Because the big players there are not serious idealogues, they are paid a paltry sum through private channels to constantly spread Russian and Chinese disinformation in their larger psyop campaign against the West.
Highly doubtful. The amount of time, money, and effort would be much better spent elsewhere. Lemmy’s audience is very small.
Yeah, more likely the actors on Lemmy are just useful idiots parroting propaganda points they’ve heard elsewhere.
Time
Basically none on the part of the handlers. Often this arrangement is handled by a private firm that doesn’t necessarily have to be Russian or Chinese, I have heard of one operating in Australia. The posters themselves are spending a lot of time, but they’re the ones selling it.
Money
Again, they’re not exactly paying these guys a living wage, and even if they were, it’s peanut crumbs for state-level actors.
Effort
A lot of people say that Lemmy is not worth the effort to demoralize because it’s too small, I say the effort is too small to not be worth the investment. I would even say that Lemmy users are self-selected for radicalization in some ways, broadly speaking they are fed up with corporate social media and corporatism in general.
It’s also a somewhat important step to have a place they can speak unfiltered amongst themselves, no matter how small the clubhouse is. That’s where the real funky shit happens.
I doubt those people are even aware of Lemmy, let alone hiring teams of people to post here. But regardless of how plausible it is, this is just speculation with no evidence behind it.
That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
commercial and propaganda bots have a tendency of taking small fora, and other sites with the ability to post, offline, as they overwhelm these super tiny venues, once their automated scrapers find them. There doesn’t have to be a team of people doing something other than monitoring bots.
Also, I doubt anyone gets exposed to lemmy alone. It is very reasonable to believe many spend time on places worth using actual people to tailor their messaging to, and then carry that over here, and anywhere else they go. Point being, there no place so small that it becomes void of this.
Most of the users people are complaining about are very obviously not bots though. After investigating and interacting with them, I’ve universally found that they’re just weird, terminally online people with extreme views.
Actually, an offline friend of mine was recently accused of being an online shill. I’ve been pretty skeptical of these claims for a while but having a case with definitive proof has lost me all patience for these types of accusations. There’s just no point in accusing people like this unless you have actual proof. Most people are very very bad at distinguishing real users from propaganda.
Oh, I am not trying to say these particular people are bots, I am just pointing out that lemmy is not free of bots due to its size, also that there people are not solely on lemmy, so they are likely getting propaganda , in bot farm form, elsewhere, be it the US, Russia, China, EU, Exxon, whatever.
debatable though.
Lemmy is very lefty, by nature, it could be considered that causing dissent within broadly the lefty sphere, in a targetted fashion, such as through the IP conflict, would be considered worthwhile.
It could even be worthwhile for other reasons, preventing people from caring about the ukraine conflict for example.
Though i think other people are right with the useful idiots. I would argue it’s still summing up to a propaganda outlet, it’s just free labor instead.
I agree that people here are uncritically regurgitating propaganda but of course liberals are also guilty of this. Frankly, it’s fairly difficult to avoid in this era. Most sources of information are controlled by or at minimum influenced by various powerful forces in society, each with their own interests.
I guess it is a little more surprising to see people absorbing propaganda from hostile foreign nations than from their own. But another part of me thinks I’m not being critical enough of the idea of nationalism which is a harmful and largely fictional concept.
I agree that people here are uncritically regurgitating propaganda but of course liberals are also guilty of this.
fair enough, i mean everybody is, although i think the ideology of liberalism is uniquely suited to it since it’s a sort of meta ideology in it’s own right. When appropriately used it should be pretty hard to get mislead, but of course, people aren’t very smart and use things incorrectly all the time, so that doesn’t really help much. But there’s an argument to be made for it over things like conservatism and communism where those tend to be a lot more rampant by design.
Most sources of information are controlled by or at minimum influenced by various powerful forces in society, each with their own interests.
this is true, but there is also an equally big, if not larger trap you can fall into with alternative media, just look at the republican party right now. It’s on par with the nazi propaganda machine in terms of how well it functions.
I guess it is a little more surprising to see people absorbing propaganda from hostile foreign nations than from their own.
this one is definitely the most baffling to me. The fact that US citizens will unironically consume sources like RT for actual news is wild.
But another part of me thinks I’m not being critical enough of the idea of nationalism which is a harmful and largely fictional concept.
I would argue that there is an inherently negative value in nationalism, aside from support of that governing body itself, and an innate positive value in something like patriotism instead.

Even though these countries do run media spam operations, they usually target specific events and communities with a wide reach.
Most of the people you find here will be irl people with differing views, not paid shills to spam posts.
Also by these countries, I mean every country does this. You usually don’t see US spam because they do it against Russia and China which means their spam will be in Russian, Chinese, etc.

Is there any other kind of genocide besides institutionalized?
I guess commonplace decentralized pogroms like what happened to Jews and Roma throughout Europe historically
if everyone would mutually agree on killing certain people they could commit it without an institution ig
Is class warfare institutionalized? Seems like a non conscious consensus sometimes
but they do need the state to protect their property, so it’s institutionalised imo
Is class warfare institutionalized?
More like fictionalized.
i don’t think genocide is capable of being conceptualized in any way outside of meta conceptualization.
The second you break the outside of the strict definitions of genocide, and start moving to who is doing it, the genocide is no longer relevant, you have larger concerns on your hands. (granted still all tangentially related to the genocide at hand)
But nobody ever thinks about genocide as intrinsically related to something else, it is simply an isolated definition for a specific act undertaken by a given group, against another given group.
if you wanted to break that mold you would use a different term like ethnic cleansing, for example.
I suppose a population could try to genocide another population without the government support.
I would never deny any claim of genocide, regardless of evidence, because that’s against .world’s rules. If someone tells me that France is genociding Belgians, I won’t question or dispute it because that’s against the rules. But the thing is that when a genocide has clear, documented evidence, I just find that a lot more emotionally compelling. I connect more with what’s happening when I can see a shitton of photo and video evidence of dead children in the streets than when all I have to go on is random hearsay. I guess you could say I’m a very visual person.
Pics or it didn’t happen
This comment was reported.
Instead of taking any actions, I’ll just ask this:
If the people committing the crime are great at controlling the media, it didn’t happen?
Good question.
I sometimes think about the fact that JFK fired Alan Dulles, the guy in charge of assassinating world leaders, months before he was assassinated, and that Dulles was then on the investigative committee into his death. Now, does that prove Dulles was behind the assassination? No. But it does make me go “Hmm.” But it is worth noting that if that was what happened, I certainly wouldn’t have the means at my disposal to prove it. I wasn’t on the investigative committee, after all.
Now, I might choose to believe that’s what happened, or that there was a possibility that that’s what happened. You might not. That’s fine. But what would be less fine would be if I declared anyone who doubted my conjecture and wanted concrete proof to be a redfash who blindly believes anything the US government says and should be banned and excluded from conversation.
I’ve decided to write a seperate comment for it, so… what’s that?
is it a hospital? a school? what is its purpose and why is it in the dessert
look at upper austria!!! there’s no koncentration camp here
oh
does this also apply to drawn/CGI or whatever of people being killed, or is it only real people?
my theory is that people don’t have a high enough mental bandwidth to be mad at and or care about more than one thing because it’s literally just permanent rage bait.
Say what you want about the facts of the situation, but you can’t deny that most of the posting is just rage bait.
TL;DR stop being mad about things and care about stuff that’s actually important to you. It says your mental bandwidth for more important things, like making funny memes. Instead of just being mad.
I’ve brought this up too many times to count and honesty the responses are so cookie cutter that I swear 90% of ml users are Russian trolls/bots.
we should just defederate from ml instances entirely but that would just force them to create .world accounts.
there’s no good answer other than don’t interact with them. I’ve blocked lemmy.ml and pretty much block all troll accounts when they pop up.
I really like the troll accounts. Being told that I should be killed in a genocide because I voted is exactly the kind of absurd humor I love
And that works perfectly fine. Also, I like Lemmy the size it is now, but people who want to see Lemmy grow into a mainstream platform, are shit out of luck while these folks still roam our midsts
unless we grow, in which case they get shunted into like 1% corner hole of the community somewhere that everybody points and laughs at.
Though that requires growing first lmao.

but my sources getting called “nazi blood libel propaganda” is ok, isn’t it?
Do you deny the genocide being carried out by Russia?
I’m in no position to confirm or deny such a thing right now, with the fog of war still so thick. It depends on 1) what has actually occurred vs what Western war propaganda claims has occurred[1], and 2) which of the various narrow-to-broad definitions of genocide one deploys. When everyone is blaming everyone else of genocide while Gazans are literally being intentionally snuffed out, casual accusations ring a bit hollow.
It’s funny how in Feb. of 2022, Western corporate media suddenly memory-holed their own reporting on eight years of Ukrainian government-backed fascist Banderite paramilitary attacks on eastern Ukrainians, and flipped the ethnic cleansing narrative on its head virtually overnight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory#Academic_studies_and_criticism
One of the centerpieces of the cultural cold war was the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), which was revealed in 1966 to be a CIA front. Hugh Wilford, who has researched the topic extensively, described the CCF as nothing short of one of the largest patrons of art and culture in the history of the world. Established in 1950, it promoted on the international scene the work of collaborationist academics such as Raymond Aron and Hannah Arendt over and against their Marxian rivals, including the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.

Chinese against Uighurs?
China is fairly open that the camps do exist. We also have various credible government leaks describing the size of the operation.
It should be noted that China maintains these are re-education camps intended as an anti-terrorism measure. Given their history, this is likely to be correct. To the west, re-educating to erase ones culture can be considered a cultural genocide. But since it doesn’t have the same effect as an ethnic genocide (eg mass killings) the reaction is a lot more muted.
What China does deny is that the people inside these camps are used for labour, e.g. what is effectively slavery. There’s decent evidence to suggest this is the case, but the full nature of this is not really well-known afaik.
Ukrainian Banderites in the Donbas? Exercise for the reader
The only ones to ever claim that was Russia, and they never provided any credible evidence for it. It also conveniently came after some political developments in the rest of Ukraine didn’t go Russia’s way.
The west still has free media outlets (the US less so, but in Europe the situation is better at least). Investigative journalists would definitely have jumped on a story like that if it were true, but they never managed to prove any of it.
So the genocide in Gaza is finally admitted by the liberals?
not a lib, but why would anyone here deny the gaza genocide?
Because that post is a hunt for tankies. Which is a sport done by liberals who usually support Israel in its massacre.
honestly Palestine/Hamas was trying to commit genocide too but they got uno reverse carded
Well, there was more than one uno reverse card in this story once you look a few years back
That land has traded hands for thousands of years, no doubt.
That’s a funny euphemism for settler colonialism
They are in fact trying the classical definition of genocide, the death of every Jew in Israel and the removal of the country.
Removal of a country, to my knowledge, was never part of any definition of genocide. The term genocide has always referred to people, not states.
Yes true, that was a brainfart.
Most often it’s about stateless peoples so in a way you aren’t wrong
US sponsored hate is behind those genocide accusations.

holomodor was part of Ukrainian destabilization CIA programs that started the day after Ukraine independence. During a global famine, Stalin had to deal with extortionists outside of Ukraine. Stalin was also forced to pay debt to US in food, and that food was mostly shipped from Ukraine. Ukraine did better than most USSR members. Blaming Stalin for anything/everything is popular mob rule brainworm.

China faced terrorism in Xinjiang. Fine, some people got arrested. It’s main response was education and job creation programs. Xinjiang prosperity has grown higher than average of Chinese provinces, with high investment levels. The genocide declaration is political persecution meant to impoverish the region to destabilize it rather than a principled view where “every more heavy handed act with actual documentation of intentional extermination” (Palestine) would be genocide.
The US has political corruption power in imposing determinations of genocide. Reality has no relevance to US Empire’s political will.
CIA was formed in 1947, Holodomor genocide was 1932-33🤔
The genocide revisionist propaganda was started in 1990s by CIA supported Ukrainian activists. For sure, at the time, the Ukrainian Church were loud complainers to distance/divide themselves from Russian Church, but there is no empirical evidence of Ukrainians being targeted in a difficult situation.
The genocide revisionist propaganda was started in 1990s by CIA supported Ukrainian activists.
Then some of them went back in time to the mid-1970s, when they told me of having to leave Ukraine and go to Canada because of the famines and massacres.

As Marco Rubio, or US state department, might say after a video documented destruction of a Palestinian hospital, I do not comment on individual cases, we will “very seriously” look into it. Hamas must stop building their military bases under hospitals, and when we kill and rape them all, it will be 100% Hamas’s fault.
There are stories. Judging by another comment that if Xi doesn’t like Winnie the Poo references, you should not only believe them, as your partriotic duty, but at the heart of every unverifiable story, you should also place direct blame at top of Chinese government.
That the region is peaceful and free today should score some points relative to such stories.
I suppose that BBC report could be wrong, but I think the BBC are usually pretty accurate, so it could well be an accurate report. It looks like the US, UK, and Australian governments believed that the report was accurate.

Repeat after me: The Chinese military massacred students on Tiananmen square in 1989, and Xi Jinping resembles Winnie the Pooh.
The Chinese military massacred students on Tiananmen square in 1989.
That is not what happened. In fact, in the square itself, literally no one died.

Afterward, in Operation Yellowbird, “brave dissident leaders” were evacuated by western intelligence agencies. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to question whether they may already have had close ties to these agencies before the protests began.Rrrright… Your narrative is contradicting itself. The military has no business inside a country not at war. That’s what police is for. If you are linking to pictures of tanks in the streets & violent clashes and somehow think about how “it’s the fault of the civlians”, you need to seek mental help. That cognitive dissonance is indicative of a psychological problem.

only because some province prospers, does not mean it doesn’t repress a group of people, when slavery was still a thing in the us the slaver states actually prospered the most

The US has political corruption power in imposing determinations of genocide. Reality has no relevance to US Empire’s political will.
ok, but from what I’ve read they’re sterilizing uighur women, kill them enslave them and “reeducate” them (reeducation is a nice term for destroying a culture)

so we agree, that wikipedia is an independent source? ok
I’m not sure what your intention is there. You asked for information about something and I provided it.
I cited Wikipedia as a quick reference for something uncontroversial, which, as per your request, is independent of Chinese censorship. That doesn’t mean I treat it like the Word of God. That’s not really how sources work. For instance, a lot of the information in the article you linked traces back to Adrian Zenz. Adrian Zenz was also the primary source cited in two of your three previous links - the other of which made no mention of genocide.
Lots of countries have internment camps. Would you find it objectionable if I said that Biden was directly committing genocide by detaining undocumented migrants in interment camps?
-
so all my listes sources are us propaganda?
Absolutely. Including the US led corruption of UN. You can tell by the lack of documented examples. The undercover propaganda documentaries are jokes that don’t prove anything other than “Education involves similar to US pledge of allegiance “right answers” to CCP is good”.
People getting arrested for terrorist incitement/acts is not genocide. Education and job creation prosperity is not genocide. Xinjiang is also exempt from 1 child policy. The prosperity includes poverty alleviation, restaurant and cultural funding booms. It is a nice welcoming place to visit. You can see tourism videos on Youtube.
but from what I’ve read they’re sterilizing uighur women,
There are reports of this. (not your slavery claim). Such reports can be coached for political diminishment purposes. The more that you want BS to be true, the friendlier you are to volunteering liars. Uyghur used to be allowed to have more children than Han. New policy is that all are equal.
https://www.ceicdata.com/en/china/population-birth-rate-by-region/cn-population-birth-rate-xinjiang
This happens to be higher than Chinese average, and triple the birth rate of US, with the 2023 bounceback, but even at 2021 (covid) low, over double the US. So why is US genociding itself according to this politicization? There is US politicization that “transgender immigrant cat eating rapists are invading the country” too. Just because the next congress might successfully impeach Biden for such treason, won’t make it true instead of political BS. The US, like Israel, is capable of lying, and willing to, and now in fact desperate to make any and every, lie to advance its empire.
ok, you’re baslly saying china is a perfect utopia and everything bad about them is made up by the us, got it
you see, the world becomes very simple when you think like that
but there must surely be some sources that help your claim that everything of that is just propaganda
ok, you’re baslly saying china is a perfect utopia and everything bad about them is made up by the us, got it
Why do libs think that pushing back on the most egregious claims about a country means that a person considers it, “A perfect utopia?” There are plenty of bad things about China that aren’t made up, just as there are for any country. The world is in fact, quite complex when you practice basic critical thinking and treat claims with skepticism and take the good with the bad. It’s much simpler when you just accept any negative claim anybody says about whichever country the news tells you to hate.
The sources you cite rely on Adrian Zenz, an evangelical Christian fundamentalist who works for an organization called, “The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation,” an organization with ties to the Heritage Foundation and which counted everyone who died of COVID as a, “Victim of Communism.” Somehow. That’s not a reliable source.
Ukraine did better than most USSR members.
“Better” only in the sense of having a higher death toll: 7 to 10 million out of a total population of about 30 million.
Xinjiang prosperity has grown higher than average of Chinese provinces, with high investment levels.
Those high investment levels being funneled exclusively to Han Chinese who have been brought in to displace the Uighurs who have been put into camps.
The genocide declaration is political persecution
Right, and putting people into camps in order to exterminate their ethnic identity isn’t.
“Better” only in the sense of having a higher death toll: 7 to 10 million out of a total population of about 30 million.
