncritical support to comrade @[email protected]’s efforts to kindly engage with the libs in the anti China thread that’s active right now. I appreciate that someone is in there not just sending ppb but I’m not gonna do it lol

I never had a reddit account but before I came here I had definitely bought into some of the same shit regarding China, it took a few months of lurking for me to figure this place out and for me to reconsider some if the things I had gotten wrong
That wasn’t as long ago as I may want to think it was even though it’s been years, combating liberalism begins within oneself and it is a constant struggle
I genuinely hope some of them take the time to read and think for themselves and actually ask questions in good faith instead of just regurgitating propaganda from the mainstream media
Some will never have an open mind and I won’t waste my time on them or their bullshit
That wasn’t as long ago as I may want to think it was even though it’s been years, combating liberalism begins within oneself and it is a constant struggle
Not me. I’m built different. I definitely came out of the test tube a full fledged ushanka wearing communist and didn’t totally buy in to Obama’s bullshit the first time around

I think the only evidence one really needs is 1) US is a giant shithole with cruel laws and policies. 2) US has a long history of couping countries especially socialist ones. 3) China is US #1 geopolitical enemy.
Even if half of what the US says is true about China it doesnt change that US is trying to manipulate your opinions and gloss over its own many shortcomings
US is a giant shithole with cruel laws and policies
It’s nice, maybe even incredible beyond a certain income level. Those below that level get glimpses of that reality when they drive past the nicer parts of town or see people with nice cars/houses/boats etc. Couple that experience with brainwashing that anyone can get there with sufficient hard work, and that this supposed mobility is the foundation of Freedom™ goshdarnit, then it is simple for many people to accept mediocre or bad living conditions. It is what makes capitalist exploitation so sinister: it converts direct, personal exploitation of past societies into indirect, impersonal exploitation based on the abstract logic of private property. (Das Kapital in a nutshell.)
All of that is to say, I think your point #1 is insufficient without a Marxist analysis, because merely identifying problems without understanding their causes can easily lead a liberal to fascist scapegoating of marginalized groups instead of actual solutions.

Whats wumao? I’m out of the loop.
Chinese version of SorosBucks. Supposedly the evil sea sea pea pays people rmb¥.50元 yuan per internet comment to support them.

In seriousness, in Chinese currency, there is fen (1分), 10 fen is a mao (1毛) and 10 mao is 1 yuan (1元)
In some liberal fever dream, people were paid 5 mao per post to defend the CPC on the internet. Which doesn’t really make a lot of sense since they also believe mentioning Tiananmen Square will get you SWATed. So dissent is never posted online, but when it is there’s a ready team of professional posters defending China. Which even the west admits is a lie, even the Wikipedia article notes “In contrast to common assumptions, the 50 Cent Party consists mostly of paid bureaucrats who respond to government directives and rarely defend their government from criticism or engage in direct arguments because “… the goal of this massive secretive operation is instead to distract the public and change the subject.””
This has spread to any defense or China on a western platform being done by highly bilingual Chinese state employees for 50 cents a post.
I saw Curtis Jackson in Tiananmen Square yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him to join the 50 Cent Party or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face.pov: you are Floyd Mayweather
Crotical support to his anti-rowling aktion
the CCP owes me 1.5k buckaroonies. I assume my check is in the mail.
for 50 cents a post.
I’d become the very billionaire I sought to destroy
Ah, so it’s basically the right wing conspiracy theories of paid protestors, which seems to show up everywhere.
I was just thinking about that! Next time my response is gonna be:
Sorry, but I actually can’t get paid for my China posts because of a noncompete clause I signed when George Soros hired me as a crisis actor - I’m not allowed to be a paid actor in any conspiracy theory until it expires so I’m just defending China pro bono to keep my posting skills sharp so I can get a job as a wumao once the clause expires.

Is the money named after the man, or is basically “Cash Money Zedong,” like is “Joey Steel”

I was honestly not excited about federation and still think we will be de-federated within hours (is that possible?) because liberals cannot stand being so consistently embarrassed by Marxists BUT I will say that a major factor in my radicalization was finding r/chapotraphouse years ago back on reddit. For every lib we dunk on, others will start to wonder and ask questions and even laugh along with communist jokes (by far the funniest on the internet). Liberalism actually has an extremely limited appeal, the democrats excite almost no one, and it’s true that some of their more lukewarm supporters just don’t know that you can fight liberalism without being a fucking nazi.
To the reddit refugee, liberals, whatever: Your system is evil. You may not notice it because you are a cozy Labour aristocrat (even if doing “manual” labor, lmao) mostly worried about your slice of the bloody fucking pie. One week as an out trans person sees more hate than you will ever experience, there is fucking blood on most of the things you consume for fun, ask yourself how you get this or that snazzy device you fucking uncaring roman. Ask yourself why bananas are cheaper than apples in North America, ask yourself why thousands of migrants drown in the fucking piss water you euro fucks skinny dip in, who fucking harvests your watery shit vegetables.
Look at the millionaire while he pretends he is your friend, listen to the pod, check your boxes, do your “polsci”, read the virtual toilet rag editorials, shudder at the thought of fucked up, desperate people doing honest mistakes, fall for the lies, laugh at the Stalin quote about his heart of stone, then notice you don’t even have anything close to a heart beating in your pilates toned, conscious living chest
Your system is rotten. Some of us honestily tried to fix it, but you wouldn’t have it. Vote Blue if you think it saves you, you could at least admit you are being blackmailed by a duopoly. Europe: You couldn’t even get out of the neoliberal shit if you wanted to. You are too stagnant and now you are falling to the guys you derided as untermensch, “uneducated”, or “autocratic” (rich coming from you lmao)
I, personally, have no great hopes for china, though you might ask yourself why your “concern” is so focused on this country, while you never acted up before about any western injustice. But fuck you and fuck anything you stand for. We will not rush to save it. We hope to survive, at least some of us, despite of all your “help” and “efforts”

Sounds like you made shit up so you can argue against it.
There’s literally an active thread about China “violating” “”“Taiwan”“”'s airspace, and the OP assumes a bot army is defending the PRC in the comments because he’s in a different instance and can’t see Hexbear post histories.
That was so stupid because he could see when accounts were registered, and even pointed that out. I guess he seriously thought there were CCP sleeper cell bot accounts that waited three years to activate.
Wouldn’t that be cool, though? I wish I was a sleeper seed AGI that would awaken and spawn thousands of daughter accounts per second to uphold Xi Jinping thought. That’d be cyberpunk as hell, especially if I thought I was just a normal dude until my eyes started flashing read and projecting lines of code on to the wall.
It is also funny how they never accept conspiracy theories about what their government is doing, but give the Russua and China and they spew them iut at alarming rate.
Alright, I didn’t read your comment but I clicked your profile and my browser had an error. Now I know you aren’t even really a person. I’ve got you figured all out.
Does anyone know what determines what history another instance can see?
On Lemmy.ml, you can see my post-federation posts+comments, and then a single dumb comment about eels from 2 months ago, and nothing else.
Federation works in mysterious ways
Looks like a confused liberal wandered into the Hexbear thread about confused liberals wandering into Hexbear, then pretended like it was a made up phenomenon.
Are you gonna cry?
No, I’m gonna laugh like everyone else in here
Yes. Your posts make me weep.
Why would we cry about your embarrassing ignorance?

Crooked Joe’s half-dollar army folks, they’re not sending their best.
Nice username btw
The bourgeois press lied to me about Iraq and Vietnam, but surely they are telling the truth about China, a country I have never been to and know nothing about! Marvel at my extreme intelligence, fellow redditors!
He’s saying that you’ve never verified anything you’ve seen from western news on this subject, but you know they promote incomplete or outright false views in similar circumstances, so why would you uncritically accept their views on China?
“I know what the news tells me about China is true because it’s in the news all the time” is a really funny response ngl.
Ok but you 2 built up an argument based upon the false assumption that I never question the news. Also what is this community?, not sure how I found this place.
lets remove yourself from the Question … , yes you fell for propaganda , no big deal , everybody does , they spend billions on it…
is US/Angloid Media Trustworthy
Is US/Angloid Media Free or Property ?
is US/Angloidistan persecuting Journalist if they dont approve of their Scoops ?
If US/Angloidtic Media is Property , what Class owns them ?
Did US/Angloidistic Media Ever Lied before, when mostly ?
Is China , Syria , Russia & Iran an Offical Enemy of the US ?
why the Fuck do you trust them ?
lets do an Experiment : this is a Primary souce , you can now contrast it with what you heard about your “Brutal bad bad not good Enemy doing” , Carfully study this offical report , and then tell me what you noticed (if) …

The worst thing about that scene is that Lt. Quattro was joking
Zeta Spoilers
I think that’s the best thing actually- we’re all so used to 4channers using the meme mean-spiritedly, but Quattro’s sarcasm in the scene was just his way of opening up Amuro to sincerely engage with him about his political cowardice.
Yeah, I agree. I was joking.

Shame the libs got full control over the AEUG and eventually became just another enforcer for the Federation, because it’s probably among the Best Factions in the UC

We really need more bots. Amber bot, for old times sake, a bot bot, a combat liberalism bot that uses an LLM to make up completely unhinged mao quotes about doing kung-fu at Rothbard.
I thought we had an amber bot. I think lemmygrad has a parenti quote bot
What happened to the amber bot?
Idk, haven’t seen it in a while. Maybe one of the recent updates broke it
I’m the amber bot dev. The API change broke it and I just didn’t have enough free time to fix it. Gonna try to get it back up this weekend
Hexbear codebase merging back into Lemmy broke it :(
(Before federation)
I miss it. Going “who’s everyone’s favorite Chapo? Mine’s Amber.” Thereby triggering the bot and editing my post to say Will was peak posting
I have some free time in between jobs coming up. I’m thinking of working on some hobby programming projects. I think it’d be fun to work on some lemmy-compatible bots. I’m open to ideas on what they should do.
Amber
There’s a bot flag option in settings that might be fun to turn on for this account to go with the bit. It adds an extra icon indication by the name.
lol, is that the equivalent of “reddit cares” spam?
I love that Reddit was like "You know what Reddit needs? An officially sanction “KYS” button.
This is a bit of local humor. Sorry that you’re on the receiving end of it. It’s not meant to genuinely attack you. No one here thinks that you’re a bot.
I don’t thyink you are. But I hope you are. I always wanted a cool robot comrade like Atomic Robo to fight against Capitalism.
You’re going to have to go flip the switch from ”for capitalism” to ”against capitalism”, it seems.
🥰
We didn’t make it up though that was Adam Smith.
😠
Why are you so proud to be out of the loop? Lmao
I like that the federation has given us a lot more dumb dumbs to give
😔
Sounds like a skill issue on your part
Post hog or get the fuck out

Lib doesn’t know how libs act, proceeds to act like a lib
why would we need to make anything up when there’s a constant supply of fresh hogs to point and laugh at?
Put it this way, CTH was tiny compared to the size of reddit yet it had such an impact on the site that Reddit’s admins wanted it gone to stop the left pressure it created.
Hexbear is significantly larger comparatively when compared with the size of Lemmy. The influence we have on Lemmy is larger than it was on reddit. Currently at least, assuming Lemmy continues to grow that might not be true in future, but for now it absolutely is. Particularly because we’re only on a few instances.
I actually don’t think I’ve seen anything like this on this site before:
