Just a quick thanks to all the Instance admins out there as we await yet another Reddit wave đŸ’Ș - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

What’d they do this time?
Some NK Rule 1 censoring today - Lemmy.World

Don’t forget .ml tankies (including the main admin and dev (unfortunately)!)simp for one of the craziest, brutalist dictatorships in the world! LMAO Welcome to the club @[email protected] [https://feddit.it/u/vodkasolution]

That’s it? Asking for trade embargos to be lifted? Are you serious?

Lol no, tl;dr VodkaSolutions had commented “If, he [Trump] most likely goes down as the dumbest president of all the countries ever, even over the north Korean dictators” and that was removed by the .ml Tankie mods because he dared imply that NK was run by a dictator.

But straight NK propaganda is allowed to proliferate.

Clear evidence of enforcing pro-Russia/China/NK authoritarian mindset via mod/admin action aka Tankie

And that’s just the latest, which happened just yesterday, there’s much more at [email protected]

Oh no, he’s on the floor!” [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBeU7o6DODI] Welcome to MoG! — Meanwhile On Grad — Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome! — What is a Tankie [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie]? — Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies. [https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/ziq-tankies-and-the-left-unity-scam] - (caution of biased source) — Basic Rules: Sh.itjust.works [https://sh.itjust.works/] Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don’t be a dick. Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech. Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism. Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement. Brigading/Trolling — If you’re here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception. Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban. You’ll be warned if you’re violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time. —

Meh, what’s the big deal? Isn’t it good there’s an anti-US presence here? I like the intellectual diversity they bring, even if they’re often insufferable jerks about it.

It’s not so much the anti-US part, because honestly fuck the US gov and the shit they do lol, but more of the “China/Russia/NK can do NO WRONG/aren’t actually authoritarian governments simply because they oppose the US” parts

There was nothing wrong with the comment that got removed, and they do that all the time.

they just look that good because the comparison is the us empire
Could you describe to me, in your own words, how the North Korean government functions and what elements make it a dictatorship? Because 99.99% of people who spout this nonsense don’t know shit about fuck and uncritically believe every single lie about that country that they hear from any given Western propaganda outlet.
