    You are fighting against a tide of trolls or sheep. There is nothing you can do but block these people that try to rationalize away dictators.

          Yes. Your freedom to educate yourself against all this bullshit is the freedom you have. It’s a shame it goes to waste but, like I said before, it’s never too late. Read Parenti

              No it’s not. Lmao. Stop lying. If you mean “you need a vpn to access” That’s not blocked. It’s the easiest trick in the book. I bet every single person in here has one. Also China has their own native language speaking social medias I don’t know why they’d go to a western mostly English speaking website that’s not popular in the slightest, and don’t you know it, all you need is a free vpn you can download anywhere in the world. If you wanna talk about censorship or banning education look at the US actively banning books about lgbt and gender

                Huh…lgtbq+ is treated as “obscene” and “vulger” officially by the Chinese government. Materials on the subject are kept out if mainstream publication…OFFICIALLY.

                BTW I can’t h hear you. Lemmy.ml is blocked in China.

                  No it’s not. Porn is treated as vulgar. Romance and Gay Romance is legal. China had legal gay marriage before the US. So has Cuba.

                  you think that’s such a big gotcha. Most people in China use their own fuckin websites dude. You can go to metal shows where they show graphics of pigs being slaughtered in China, where they show gay stuff, it doesn’t matter. You can also do that stuff in USA as long as where you do it won’t be so offended they shut you down.

                  I live in a very liberal city in USA and I love metal so I see crazy edgy shit like that at shows all the time, I’ve come to learn it’s not only legal in China but it works pretty much the same way, the worse “censorship” you’d get is you might have to write a fake band name in your request to play, and I’ve known people who have done that in USA since the 80s to be able to play gigs. If you guys read a little more and go outside for once you’d see the world isn’t as scary as your online hug box tells you it is

                  Wait wait, let me guess, your website is banned in China so I can’t see you heheheheh, I’m so smart !! See, you’re a Chinese CCP bot and guess what the website is banned so that’s it!! Ha ha, can’t see you cuz it’s BANNED. IN CHINA! Can’t see it!

                    You can use sites to check if they are banned by China’s great wall. Lemmy.ml…blocked. if the Chinese leadership decided to crack down on vpn they could. Up to the whim of a single guy without any recourse. I guess that’s ok for some.

          I can’t believe the communists hate freedom so much so sad. I guess sone people just aren’t born with the courage to be free.

            We probably couldn’t have this conversation if you lived in China and you are ok with that. I mean you could sneak around and get away with it probably. FREEDOM!

                I don’t know. Much of the fediverse is blocked. Would this instance be blocked? Have to check.

                  No, I know you’re lying. You and the other person that responded to me with this little factoid y’all must love. I can promise you if a Chinese citizen thinks it’s worthwhile to access any “banned” websites like Lemmy in China they’ll just download a fucking VPN like the rest of the world. What, you think they’re scared of your Tiananmen Square posts? You know Reddit is still taking users? this ain’t r/neoliberal

                    Lemmy.ml is blocked in China. You have to subvert the Chinese government to access it. That ok with some people I suppose. So you have to use foreign technology to access foreign sites from China… that’s ?freedom? baby.
