I don't get the title.
I have no idea what everybody seems to have against your will to see movie trailers.
Shaking my head my head?
Thanks for your valuable insight
China is heavily censoring internet and you fucks pretend that it's actually a good thing. If they're living so well you all pretend, they would clearly see all those western propaganda articles lying about them and not believe them.
I know that powerful governments operate various illegal places in other countries to serve their needs. China even admitted operating some illegal "police stations" in my country after they shut those down themselfs, and I have no doubts taht the USA does similar things. However, I haven't found any sources about this place being operated by US government. Maybe I'm bad at research, but no one from those claiming it was that provided any source either. The person in the second screenshot even says that they're just guessing. When I see my government, or US government, or the EU, do some bullshit, I don't immediately start thinking about how it was actually a move to defend from Chinese or Russian forces.
It's was the same in the thread I mentioned about China blocking access to lemmy.ml: there were definitely even some hexbear users criticizing China's censorship, but there were also multiple tankies writing essays about how the censoring is actually necessary because of capitalist propaganda (is lemmy.ml an US propaganda website?) and just doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify it. I know I'm using the words "mental gymnastics" too much now, but I just can't see any better naming for some of the comments out there. So, it's not just about this particular LGBT center, it's about this mentality of trying to come up with any reason of why the (usually Chinese) government is actually doing good thing. Isn't that the ultimate win of propaganda, when people no longer need government to falsely justify it's actions, because they do the justification themselves?
Sure, so instead of admitting that China's goverment did something wrong (like every other government does), you just create a story about how it was actually not an LGBT center, but rather an undercover CIA spy center. I'm sure all other government attacks on LGBT groups, orgs, forums and so on can be also explained by some made-up story. And I'm such a dumb person to expect people like you to create another story about Russia banning the queer instance.
The mental gymnastics you people do to justify any action of your favorite county's government that doesn't fit your idea of paradise in that country are incredible.
My comment from the original thread about this thread:
Great thread. I especially love how some guy aks why the thread I mentioned was a goldmine and gets immediate response with screenshot of some funny comments. I love that @good_girl@hexbear.net who took the screenshot must have seen the rest, comments like this:
but still decided to screenshot only the funny comments. Anyways, happy dunking.
EDIT: Also, most of comments in the thread are crying about how could I ever imagine tankie defending anti-LGBT move from Russia, because tankies don't actually support Russia (sure). Well, this comment proves that tankies are definitely able to do all mental gymnastics to defend moves like that:
If they defend China closing LGBT center, am I so crazy to expect them to defend Russia closing LGBT instance?

Yeah, cuz it's not a Ukrainian surname and I'm not a Ukrainian. Although I think my great-great-grandfather was.
I read personal tech blogs about Linux and programming. I think that they have much more interesting content than big tech sites, and that they put a lot of effort into it.
