On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

    They were persecuted, sadly. Communist countries stopped doing that shit earlier than capitalist ones.

      True, an example of this was homosexuality being decriminalized in the GDR (East Germany) in 1957, it was only in 1969 that the FRG (West Germany) did it.

      Yes, but I’m referring to people defending that persecution instead of just accepting that Communist countries can also be criticized

          I don’t keep examples of internet extremists, and I wasn’t speaking within the context of this community

              Saying China has “concentration camps” does a disservice to the real concentration camps of Nazi Germany. You’re diluting the definition until it no longer means anything. Same thing is happening with the word genocide now.

                  Ah you’re right. They go back to the Boer and Philippine wars and were operated by the British and Americans, respectively. Anyway, this video just looks to be a prison transport? I think we should get rid of prisons BTW, but prisons aren’t concentration camps.

                  That is footage of prison transfer. What made you think that proves anything remotely close to “concentration camp”?
