  • Is Lemmy.World racist towards China?

    yes

  • lemmy.world is significantly further right than the average space on reddit because a considerably larger quantity of people exist on reddit that are left of liberal. Lemmy.world purged everyone that was left of liberal and defederated from everywhere that would seriously engage in pulling any content leftwards. This action causes it to be considerably further right than reddit.

    Given that the answer to this question would be yes for reddit it is a given that under these conditions it is also yes for lemmy.world.

  • Almost all the Lemmy instances consist of imperial core labor aristocrats. They're Western chauvanists. Many of them are tech bros. Many lack class consciousness. They have poor media literacy skills while believing they have excellent skills. They consume their governments' and corporate media's propaganda uncritically, unaware that they’re being propagandized. Many of them are as rabidly anticommunist now as people were during the first Cold War.

    They'll regurgitate:

    • pooh bear
    • tiananmen square
    • hong kong
    • famine
    • uyghur genocide
    • secret police stations
    • spy balloons
    • tiktok
    • havana syndrome
    • social media bots
    • taiwan

  • Is [westerners online] racist towards China? Yes

  • nooooo noo they hate the government but love the people. even though the people love their government. no this doesn't mean they are being paternalistic toward asians. they just have a better sense of the ground truth nature of reality halfway around the world that they acquired entirely from cope youtube videos and internet comments written by people who also watched the same cope youtube videos. the inscrutable celestial brainpan just doesn't understand that democracy is when your democratic representatives have a seven percent approval rating.

    • nooooo noo they hate the government but love the people.

      But also if you hate the government of a country they like then suddenly you're an antisemite or an anti white racist (speaking from personal experience smh)

      • Yes, Racism is when you hate the multi-ethnic population of America because their leader is financing a genocide.

        Also, wait, are they saying that being a Nationalist is like being a Racist but for Nation States? And not like a "White Nationalist" as in Nationalism?

  • Lemme check

    US foreign policy

    Yeah

  • This is the same question as "Is Reddit racist?" The answer will always be yes.

  • Yes, as are most westerners

  • they are liberals so.... yeah

  • Can't tell if this is a genuine question or not 🤣🤣🤣

  • Absolutely. Caucasians, especially those in imperial core countries with access to reddit, seem to have this in-bred gland in their bodies that generates hatred for anybody who isn't white of skin; especially if said objects of hatred are outperforming them.

  • What aren't they racist towards? Lol

    The only issue I have with them defederating from grad is that I can still see their comments, but can't tell them to fuck off :(

  • there is a general very racist bourgoise ideologie that includes basiclly everything hat was ever teached in offical institutions therefore one has to expect a general Baseline Racism in any general Forum. Its the hole purpose of the monstrous Maschine to produce it. And it does ..

    But:

    Dear citizens of the Hexbear Weltnetz Forum ... If you've lived to see the wonder of watching our blue planet from the depths of the cosmos, you see things differently. Up there, in the depths of space, the Brainwashed Masses Opinion seem Huge and Threathening . Our Hexbear Forum seems tiny. You ask yourself what its Shitposters have accomplished ? What they can acomplish ? Which objectives did we set, which objectives did we realize? Today is our Forums anniversary. It's a very little Space, seen from the cosmos. But still ! thousands of people came to us in last years. People who we looked to as enemies and who want to live with us today. We know our Website is not perfect. But what we believe in, inspires a lot of people in the whole world. Maybe we have drifted off course from time to time. But we collected ourselves. Socialist Shitposting doesn't mean walling yourself in and Defederating . Socialism means reaching out to others ! , and living with others ! . Not just to dream about a better world, but to make a better world. I have therefore decided to Strongly Opose all Further Defederation Attempsts.

  • Do bears shit on the woods?

  • Of course they are

  • Is the Ku Klux Klan racist to black people?

  • To add to some of the great comments below about the ideology of imperial core this is from Zak Cope - divided world divided class:


    The labour aristocracy is that section of the international working class whose privileged position in the lucrative job markets opened up by imperialism guarantees its receipt of wages approaching or exceeding the per capita value created by the working class as a whole. The class interests of the labour aristocracy are bound up with those of the capitalist class, such that if the latter is unable to accumulate superprofits then the super-wages of the labour aristocracy must be reduced. Today, the working class of the imperialist countries, what we may refer to as metropolitan labour, is entirely labour aristocratic.

    The labour aristocracy provides the major vehicle for bourgeois ideological and political influence within the working class. For Lenin, "opportunism" in the labour movement is conditioned by the preponderance of two major economic factors, namely, either "vast colonial possessions or a monopolist position in world markets." These allow for ever-greater sections of the metropolitan working class to be granted super-wages so that it is not merely the haute bourgeoisie which subsists on profits. Thus, according to Lenin, it is not simply capitalists who benefit from imperialism:

    The export of capital, one of the most essential economic bases of imperialism, still more completely isolates the rentiers from production and sets the seal of parasitism on the whole country that lives by exploiting the labour of several overseas countries and colonies.

    For Lenin, superprofits derived from imperialism allow the globally predominant bourgeoisie to pay inflated wages to sections of the (international) proletariat, who thus derive a material stake in preserving the capitalist system:

    In all the civilised, advanced countries the bourgeoisie rob---either by colonial oppression or by financially extracting "gain" from formally independent weak countries---they rob a population many times larger than that of "their own" country. This is the economic factor that enables the imperialist bourgeoisie to obtain super-profits, part of which is used to bribe the top section of the proletariat and convert it into a reformist, opportunist petty bourgeoisie that fears revolution.

    There are several pressing reasons why the haute bourgeoisie in command of the heights of the global capitalist economy pays its domestic working class super-wages, even where it is not forced to by militant trade-union struggle within the metropolis.

    • Economically, the embourgeoisement of First World workers has provided oligopolies with the secure and thriving consumer markets necessary to capital's expanded reproduction.
    • Politically, the stability of pro-imperialist polities with a working-class majority is of paramount concern to cautious investors and their representatives in government.
    • Militarily, a pliant and/or quiescent workforce furnishes both the national chauvinist personnel required to enforce global hegemony and a secure base from which to launch the subjugation of Third World territories.
    • Finally, ideologically, the lifestyles and cultural mores enjoyed by most First World workers signifies to the Third World not what benefits imperialism brings, but what capitalist industrial development and parliamentary democracy alone can achieve.

    In receiving a share of superprofits, a sometimes fraught alliance is forged between workers and capitalists in the advanced nations. As far back as 1919, the First Congress of the Communist International (COMINTERN) adopted a resolution, agreed on by all of the major leaders of the world Communist movement of the time, which read:

    At the expense of the plundered colonial peoples capital corrupted its wage slaves, created a community of interest between the exploited and the exploiters as against the oppressed colonies---the yellow, black, and red colonial people---and chained the European and American working class to the imperialist "fatherland."

    Advocates of imperialism understood very early on that imperialism would and could provide substantial and socially pacifying benefits to the working classes in imperialist countries. Cecil Rhodes, arch-racist mining magnate, industrialist and founder of the white-settler state of Rhodesia, famously understood British democracy as equaling imperialism plus social reform:

    I was in the West End of London yesterday and attended a meeting of the unemployed. I listened to the wild speeches, which were just a cry for "bread!" "bread!" and on the way home I pondered over the scene and I became more than ever convinced of the importance of imperialism ... My cherished idea is a solution for the social problem, i.e., in order to save the inhabitants of the United Kingdom from a bloody civil war, we colonial statesmen must acquire new lands to settle the surplus population, to provide new markets for the goods produced in the factories and the mines. The Empire, as I have always said, is a bread and butter question. If you want to avoid civil war, you must become imperialists.
