    I mean, to be fair, you were kind of talking shit about their boss. It’s a hard living, being a Tankie. You’ve got to wake up every day, look yourself in the mirror, and decide to continue whoring yourself out to authoritarian regimes by posting a picture of a pig pooping on its own balls on the internet and telling left wingers that they’re fascist because they aren’t supporting Russia’s imperialist war.

      Don’t forget that not supporting Russia makes you racist against Asians. At least that is what I was told.

    Yeah I don’t buy into that conspiracy but it doesn’t seem banworthy either.

    Personally I’ve recently unsubbed and blocked all .ml communities

      Lemmy.ml taught me that there’s no difference between a Tankie, and Evangelical, or a Sovereign Citizen. All have discovered the magical words that keep them from being responsible for their own behavior.

    to be honest, painting acupuncture as a way of CCP to take over the world is a reach. However, that doesn’t warrant removal and even less a ban, and that’s the tankie thing here

      TCM is state funded and actively promoted. It is supposed to show how progressive and good the old (traditional) chinese medicine was. They are setting up Universities in many countries and are sueing you if you use the letters TCM and arent “correctly” exercising the ancient stuff.
