Yes they are surveilled and policed for protection purposes, but the alternative is them becoming terrorists, like some of them did that committed attacks against mainland from 1993-2013.

Whoa whoa whoa. I think you and I have different interpretations of what constitutes "fucked up" because I think what you just said is absolutely fucked and you just casually threw it in the middle of a paragraph. And you worded it like it was fact: "the alternative is them becoming terrorists." I mean, fuck man.

Are you a fan of the US government surveilling and policing Muslims because "the alternative is them becoming terrorists?" You sound like a talking head on Fox News: "If them Mooslums all wanna be terrorists then the gubment SHOULD be watching them!"

This is my overarching point: you spend a lot of time on here calling people uneducated and bigots and sockpuppets and actors of the state all in the name of unshakable support for a government.. which is exactly what the far right in America does for a different government. You/they come off as angry, hostile, and combative. Anything you/they don't believe is misinformation believed by sheep and you/they are the ultimate arbiters of truth. You weaken your own arguments by equating insult to education and debate.

Most of the times I see you in a thread, you're stating an opinion as fact or being rude to someone who asks a question or has a different opinion. In your response to me above you said that I "believe blindly that Anglosphere global news press always spoke the truth, and they are the true authority" and that you "have a feeling [I] have made up your mind" because I asked for sources or citations. You "bet I also believe" a bunch of other US-state sponsored propaganda which is a blatent attempt at undermining a platform that I don't hold and never expressed. I never presented an opinion outside of my hatred for capitalism - I simply asked for information and you jumped on the offensive.

I'm not anti-China. I'm anti-being rude and dismissive when someone asks for information or doesn't agree with you. You're a bully and you need to be aware of that. Look at your comment history and tell me I'm wrong.

You're not changing any minds or any systems by insulting everyone who doesn't tell you you're right. You're obviously angry much of the time, but you're not using it constructively. Despite your intentions you do more harm than good to your cause.

TAJ is a known troll, and says nothing of value, ever. You would do well to just block them. They spent an inordinate amount of time trying to set up an alternative World News community at one point in the past, I'm guessing no one bothered with it? The old adage of not feeding the trolls applies here.

I actually looked into that but didn't see the option, at least not using the Lemmur app. Is the option available in the browser?

Yes, do it in browser.

Blocking him is the best thing you can do. He is really a known troll, who has already been banned in other communities. He spreads dangerous misinformation, as you can see, and accuses people of being racist without any proof. Furthermore, he basically just a bully who like to harass other people in every discussion he has. As @ArtilectZed@lemmy.ml said, don't feed the troll is the best approach.
