  • Thank you for the reply. Quite the response there, might need time to process. Although I will not ever discredit you for your source of information (which is family, friends, and colleagues), I didnt expect that you would go on the route of “independent media has their own master” and “media as a source of information is laughable”. It’s true that biases does exist, but it certainly is also true that we as a human being can process those biases out based upon the political alignment of each news source. I mean, I would expect that as a basic skill and conclusion that everyone would realize once they know news source are likely biased.

    And about CCP, I suppose I use that term interchangeably with the chinese government and officials and I’m sorry if that’s not accurate enough to convey my intention.

    Also, just as a note for the future, calling all of the things in media is “100% pure unadulterated bullshit” would only highlights your lack of skill in engaging with a society/system which has more than a single news source and narrative.


  • Hmmm I haven’t been in touch with people that actually opposes the mass media’s narrative about how screwed and inhumane the social credit systems are in china, and speaks english. That pleases me knowing that other people would think differently than I am.

    Although I don’t agree with how you see “if you dont live in X, i cant be confident of the condition in X”. Because as a person I could also conclude things coming from incomplete information scattered around independent/corporate news outlet. It seems like you have misclassify my non-involvement with China and their citizen into a misjudgment on my conclusion.

    Let me give you a perfect example on a very specific issues about China that I’m confident about. The fact that China have even a notion of regulating speech via state wide censorship is horrendous enough for me to not trust any non independent media representative from China.

    Edit: I think your vision towards my non involvement within China and their citizens also undermined the fact that I’m an adult with a human brain which could actually think. Although I would be pleased if you could give me a sourced argument on why,

    1. Chinese Great Wall of Censorship is not bad and it’s actually misunderstood
    2. Social Credit system is also a misunderstood part of the CCP effort to manage their citizen

    I intentionally left out the covid part of the argument, simply because it will devolve into a discussion of “well I was there and it was ok” kind of argument, which is to me, not interesting.

    At this point, I don’t care as long as it’s open sourced and it’s good to me to use. Hell, lemmy is made by communist which I am very opposed of (I really like capitalism with socialism safety net more). Political views and shit like that doesn’t budge me anymore from using the product. Maybe I would value more in the way they treat their product, like microsoft’s way of handling their open source project as a way to EEE.

    What’s your complain so far with the engine? I’m using it right now for a 3D game and it does work quite well and saved a lot of time from development (which is important knowing I’m making mine whenever im free)
