I’m a Marxist-Leninist, member of an organized group.
I believe countries try to shape and weaponize citizens’ opinions about other countries, so I refuse to defend or criticize them unless I can argue that doing so is beneficial to my ideas (i.e., not based on feelings or ethics). Thus, I’m neutral towards most countries and defend multipolarity.
I tend to doubt my ideas as much as I can.
So you think it’s morally wrong to be wrong? That’s an interesting perspective. It’s usually taken for granted that people are free to believe anything (religion, etc.). How would you tackle that if you had a choice?
It’s perfectly nice to say things I believe to be true and learn that they aren’t, why wouldn’t it be.

Tht wasn’t quite nice on your part, but still thank you.
Thanks, I wasn’t aware of those actions by the army. Guess that gives me a different view of the incident…

I’m in this meme and I don’t like it lol.
It’s impossible to systematically lie to an entire country’s population about the country itself. It’s never happened anywhere on Earth and will never do so with current technology. It is however trivial to lie about other countries, which I like to always keep in mind. Think for a moment what reason a Chinese person would even have to dislike their government, when they are clearly doing a good job and actually solving their problems. Even the victims of Tiananmen weren’t those often talked-about “pro-Democracy” students, most were anti-liberalization communist worker protestors.
Oh, the Fairphone 4! Been using it since it came out, and judging from how durable it’s been so far and the support they still offer for their older models, I only expect to throw it away once phones are no longer a thing, maybe in 2062 or so…
You can see it in the sidebar. E.g. !asklemmy@lemmy.ml has 12.7K subscribers.
It’s 6 am here and I’m still awake lol, I’ll need hella coffe to get through the day.
It is, but unlike elsewhere, ML folks are usually not banned or defederated here, only if they break rules (like insulting other users).
Well, Twitter is a lot larger than Reddit, so more people were involved, but Mastodon was actually a lot (250x) larger than Lemmy before the exodus, so while Mastodon only increased its user count 4-5x, Lemmy is already past the 10x mark and the exodus has barely begun!
Yes, that’s it.
Could have been it before that comment, but you insisted. We have had a fruitful exchange, I learned something, don’t spoil it with meaningless pride. Hope you make lots of new friends here!
