In other thread I got vibe that majority of Lemmy users support communism and CCP. Is support for Russia/Putin? Or have I just stumble in a post dominated by those people.

I also read a phrase "lemmy.ml" user. Is lemmy.ml instance considered communist?

I understand there will be more left leaning users in Lemmy compared to Reddit. But I expected moderate left and not radical communist left.

What is your opinion on that?

"I have an uncle who smoked whole life and is 98 years old" I am sure you know what you have been doing when you presented your "evidence". Not cool.

I believe your comments is just a paraphrase of: "They are being stupid"

In my opinion this is a very toxic way of thinking and does not try to understand the arguments "the other side" presents.

Yes I have seen you in other comments. And we both know what is the actual state and level of freedom, poverty, and capitalism and corruption in China. Maybe organize a protest in China.

I know you like their system, but for some reason you fail to see issues with their system.

Read all my statements again. And apply strict mathematic logic.

Few years of degradation of antitrust laws and some effective reforms in this year alone does not in any way prove your point.

I would not live there. I value freedom and privacy. (In a healthy European way)

They have the most wild form of capitalism there is. And they married it with a lot of corruption and zero political freedom. This is not an alternative. Please.

About defending capitalism (and not billionaires - who more often than not abuse this system). Some of us lived in other systems. And we understand any other system is way way way way worse.

There are however a lot of problems with capitalism and should be held on a very short leash. Or else monopoly happens. The most effective actions to keep capitalism at bay: strong anti-trust laws, strong worker protection (this includes a lot of stuff), wealth tax.

And be aware there are many flavours of calitalism. Most commonly people in USA are the most extreme where you have really "long leash". And people see such capitalism as failing and want to replace whole system.

I am bald with a beard and glasses. So everyone thinks I am their friend with the same properties and completely different face.

Mobile networks are awful and are very easy to spy on.

But the video is worth every minute.

Competitor with no content, users is not a competitor. Youtube should be forced to share content they do not own. Just for the sake of competition.
