I’m just baffled that i’ve been banned for this, I just wanted evidence that chinese elections are being rigged, and explained why that evidence was insufficient, and what evidence would be??

    I’m an Admin for 4 different public Fediverse instances, and I’ve banned fewer than 5 people for trolling in over 2 years.

    I agree that you were trolling. I would have banned you, as well, for sealioning.

    It’s your unwillingness to even try to understand. There’s a form of trolling, sealioning, where you ignore the validity and implications of valid points to keep the other saying the same thing until it all becomes frustrating noise. Squid’s default MO.

    YBA. You for giving Squid the opportunity to look right for once, and Squid because [gestures widely].

      I genuinely don’t know what you’re saying I didn’t understand.

          Can you give me an example? I’m not unwilling, I just genuinely don’t understand.

              But that’s backwards… he replied to my post asking for evidence, no?

              why get involved in a conversation asking for evidence, provide none, and then get angry when asked for it?

                Look at his OP. He said squid was arguing this way and you were feeding the troll brother.

                  No he distinctly said I was the one sealioning.

    PTB. The mod is banning someone because they’re not backing down. I didn’t see it as trolling to insist on the evidence of rigging. I do think you’re incredibly naive about manufactured consent, but I don’t think you’re trolling.

    Libs on lemmy are too trigger happy about anyone not immediately going jumping on a China hate bandwagon, and see every debate on the subject as trolling.

    Just a heads up, block pugjesus and flyingsquid and pretty much all of .world.

    There is no value there, they are pathetic far right liberals acting as mouthpieces for the US government.

      This has got to be the biggest false accusation as a result of being butthurt I think I’ve ever seen on social media- and I used to have a Facebook account.

          Nope, it starts at efforts that aim to provide easily accessible and readily available welfare to everyone in society which can be achieved under capitalism. Anti-capitalism is only a radicalisation of these ideas

            Nope, that simply cannot be done under capitalism, but you can get total control of the government in order to deregulate society by promising it, like liberals are want to.

            Anti capitalism isn’t radical, it’s the bare minimum to move forward towards an equal and equitable society, and nothing that cannot be achieved with capitalism.

              Countries like Sweden, Finland and Norway operate under capitalist systems while offering comprehensive welfare programs. This to me suggests that capitalism can accommodate accessible welfare with the right policies.

              but you can get total control of the government in order to deregulate society by promising it, like liberals are want to.

              I’m not entirely sure what you mean here, i think what you’re saying is that parties use promises of welfare as a strategy to gain power but, once in control, shift towards policies that prioritize deregulation (correct me if I’m wrong), but I’m not sure deregulation is always the end goal. How do you see that playing out in contexts where welfare programs have been expanded under liberal governments?

              Anti capitalism isn’t radical

              Uhh yes it is!

              Radical - Favoring fundamental change, or change at the root cause of a matter.

    Because Chinese elections are rigged, the CIA said so and they would never lie about counties rigging their elections :3
