Slop.In the past week I've been absolutely roasted for criticising two different countries. Normally I'd be okay with that, I can handle a mild toasting and after all debate is a good thing.
On both occasions though I was flamed for mentioning human rights issues that are established facts and have been known for many, many years. I was critical of the actions/laws of their governments and not the people, their race, religion, general political ideology or nationality.
On both occasions I was bombarded by long posts that parroted propaganda, and in the case of one country I was told (on multiple occasions) that I was ignorant, racist and even fascist for mentioning the issues I did. I'm not complaining about how I was treated, but as a reminder, I was discussing internationally-recognised human rights concerns that can be verified and based in fact.
I could just be paranoid but I'm fairly convinced the responses weren't from patriotic citizens. I think they were paid trolls or bots, and I think their purpose was to quiet negative talking points about the countries that were mentioned.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
So odds this is in response to thar survey saying people were more against USA than China now? 🤔

I shouldn't have read that.
I feel like I am going insane. I know why I became a leftist and it's because a) late-diagnosed autism, b) giving too much of a darn about people, c) working too hard for too long and seeing absolute mouth breathers get rich beyond belief. But the way these people talk about me makes me think I am in a culture or something and that I am missing something major... like I am left because Capitalism isn't working! I was not "brainwashed" and if anything I had to work really hard to break from Capitalist brainwashing.
But I have doubts. IDK, I feel like life has always been harder for me than "normal" people and I am jealous of that. I hate how hard I work and yet it feels like nothing I do matters and I'm never good enough for anyone. So is it just that most people are happy and better than me? What's wrong with me? Why can't I just be left alone instead of forced into this normal lifestyle that I can't fit in with? I tried; it doesn't work for me.
And it's exhausting being told I am a bit and not a real flesh and blood human being that has trouble typing this because of my fat fingers.
I like the fact they don't mention which countries.
i would imagine that they're probably not the united states and israel
It'd be really funny if they later revealed they were talking about US and Israel on one of the libber instances, and they were seeing how long people would take to realize. I've not read the comments yet, but I doubt this is true.
In an era with bots everywhere and ai generating videos and pages with chats between multiple users under a second, it amuses me you still care by answers on your comments.
It is impossible having sure if you are talking with a human, a neoliberal or a bot, so just presume it is a bot and ignore it.
Ok, maybe it is a human, so, if you still care, answer the matter on a different post when oportunity comes. Eventually the message will reach him.
lemmy.ml is a marxist-leninist discussion board for open-source software enthusiasts. If that's not what they're looking for, then yeah they should go ahead and block the instance. They act like it's a sport to go into communist spaces online and argue in the comments about China or Russia to try to get banned.
I believe lemmy.ml does not have an explicitly declared sectarian alignment.
Their signup page has a link to The Principles of Communism on marxists.org and requires users to copy and paste a sentence from it to apply for an account.
seeing that was such a massive relief when i was looking for an instance that normie lemmy instances were willing to federate with but that wouldnt ban me for not being a generic liberal
Didn't know that, but sure it's left-aligned, however The Principles of Communism is not a M-L text.
The nerve of some of the posts to claim that the tankies should just go to Reddit to convert people. Like Lemmy was birthed mostly by Reddit banning subreddits that were willing to speak against the grain of western propaganda.
The libs should go back to Reddit themselves if they want to avoid having propaganda disputes questioned anytime they assume they know what an "obvious fact" is. The sheer ghoul brained nature of the op just just nakedly believe that the international group producing "facts" isn't compromised and also contributing to western propaganda.
Especially when they like centralizing their shit into instances like .world, which just then becomes a second reddit
Interesting. When I asked questions I was given a lot of evidence and research.
Americans have been protesting of piss poor foreign policy of their country. That is why isolationism have become a popular platform after all to run on. But in China? You don’t see people protesting against Beijing claiming the entire South China Sea. Russia arrests anyone who protests against the war in Ukraine. There is an ocean of difference.
sorry sweaty, blowing up schoolgirls is simply a foreign policy blunder
There are very good people on both or sides of that tomahawk missile
@gork how many schools has China bombed throughout the entire history of the country?
I wonder, since the advent on bombs, have they ever? The only wars I can think off where it could have happened are the civil war and the brief conflict with Vietnam.
i parroted some shit and got rightfully obliterated for it?!
bombarded by long posts
In the past week I've been absolutely roasted for filling my pants with shit. Normally I'd be okay with that, I can handle a mild toasting and after all debate is a good thing.
I was bombarded with posts telling me to clean the shit out of my pants. I was told (on multiple occasions) that I was stinky for walking around with pants full of shit. I'm not complaining about how I was treated, but as a reminder, I filled my pants with shit.
I could just be paranoid but I'm fairly convinced the responses weren't from patriotic citizens. I think they were paid trolls or bots.

Che, just presume it is a bot. Bots can generate videos and pages with chat simulations under a second.
tagline
It must be so exciting living in the realities these dorks have created in their own heads lmao
Sorry buddy, but the fact that people disagree with you on the internet doesn't make you the protagonist of a spy thriller
You don't understand, everyone who disagrees with me (a true patriot liberal), is a russian/chinese bot or a paid shill super spy working to destroy my life and the country!!
These people think the US has a copyright on patriotism or something?
The US has copyright over the world to them.
