Western perception of “Social credit” largely propaganda btw and if you believe it isnt then you got manipulated.

    Yes I do feel leftymemes @ dbzer0 unfortunately has a sizeable ML influence.

    The main mod of this community actually does some soviet union apologia I think. Which means the rules 6 basically isnt followed while they’re in charge.

      It’s really only 2 or 3 users (who I think are mods or admins) that are pushing the tankie trash.

      db0 the admin seems alright, so I’m not sure why they allow this behavior here.

      Keep in mind, nobody has been able to cite a single comment of mine that has “deified” anything. I have never praised Stalin (go check my comment history), however I have merely pointed out the success of the USSR. Big fucking deal lol.

      Honesty hilarious and ironic to see this level of panic and censorship over a mere difference of opinion, while crying about the authoritarianism of China and Stalin.

      Pretty embarrassing for you guys.

          You heard it folks. Saying that Stalin was a communist is now “praise”. Great work fella 🤣

              Acknowledging the success of the USSR is now praising Stalin. It keeps getting dumber and dumber 🤣

                You can just admit it, comrade. You’re not fooling anyone that you don’t admire Stalin.

                  Wait, admiring is deifying? Someone needs to update the rules. Sounds a lot more like you’re attempting to weaponize the rules to create a thought police regime so you don’t have to deal with your own cognitive dissonance.

                  Analyzing the successes and failures of the Soviet project is not deifying. Admiring specific leaders for specific accomplishments is not deifying.

                    Who said “deifying”?

                    Sounds a lot more like you’re attempting to weaponize the rules to create a thought police regime so you don’t have to deal with your own cognitive dissonance.

                    I’m sorry, but what the fuck are you talking about?
