  What is? Calling China fascist isn’t American propaganda because the government and its sources do not claim China is fascist. The Americans calling China fascist are poorly educated in fascism. China is authoritarian but not fascist.

    I’m agreeing with you for the most part, their list of talking points is the propaganda.

      Anything negative of China is propaganda says the .ml tankie.

      Gee, you wouldn’t happen to be utterly biased at all.

        Lmao you know ml just stands for Mali in this case right? Like do you think they’re doing ideological purity testing when you sign up? Do you think my whole instance is CCP agents?

  So if you post on social media “I think Dictator Xi should be removed from office and we should have real elections again” nothing will happen?

  I feel like something happens if you post that in China that you don’t want to talk about.

    You can’t ask that in any authoritarian nation so. that isn’t demonstrating that China is fascist.

        Saying something “is cringe” is a great way o demonstrate poor communication skills.

        Nothing you mention is unique to fascism nor would be used by educated people to determine if a nation is fascist.

        It’s ok that you know nothing about fascism as that is downright common on Lemmy but don’t double down on the arrogance after proving your ignorance.

        This is exactly the propaganda I’m referring to. I’m sure some people are being detained unjustly. I’m also very sure that number, whether per capita or in raw headcount, is a lot lower than in the US.
