What are you actually saying? Explain directly why you think this would get somebody beheaded, because right now it just seems like nonsense racism on your part and I’d like you to be able to defend yourself.
I know better than to elaborate at this point. I’ll screenshot this, post it later and make a fun comparison chart pointing out hypocrisy in online communities. 🤪
No worries, maybe I’ll be pleasantly wrong and the world is a nice place. 🙃
How is a picture of Winnie the Pooh hypocricy? Why would posting a picture of Winnie the Pooh get someone beheaded in China? At this point it just appears to be naked racism on your part, assuming MLs hate Winnie the Pooh itself and not the racist caticaturizing of Xi Jinping as a yellow bear, combined with the fact that China censors racist caricatures of Xi Jinping while selling tons of Winnie the Pooh merch, and then exaggerating to the point that this censorship results in arrests and even beheading.
Cut the bullshit, please. Do you really think Winnie the Pooh is banned in China? Do you really think the punishment for posting censorable content (which this is not as it isn’t a racist caricature of Xi Jinping but a comic featuring Winnie the Pooh himself) is arresting them, or even execution?
Hey, if you don’t see a problem, then clearly it’s not a problem. And me pointing at something and saying “this might not be cool” doesn’t make me a racist on any planet. Nice try. 🚫
All drugs should be legal and regulated. To not support a end to the war on drugs and full legalization of all drugs is to not support bodily autonomy.
Pretty sure that’s what the guy meant, but I was asking how .ml isn’t Marxist? Everything I’ve seen from there seems to suggest they’re very Marxist oriented
I see lots of anti-capitalism, but I’ve seen enough people in our instance who aren’t ML, and I’ve seen someone (maybe Cowbee?) mentioning that the instance is meant to be a general instance, not necessarily ML, but that because of the admins it leans that way. Lemmygrad I believe is actually ML.
It’s easiest to see it as a pro-ML generalist instance. Opposing ML is frowned upon, but fronting pro-imperialism is bannable. Most people are friendly to ML, but it’s a grab bag.
Then you can actually ready their instance description and see they’re a general purpose instance. Even if Dessalines would be the sole instance mod, that wouldn’t change that
How has the ML not come down like thors hammer on this? lol
Why would it?
I mean, if y’all are okay with it but that would totally get someone arrested in China. Probably beheaded. That’s a dirty image.
Weird orientalist wishcasting. Kind of disgusting.
No? What are you talking about?
I’ll just download this image and repost it in a month to one of those “meanwhile on the grad” communities with no title and see what happens.
I expect a dogpile of one human and 50 Lemmy accounts. Woof.
Edit: I can’t even bring myself to download this to my phone.

Nonsense racism is probably the correct answer…
Agreed, but I figure they should be offered a chance to re-examine their worldview.

Grok is this true?
Those eyes are lookin a little sus, lol
Watching my racism meter like

Nice dodge ;)
Marxists don’t like white honey? Trick question, lemmy.ml is not marxist
How so?
How so what?
Btw I still don’t know what the comment I replied to meant. I hope it’s not the racist Winnie the pooh / chairman Xi joke

The admins are, but the instance has lots of folks, some MLs, some not
I would estimate the majority are ML

I hadn’t realized!
Still learning about all the different instances as I go. I think not being super tech oriented makes it a slower process than it could be, lol.
Thanks for the info!
So .ml stands for Machine Learning? News to me.
Nah the Mali domain was cheapest lol
No, it stands for Marxism-Leninism
