I would, but I got banned for daring to disagree with their narratives. Apparently brigading other instances and users is fine, but you have the audacity to go there and debate their lunacy, and it's ban time.
I had to block their Instance. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.
Lemmy is a pretty bad pace to be then, same thing happens here
You could also just post on !memes@lemmy.ml, hexbear likes to hang out on there.
Lemmy.ml has its own tankie groups, btw. Hexbear is just one of a few focal points.
To each their own. However, it's convenient to know when you are getting close to some type of military demarcation line. (Stray bullets can still fly across demilitarized zones, or, you start to see pro-communist graffiti a little more often, is what I am saying.)
Still, there is no harm in tossing some meme-loaded USB drives over the border to see what happens.
I now have the urge to send copious amounts of Joker memes to the North Korean side
Edit: hyperlinks dont work for shit
Congratulations, the .ml admins deleted it. Did they ban you too?
Not so rare lemmy.ml L
Add Tibet, Xianchang, Manchuria, as separate countries and switch Inner Mongolia to being part of Mongolia and now we're getting somewhere.
Taiwan didn't even recognize Mongolia's independence until 2002. Good luck getting the KMT to accept Tibet's or Uyghurstan's independence.
Next thing you know, Western Taiwan decides it's time to make North Korea their brand new province, because "historic grounds" or something
Q: How do you determine who is cheating in the online game you're playing?
A: Declare that Taiwan is best China. All the cheaters will start screaming.
kinda weird to say all Chinese citizens are cheaters. and by weird I mean OVERTLY RACIST.
fuck the CCP but all 1.4 billion Chinese people are my homies. I aint gonna sit and listen to some little shit on lemmy call my homies cheaters
is it racist to imply that it is only the chineese who cheat at online games?
who knows
It's somewhat racist, but it's also got some truth to it. Anywhere internet cafés are a thing cheating tends to be more popular. They're usually not using their own account, so there is no risk to cheating. Internet cafés are prevalent in China and Russia, so there's a stereotype of them being cheaters. That's not to say they all do it, but it's more likely than most other places.
It's just blatant racism, why is it being upvoted
indeed there is only one china
Is that a thing, Chinese people being known for cheating in online games?
Yes. China has a huge hacking problem. Anytime there is a ban wave of hackers in just about any competitive online multiplayer game that Chinese players have access to, the vast majority of the IPs banned are Chinese. The gaming cafes over there even advertise hacks.
It has to do with their culture. Chinese culture is very cutthroat and survival of the fittest. It makes people have the mindset of doing anything they can to win or be successful, even if it means cheating. It's not just video games. They have a huge problem with it in their education system, as well. It's also why there is so many cheap copies and counterfeits of different products made in China.
How to piss off the PRC with one pic.
Did you mean PRWT?
I think it's just RoC by then
I mean, doesnt that kinda play into the PRC's narrative that Taiwan and China are the same country?
The PRC and RoC share a lot of the same territorial disputes because they both view themselves as the one rightful Chinese government; they largely agree which land is "part of China". It's taking Taiwan's side because it's saying they should administer all of it.
Doesn't Taiwan largely still do this in the modern day because revoking those claims would be equivalent to declaring its formal independence as a separate country, which is something China has threatened would be met with invasion?
I feel like "say this or I punch your teeth in" kind of takes some of the legitimacy out of the statement, don't you?
Yes they are.
And Taiwan is the rightful heir of China!
Nah, Taiwan only avoids forsaking these claims because doing so would be interpreted as a formal declaration of independence, prompting an invasion.
Why people in the west care about this territorial conflict.
It is clearly a strategic conflict for USA and allies to keep China at distance and reduce their ability to move further.
But for people to keep talking about it like it is a ( good vs evil ) feels like propganda by USA military or something.
If we imagine a world where china without Nuclear weapons, so Nato can stop them anytime, I dont think the USA media will care about them.
Why shouldn't we care about the land and people they said they'd take by force if need be? Really?
It's pretty clear that having a strategic partner in that part of the world is a net positive for western counties. Also Taiwan supplies a huge fraction of our computer chips.
That they managed to utterly dominate the chipmaking market and use that as a leverage to make allies was a real master move. The pandemic and the whole supply chain troubles giving a wake up call that "all eggs in one basket" is bad sure got them worried, tho.
Because Taiwan makes most of the computer chips we use, and the US definitely has a vested interest in China not obtaining that knowledge.
Why are you including Tibet in that?
Shouldn't the one at the top be East Ukraine on the same basis?
Taiwan (or The Republic of China) is a special case in that it doesn't want independence from the PRC*, but rather they claim that all of China is part of the ROC and is illegally occupied by the PRC. The PRC, likewise, views Taiwan as a rebellious little part of their own country.
*I learned just now that there's a political movement that eschews this view and instead just wants sovereignty for the land currently owned by Taiwan.
Anyway, as far as I know, Ukraine doesn't make any similar claims to Russia (except for certain contested areas).
Ok but this is literally true, broth the PRC and the ROC claim to be the real china
but also remove all the borders
lmao
I'm so sick of this"West Taiwan" crap. It plays into the PRC narrative that China and Taiwan are inseparable. Most Taiwanese just want to live their lives without needing to worry about China invading. The official ROC territorial claims remain in part due to the 2005 Anti-Secession law of the PRC. The law provides a legal mandate to invade if Taiwan were to declare formal independence. In general the only people in Taiwan who want to govern China are older nationalists.
Hahah this is perfect 😂
This is actually a possibility in the game Terra Invicta. If you have annex claims on China as Taiwan, and then confederate the nations, they become 'Unified Taiwan'.
