    Europeans making lists of “undesirables” I am shocked /s.

    Something something first as tragedy second as farce.

      It was one of George Orwell’s favorite hobbies, after all.

      In 1949, shortly before he died, English author George Orwell prepared a list of notable writers and other people he considered to be unsuitable as possible writers for the anti-communist propaganda activities of the Information Research Department, a secret propaganda organisation of the British state under the Foreign Office. A copy of the list was published in The Guardian in 2003 and the original was released by the Foreign Office soon after.

        I’m sure PET will appreciate you focusing on the real enemy: leftists online. They will be so happy they only kick you twice in the face before contorting your body in a fucked up position for a couple of hours. You might even sue them in the human rights Court, as they are every week. You have to provide your own lawyer though.

        Thank you for the notification obergruppenfuhrer I look forward to your attempt to extradite me from China for the crime of being Chinese.

          obergruppenfuhrer?

          how does scribbling down a name warrant a comparison to Nazi Germany?

            You don’t see how making lists of “undesirables” to enact “justice” upon is reminiscent?

              Yeah I really hate that Lenin, Stalin, and Mao did that.

              Oh, sorry, we were talking about nazis. Them too.

              The irony of a Chinese person making this statement is sending me.

                Not particularly ironic if you’re not an orientalist. I hope it “sends” you into some introspection and research.

                  I know you tankies love to pretend otherwise in order to paint any criticism of your flavor of authoritarianism as racism, but:

                  CCP ≠ China ≠ the Chinese people

                  Is it possible GreenBeard was being racist? Definitely. But to jump to that because they appear to be criticizing the CCP is… transparently ridiculous.

                    Could you please point me to where they say anything about the CPC?

                    Would it be ironic if you said you were against pedophilia if you were/are American?

                    Very obviously a knee jerk racist remark but you hate China so obviously you need to play devils advocate and try act like it’s something it’s not.

              Bro.

              I haven’t written anything down. You made your own post history in a lemmy instance known for being pro-Russia/anti-Ukraine.
