I downvote the Chinese propaganda spam. Also the poorly written opinion pieces with unsourced claims or tabloid articles.

There’s no way to make a meme against a group or in support of an ideology without stripping away all the nuance and dehumanizing people. Many of the articles that are posted here are misleading and in some cases entirely untrue.
Yesterday, I down voted an article claiming “AP confirms no Uyghur genocide”. I read the cited AP article and found the post’s click bait title was completely false. The post’s author is pointing at a report that contradicts his beliefs and claiming that his beliefs are therefore correct because the article is lieing. It is fine to refute an article, but to twist an article’s words and then claim that the source says something it clearly doesn’t is just dishonest.
I believe misleading and dehumanizing posts should be downvoted in order to promote a space where diverse peoples can all feel welcome.

My comment is only specifically critical of that one post on Lemmy, I did not indicate support or condemnation of China or the west. You’re reading between the lines and tilting at windmills my friend.

Someone who supports the Chinese government or other brutal state capitalistic states under the guize of ‘communism’. I am also defiantly not a capitalist lol. Just a anarchist.

I don’t reed the news lol. I only ever really go online to read and talk about Linux and technology. Every single government, including China and the USA are all run by fascists and useful idiots. I oppose Capitalism, much like I oppose the ruthless state capitalism that is prevalent in China.

In China the government owns the means of production, not the people collectively. It is state capitalist. Not fascist? Remember the Tienanmen Square Massacre?
