The closest thing to genocide in Ukraine is the conscription carried out by the banderite government for the meat grinder of an unwinnable war.

GarbageShoot ,

No need to resort to incoherent name-calling.

Russia invaded Ukraine, but war is not genocide, as much as the banderite government likes to turn everything into genocide to minimize their history of the original Banderites and other collaborators perpetrating the actual Holocaust.

If Russia wanted to carry out the war in a way that involved genocide, just carpet-bombing cities or things like that, it absolutely could, it has maybe the second or third strongest air force in the world. Luckily for everyone involved (other than perhaps frontline Russians), Russia knows that it shouldn't do that, and so it isn't.

I don't see why you feel the need to so readily call people who disagree with you fascists. I don't think you're a fascist, I just think you're a well-meaning individual who was tricked by the PR of a liberal-fascist alliance. What would make me a fascist? I certainly don't like Russia, I don't have some fantasy of the Eurasian peninsula united under the Russian Federation. I'm not here to tell you that Putin is a good guy, he's a mafioso like you see at the head of most liberal states. I've got no problem with people speaking Ukrainian, though I sure wish they'd find a better national hero than, it must be repeated, a literal perpetrator of the Holocaust, but I also think those weirdos in Russia who worship the pogromist Tsar Nicholas II should get a better idol as well. Please, tell me what kind of fascist I am.

idk, seems fine to me.

China abducted its own citizens on EU territory, report finds (www.euronews.com)

For at least ten years, the Chinese Communist Party has been abducting its overseas citizens on EU territory and forcibly returning them to China - violating the rule of law and public security in Europe - a new report finds....

GarbageShoot ,

Your definition of abduction apparently includes persuading people to go somewhere, so I think there are many lacks in terms of definitions here.

The link 404s for me, so I can't really look at the details, but more information would be required to establish it as actually being criminal. Saying, and I'm just producing an arbitrary example, "Come here to attend a court case or you will be tried in abstentia (and therefore probably found guilty), which will result in fines that, if ignored, will be satisfied by asset forfeiture in the form of us seizing your shit" is consistent with your description of "asking under threat of harm" while also being an extremely normal thing for a country to do and not a crime.

GarbageShoot ,

I can't quite tell if this is a parody, the trade union bit makes it seem sincere, but the self-importance to think that lemmy is too left for China to allow is just amazing.

GarbageShoot ,

see Tienamin Square

I'm looking it up, and I don't see any "Tienanmin Square". Could it be "Tiananmen Square" that you're thinking of? The one protesting government corruption? Where unarmed soldiers were burned alive? Where Christian sickos were trying to get students in the line of fire to create atrocity propaganda? Surely there must be some confusion here!

GarbageShoot ,

Were the trade unionists the ones immolating unarmed soldiers and stringing up their corpses?

GarbageShoot ,

Do you have anything but the most condescending and one-sided "solidarity" for a people who support their government?

GarbageShoot ,

Unfortunately for your ideology, most Chinese people support their government:

How do you reconcile this? Shall we trot out some paternalisms about "brainwashing" next?

GarbageShoot ,

I think the comment shouldn't have been removed, but principally because it is trivial to refute. The US is well aware of the fact that people calling for revolution have no teeth, while the people who actually did substantial law-breaking on Jan 6 (which itself had no teeth, but I digress) were indeed arrested.

Meanwhile, Wikipedia's list of Chinese"dissidents" includes blatant fraudsters like Miles Guo, who fled China to evade capture for financial crimes before being imprisoned in the US for continuing to commit financial crimes, to say nothing of the "dissidents" involved in actual insurrectionary activity that killed PLA soldiers.

Social media addiction is not quite the same thing as opium addiction

GarbageShoot ,

???

GarbageShoot ,

I think you're really misevaluating the (non)equivalence between how you're crippled as an organism by opium addiction vs just having your attention fucked up by tiktok

GarbageShoot ,

I now have done so and, uh, looks like they're just posting 2 me.

GarbageShoot ,

sometimes questionable moderation

That's one way of putting it. Another way is "ramrodding the narratives of anglo chauvinists that are to the right of even the neoliberal historical consensus".

GarbageShoot ,

You're moving the goalposts. Obviously a succession of dictatorships is possible, even with a preservation of an overarching dictatorial system. However, you can't have a dictatorship where the so-called dictator doesn't even have the authority to resign unilaterally. Try "oligarchy" next time and you'll get more interesting responses.

GarbageShoot ,

So is it not like the west where you need to run for each term but more like a normal job with periodic reviews? i.e. in the west, leaving the position at the end of the term is sort of the "default" in terms of the mechanics (with staying requiring being opted-into).

GarbageShoot ,

Comparing yourself to Yezhov is worse than anything we've said to you

GarbageShoot ,

Tbf Trotsky also won't be rehabilitated and I suspect OP would be happy to give us some Very Informed Takes on him as well.

GarbageShoot ,

What the fuck

Well, at least the Soviets never rehabilitated him. Who gives a damn what Federation liberals say . . .

GarbageShoot ,

In the words of Knuckles the Echidna: "The communists are censoring you? Damn, I wish it worked. Shut the fuck up."
