To Mods: I feel like this is not “political enough” for political memes… so… um… …

      They posted on .world. It should be okay, right? Did it ever happen where they banned people for posting stuff on other instances?

        IDK about the admins, but community mods in the lemmyverse can ban other users for whatever reason they want and that happens all the time (“serial downvoting” is the most common excuse I’ve seen, the pro-AI communities do it all the time to shore up the walls of their echo chambers…). At the admin level, .world notoriously rarely bans at the instance level, whereas .ml … does tend to do that, yeah.

          Pretty sure I’ve been temp banned from ml like a dozen times or something. Who knows the exact amount. They’re generous with bans but apparently a perm is rarer

            They do appear to be regular bootlicking enthusiasts, not actual collaborators. There’s a fair amount of scrutiny on them.

      Its fine, they cant do anything except stay in their own bootlicking bubble. Because of Lemmy’s design, they cant control it.

      How did they stalk you? I had some wackos trying to publicly shame me for having down voted them (didn’t work as they expected I guess) or mention something about other comments on other communities.

      It’s weird, but not unheard of, or a uniquely tankie trait. They are more usually using puppet accounts.

          It’s a pretty good idea to set down a new persona for every social media account - build a life like writing a story, condense it into like 6 sentences and read through it before you comment. Throws stalkers for a loop and it’s fun imagining them tear their hair out trying to figure out who you are.

    As someone from the PRC myself, I can share the following experience with you:

    雪花飘飘 北风萧萧
    天地一片苍茫
    一剪寒梅 傲立雪中
    只为伊人飘香
    爱我所爱 无怨无悔
    此情长留心间
    雪花飘飘 北风萧萧
    天地一片苍茫
    一剪寒梅 傲立雪中
    只为伊人飘香
    爱我所爱 无怨无悔
    此情长留心间

    • 老师,我只读了二年级,这词这么深,我怎看懂?😭

      But okay I’ll give it a try…

      So I had to look up dictionaries…

      雪花飘飘 北风萧萧
      天地一片苍茫
      一剪寒梅 傲立雪中
      只为伊人飘香
      爱我所爱 无怨无悔
      此情长留心间

      爱我所爱 无怨无悔

      So… is this basically telling me to just accept myself and let go of grievances?

      雪花飘飘 北风萧萧

      Is 北风 referring to 北京? Like the harsh cold weather and alluding to the politics? Like the winds of politics pushing things away?

      天地一片苍茫

      the world is so big, you can go anywhere?

      一剪寒梅 傲立雪中

      一剪 meaning the relationship being cut off? (like change of citizenship?) 傲立雪中 Meaning to be brave and stand in the “snow of uncertainty”?

      只为伊人飘香

      (continuing from above line) bravely live on for yourself?

      此情长留心间

      what is the 情? like the attachment to heritage? the attachment forever being in your heart even when the relationship is cut off? like the love for food and stuff even when you dislike your toxic relationships that which you acquired the taste for the food?

      I probably just projected a lot of my feeling on to those words and my interpretation is probably all wrong lol.

      Also, why is the same lines repeated?

        I assume it’s to hammer in the point. That’s usually why lines are repeated in literature and poems.

    I would also put Chinese infrastructure and build quality in the middle too. While you do see a lot of cool shit they are building, you see a lot of there shit fall over because of a lite breeze.

        It’s so fucking funny yet nonsensical and pathetic. I have always seen this accusation of “racism” when criticising CCP. CCP trolls have taken a page from Israeli government’s successful co-opting of “antisemitism”. Although CCP’s attempt to weaponise “racism” falls flat when you point out that the criticism is railed on pissing off South East Asia and Taiwan by trying to claim an entire body of ocean and wanting to annex a democratic society. So nothing is racist here. The “racism” angle is founded on weak grounds. Maybe this works on Chinese domestic audience? Russian trolls are cleverer with their psychological subversive tactics.

        McCarthyists unironically believe this.

        Part of the problem with vilifying a culture for nearly a century is that your audience will eventually lose the ability to distinguish between the individual and the stereotype.

        That’s how we got Japanese Internment in the 1940s. That’s a big reason for the anti-Venezuela hysteria in the modern day.

        “<word that people have negative connotations about> is when you don’t like <thing that I kinda like>”

        So are we just going to ignore the bit about “Chinese families” then? Seems like a rather broad racial generalization, and the poster is quite clearly implying their belief in some negative stereotype.

        Your response doesn’t even make sense, unless you are proposing that all “Chinese families” are actually CCP officials?

          The poster is Chinese, and regularly writes about struggling with cultural expectations with regards to traditional Chinese familial norms. If I wrote that white American family cultural norms were fucked, as a partly-white American, would that make me racist? Not only that, but families are placed at the midpoint, not the fucked-up ‘end’ of the drawing.

          The Chinese families bit is most likely a reference to widespread, problematic family dynamics stemming from shared social pressures in China. Just in living memory, a household might have gone through: a revolution, the cultural revolution, famine, rapid urbanization, one child policy, economic booms, economic bubbles, etc…

          That will leave any family pretty fucked up, though it may not be universally bad (hence, only the middle of the horse). In the future, we’ll probably see similar echoes of trauma from the USA’s current historical flashpoint.
