    Yes, that’s a perfectly good explanation for why they need to block wikipedia, deviantart, archiveofourown, github, bandcamp, lemmy.ml, and mastodon.social: they’re all just fronts in the Capitalist Information War

      Well, they’re all methods by which culturally-bankrupt, ideologically-tinged art and tech from the West could potentially slip past, ESPECIALLY where settler techbros are concerned regarding github; but you’re being a deliberately-obtuse settler sinophobe right now, so of course you’re not going to absorb that.

      One of these days, y’all gonna learn the “Great Firewall” y’all mald about is for your protection

        Suuure… nothing to do with the fact that they’re a decadent and corrupt failed socialist dictatorship, no sir. Not at all an attempt at stopping ACTUAL communists from toppling their government, oh no.

          And there’s the predictable, seemingly unavoidable Western need to project their own conditions onto anyone they declare an enemy of state. If you really believe CIA-backed color revolters are the ‘actual communists’, you’ve done no investigation of your own, and as a result don’t deserve the voice you confidently, ignorantly speak with.

        Much as I enjoy arguments with strangers on the Internet, you’ve reminded me of my resolution to avoid the most silly ones. If you think I’m a sinophobe your judgement is very poor.

          🥱

          Lies, skullduggery, and willful ignorance in service of manifold atrocity have always been the settler’s stock-in-trade.
