LMAO so this is 100% a Chinese propaganda website. Have you looked at the articles there? Not saying it's true or not true. But first of all, this article is from 2021 and secondly I don't buy Chinese propaganda.

Exactly! Who the fuck is "Friday Everyday"? I tried to look up the web site on Wikipedia, and it doesn't exist. All I saw was their own self-description here:

FRIDAYEVERYDAY is the online arm of Friday Culture Ltd, a group of friends from Hong Kong who want to present our beloved city and country through the eyes of people who live here.

ROFL, wow, okay. Actual Chinese propaganda.

Sorry to hear you only consume US state approved propaganda.

Ahh the old whataboutisms come out.

Why on earth would you assume I consume US media, let alone what kind of US media I allegedly consume? Unlike you I actually was born and grew up in a dictatorship with actual state approved media. Your stupid comment is an insult to the victims of dictatorships everywhere.

It's yog- he's 100% a propagandist across multiple platforms. Whatever he posts you can safely assume is pure propaganda and only tangentially related to reality.

I grew up in USSR, and a lot of numbskulls called it a dictatorship.

[-] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

How were those free and fair elections in the USSR?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago

A lot better than in western shithole countries.

[-] yata@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

And here is the whataboutism. Instead of replying to the question you attempt to deflect by pointing fingers. Again, typical of your bad faith behaviour.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago

Very on the nose for you to use a logical fallacy as a form of argument. Comparing democracy in USSR to the available alternatives is precisely how you determine the quality of the democracy.

I don't look for you, but you're never far away.

This is another example of you being glib and acting like you know a person and their failings with profoundly little evidence.

If you want to be taken seriously at all, work on being able to draw clear conclusions from a body of evidence and then be able to use rhetoric well.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

You know you could have replied with the exact same reply to the parent comment, yet you chose to reply to this one. Curious.

[-] APassenger@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

I don't see them being glib on every 10th thread I click through.

That distinction is entirely yours.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

If people make idiotic comments then they shouldn't expect generous replies. I don't ever make any glib comments when somebody makes a respectful reply that's on topic. Respect is earned.

[-] yata@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Get out of here with that strawman. None of the comments you replied to implied anything of the sort. It is very typical of your bad faith MO though.
