      I’m all for shitting on tankies but I’m unsure what part of an all-male divine birthright theocracy they’re supposed to support?

          The person you are replying to left a “cricket” emoji (it was actually generic bug because they weren’t aware that a specific cricket emoji exists). They are clearly agreeing with your original point about how MLs are oddly quiet in circumstances like this. I get that it’s super easy to become hypervigilant towards bad faith discourse in online discussions, but please take a step back and see that the only person trying to start an argument here is you

            Or other “western” nations. I’ve never knowingly met someone staunchly ml. That was from an area formerly or currently ml.

            Talking to someone from China etc you generally will not hear them specifically shit on their government. Mostly because the government will come knocking and threatening violence as they did with Naomi. But you will catch them nervously deflecting to justifying it. Acknowledging it without speaking of it. Though even that could not save Naomi.

            Hilariously Lemmy.ml is blocked in China. Where a lot of other Lemmy instances aren’t strictly.

              Its ironic that any support of communism is prevented by these radical idiots. I admit I’m quite sympathetic to the ideas found in Marxism though contemporary marxists are rotten apples that poison the entire barrel. Frankly I wouldn’t be surprised if CIA or some other propaganda machine is encouraging these crazies so communism is never being taken seriously by any normal human being.
