So, how can it be prevented?

That more equitable system doesn’t come from nothing. Without preparation it will be like the end of the Roman empire, when local warlords, called knights, were organising the retirement plans for the peasants.

Would instances federate if Digg would implement the Lemmy protocol?

I don’t think that. I think that a good society comes from interacting with people and helping them develop. There is no need for separate spaces if people teach each other how to use credit cards or how to pack bags efficiently.

For a place as left as Lemmy, the idea of shopping without being annoyed by disturbing people is surprisingly popular.

.ml pride themselves in reading theory. It’s easy to disagree with them on a topic but they wouldn’t make such a mistake.

I think it’s the stress of the US environment. The government is blurring the lines of what is unthinkable. This ‘all of yours’ podium is real and people are rightfully in panic mode. Question is, how to snap out of it to have useful discussions?

That was a good joke. Even without the KKK that joke should have been recognizable.

How can the desperation be resolved so that people on Lemmy don’t assume the worst and comments can stay on topic?

Why not treat it like a regular F2M or M2F transition? Couldn’t it be that these are genuine expressions of who they are?

It’s the same with all automation. Processed food is not as good as homecooked food, tailored suits are better than massproduced ones.

The journalist argues that the picture is a cover up. I don’t condone it, I point it out.

The spreading of the picture makes China look better. I originally thought the man was trying to protect students, showing heartless soldiers. But he is talking to leaving soldiers.

If the picture is Chinese propaganda and staged, it stresses that the cruelty on the square was so big that this distraction was necessary.

If it is authentic then what do we see? Soldiers who respect the life of a protester.

Edit: Read NeilBrü@lemmy.world’s comment above.

To clarify, I don’t think that killing the protesters on the square was acceptable.

I don’t condone the murder.

It’s the opposite. The negativity of the picture comes from wild associations.

Tanks breaking for a civilian and soldiers not reacting with violence is in itself good.

Tankman was a huge propaganda win for the west. However upholding it in times of wikipedia is silly if the tanks were leaving. The man is not trying to prevent students from being crushed. What’s the message now?

To clarify, I don’t think that killing the protesters on the square was acceptable.

Unless the Chinese are patient and strategic. They need to sway the masses when the opinions of the people count. The bad reputation was no obstacle to people buying from China.

The image is still bad because it is linked to whatever happened on the square. If they point out that it is false, people will ask what happened. If they say nothing, people remember this image.

Check the Wiki page. A Japanese journalist argues that it was staged because he wears an unusual white shirt and it happened in front of the hotel for foreigners, to have pictures without violence about the event.

Staged event theory

Harunobu Kato, a Japanese NHK journalist who covered the Tiananmen Square protests on-site, argues that the incident involving the Tank Man was staged by the Chinese Communist Party.

According to Kato, the Tank Man wore a conspicuously bright white shirt, unusual for a student protester who had supposedly been sleeping in the square for days, and nearby military personnel were also seen wearing white shirts. Despite the square allegedly being fully secured by the military a day earlier, the man walked onto the avenue and blocked a column of tanks for more than three minutes. Nearly twenty tanks lined up behind the lead tank did not attempt to bypass him, and the soldiers made no effort to remove or restrain him, instead allowing him to stand there unimpeded.

In addition, despite the heavy security surrounding the square, the Chinese Communist Party later announced that the Tank Man had “escaped,” an explanation Kato describes as suspicious.

Kato also notes that many foreign journalists, including himself, were staying at the Beijing Hotel, whose windows provided a perfect vantage point from which the famous scene could be recorded. Furthermore, when General Secretary Jiang Zemin was interviewed by CNN in 2000, he stated that the tanks were “humane because they did not kill the young man and stopped.”

At the time, Western media had reported that tanks had run over and killed many students at Tiananmen Square, thus creating a need for the Chinese authorities to counter this perception.

Wouldn’t that be double jeopardy?
