Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is actually, literally, propaganda. Almost fun to read because of how obvious it is.

I’m glad you recognize that, now apply it to western media. There is a huge global protest today. And hardly a whisper from American media.

global protest website only mentions American cities

Never change, America

That’s the big one on Washington. I don’t think they are coordinated other than the date. There’s one in London.

So you're anti-propaganda and globally aware, but still spreading CCP propaganda? Why share this article of you want people not to believe in political deception?

But it is your comment, the even more propagandistic one about Xi's humble, laudable, selfless annual salary

I was responding with a source to show money has less meaning in socialism. We tend to view China through a capitalist lens. They have different priorities and goals.

Not really. Globally, money still brings power. They have incredibly capitalistic international trade and relations.

Globally, because capitalism currently runs the world. But not internally. Billionaires regularly have their capital reappropriated.

[–] Hereforpron2@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the article you're commenting on is about their global share of gold. So, rather than just propagandistic, I guess your pro-China rhetoric is also irrelevant here.

I changed the link to cover China’s policy of common prosperity. I do propagandize, but not for China. I’m trying to counter war drums the media is beating. I don’t want a war with China, do you?
