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.

    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?
