I mean… No one on any Lemmy instance thinks the US has any leg to stand on.
Even righties I know think the country has kinda gone to hell. Not that any are here.
Try saying that China is better than the USA in a .world political com and prepare to be proven wrong (and probably banned)
Banned? Sure. Proven wrong? Not in your wildest dreams
The meme is making fun of US police specifically, and you’re going to get wild agreement on that. No one in Lemmy thinks our cops are good.
Now, if someone else brings up some historical event and one starts going on about how it’s a “western” hoax or getting into whataboutism, yeah, that will get you banned. And I have no intention of arguing there, it’s just an irreconcilable difference between .ml and most other instances.
No, you will absolutely get banned for saying China is better than America.
I got banned for reporting a Gaza genocide denier there, by the way, the mod told me that they make an exception to the rule against genocide denial for Gaza genocide deniers, and that reporting them was considered uncivil and thus ban worthy.
I was banned from a different .world political com for saying Kamala Harris supported Israel, apparently that was “misinformation”
Yeah, there be power trippin’ mods for sure.

Fuck the US, but saying “lol x is better” is whats silly. Both can be shit at the same time and both can need revolution
Only the US needs a revolution. The vast majority in the PRC support their system and believe it is working in their interests. That makes sense, considering the PRC is socialist, and not under a dictatorship of capital. A revolution in the PRC would only result in the restoration of capitalism, and likely plundering from the US, setting back the global progression to socialism by a century by letting the US Empire last even longer.
the difference here is the uyghur thing is american propaganda while the prison thing is reality.
there’s plenty of other things that makes china look REALLY bad, but it’s not the uyghurs since it’s just the american pot calling the chinese kettle black and; even if it were 100% true; it’s not anywhere near as bad american prosecution of SOOOO many groups.
Damn, over a decade of propaganda and the what can’t even find a single example of China killing a uyghur.
Meanwhile American police kill multiple black Americans a day.
Beyond that, they are beginning to just kill multiple US citizens daily, and that’s just police. Policy kills more, it’s just slow and easier for them to deny.
Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation
The PRC is not murdering Uyghurs. It’s genuinely a complex situation, but you can absolutely rely on the west to uncritically report their paid propagandist and christian nationalist Adrian Zenz of the “Victims of Communism” state department propaganda outlet.
