Wow, I see you following my posts. That’s a bit creepy. But I’ll play.

Edit: Liberal is a derogatory term used by anti-capitalist and pro authoritarian socialist/communist supporters to other the pro capitalist or pro democracy group and create an “outgroup”. It is comparable to tankie in its use.

Since when is calling out a particular nation’s intelligence apparatus racism? In fact I criticised the American government in the paragraph previously. You’ve cut out context to make your actions seem a little more reasonable. Here’s that context:

Many of these same allegations can be levied at governments such as the Americans; but to differing proportions and often historical rather than modern contexted. However, rather than one being preferred, it is my opinion that any immoral and unethical system of government does not deserve the support of the people. The fact that you’re trying to garner support for just another form of tyranny is at the least concerning and at the most likely duplicitous and an attempt at manipulation from said government itself.

I see many users on lemmy.ml doing exactly this all the time, but in reverse and being more direct in their description. Usually some kind of combination of “western imperialist country’s liberal intelligence”.

It is not by any measure racism. It’s criticism of a form of government.

Which leads me to my next question: why is it a forbidden topic to talk about the activities of a very powerful and despotic government like the CCP, but in the same breath permitted to fling similar criticism at other countries? I had a user assume I was American in that thread and criticise me based upon it. Ironically I am not. Why was this not also moderated?

Why was I banned for that criticism, and yet the user that called me a shithead (a direct slur) was not?

The more you analyse the actions of any moderator or most lemmy.ml users, the more their hypocracy becomes apparent.

Free speech for me, but not for thee.

Most of my post was a scientific discussion on the loss of the Tibetan language, and proved through academic pieces of research the misinformation/propaganda present in the OP’s infographic.

I think it is much more likely given the apparent hypocracy and duplicity evident in your actions as moderator and my experience with lemmy.ml as a whole, and the experience of the users in this thread which are so numerous, that this was a deliberate burying of that information.

But that’s just my opinion, I have no proof and can’t accept any from you or your team because of the above bad faith that has already been made apparent.

By the way, liberal is a slur used in the same manner as tankie, but by authoritarian communists/socialists. I’m surprised as a moderator of lemmy.ml you’re unaware of this fact.

For clarity’s sake, here’s that original post so that all those that read this can have full context:

Can we have some academic references for your claims OP?

Here are mine before you ask:

Mandarin is now the primary medium of instruction/education for approximately 95% of schools in Tibetan areas, including kindergartens. We have a large body of verified statistics and independent institutions that show this clearly: https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/18/7267 https://www.hrw.org/report/2020/03/05/chinas-bilingual-education-policy-tibet/tibetan-medium-schooling-under-threat https://www.right-to-education.org/resource/chinas-bilingual-education-policy-tibet-tibetan-medium-schooling-under-threat

Tibetan educator and researcher Gyal Lo projected that up to 70% of Tibetans in China may lose the ability to speak their mother tongue by 2030 if current trends continue. This projection is supported by a wealth of academic studies: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/china-quarterly/article/abs/tibets-invisible-languages-and-chinas-language-endangerment-crisis-lessons-from-the-gochang-language-of-western-sichuan/994D3B3CFDFEA96C30F022369F1DB1FD https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29033477/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324778661_Tibet's_Minority_Languages_Diversity_and_endangerment

Also, in terms of the ongoing theme you’re engendering, the idea that Tibetans do not experience oppression or persecution, here’s a summary of most of the ways in which that provably isn’t true.

I haven’t referenced these as it would take quite a bit of time; but much of it is well documented and you’re welcome to conduct a literature search if you’d like:

-military suppression of uprisings, -political imprisonment, -torture and deaths in custody, -restrictions on religion, -interference in Buddhist institutions, -suppression of Tibetan language, -cultural assimilation policies, -mass surveillance, -censorship and speech restrictions, -forced relocation of nomads, -environmental displacement, -economic discrimination allegations, -coercive labor allegations, -restrictions on travel and foreign access.

Many of these same allegations can be levied at governments such as the Americans; but to differing proportions and often historical rather than modern contexted. However, rather than one being preferred, it is my opinion that any immoral and unethical system of government does not deserve the support of the people. The fact that you’re trying to garner support for just another form of tyranny is at the least concerning and at the most likely duplicitous and an attempt at manipulation from said government itself.

In other words, in all likelihood, waves at the Chinese intelligence system running this thread.
