On lemmy.world I posted a comment on how liberals use ‘tankie’ as an invective to shut down dialogue and received tons of hateful replies. I tried to respond in a rational way to each. Someone’s said ‘get educated’ I responded ‘Im reading Norman Finkelstein’s I’ll burn that bridge when I get there’ and tried to keep it civil.
They deleted every comment I made and banned me. Proving my point, they just want to shut down dialogue. Freedom of speech doesn’t existing in those ‘totalitarian’ countries right? But in our ‘enlightened’ western countries we just delete you.
Talking to liberals like this is just a massive waste of time and energy. “Why is China ranked low on democracy indices made in the largest carceral state in the world?” Same old talking points regarding social credit. All these “thousands” of articles cite one Chinese source and the rest is a circlejerk of western authors. No news of any person being targeted or denied credit because of this. No real world ramifications documented. Just yellow peril fearmongering about how the sinister Chinese are watching your every move. Please don’t come back here.
Who hurt you? Your info seems false - this is the top result if you Google Scholar search “social credit system china”. https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/223109/1/Econsoc-NL-21-1-04.pdf . You’re saying Max Planck Institute is just western circlejerk and none of the sources cited are Chinese? I can’t see the need to be so incredibly hostile to someone who might have just as much or more praxis behind them than yourself. If none of the available results from regular internet searches are correct, then don’t you have a responsibility to educate rather than push people away? Or perhaps you are in love with being an enlightened minority?
