Kind of amazing how many instances are blocking lemmygrad as soon as they’re created. I know that liberals really don’t like dissenting opinions but goddamn

shakes fist BEEHAW … and other instences in your vain that are painfully liberal, but they all feel almost exactly the same so ill just call them all part of the beehaw colony
Lol well beehaw is completely down right now, just completely flat on the ground dead, nothing is loading.
I know I’m beating a dead horse but I find it funny that beehaw claims they want to “help to connect underprivileged and minority individuals with education and civic participation by promoting a healthier online experience.”. Meanwhile all marginalised minorities flock to communism and lemmygrad and their admin team is white person, white person, and white person.
Well there are different degrees of how left you are, liking the CCP and the DPRK is too much for most, even communists
Between 75 and 90% of our users are a minority in some way: either in gender or sexual identity, skin colour or religion.
They have no problem liking the DPRK and CPC.
Beehaw isn’t even on the left, I’m not sure what you think communists are. They’re the well-intentioned liberals MLK was talking about.
I would be really interested if those are actual numbers. It seems like a bit too high, but shame there is basically no way to know for sure without some privacy issues.
We’ve never ran a website survey exactly for the privacy reason, but based on the active users on the site as well as account request answers, the very least amount of minorities on Lemmygrad is 50% of users. 75 seems more realistic though.
Anecdotally, it feels that way. It’s one of the great things about this place.
If liking communism is too much for communists then they might not be communists…
Everyone has limits, for some it’s concentration camps. It’s not something tribal where you have to support someone because they call themself communists. You can agree in principle but not in execution
I think the general consensus on this instance is that the actual execution isn’t the attrocity horror show that so many make it out to be: that capitalist dominance of media and education has either ridiculously distorted or outright fabricated many of the atrocities attributed to AES. This doesn’t mean people here like/support AES uncritically or unconditionally. However, the criticisms that will be levied against states/orgs here are going to be quite different from those of the more “libertarian” left.
I guess we disagree on that, I see no reason to make out some communist countries as hellholes (DPRK) while others like Cuba get a free pass. Other than that I consider DPRK leadership as more of a personal cult disguised with a communist state, and why communists would be compelled to defend that kind of stratification of society is beyond me
to be perfectly honest, I don’t even know why we comment on dprk. It’s extremely hard to know anything accurate about them, our 2 main sources are defectors paid off by South Korea or state propganda, which I have literally no way to tell is truthful or not (there’s also defectors who say they want to go back, but tbh I don’t really trust any anecdote).
Western media constantly makes up the most outlandish things about them (everyone has to get the same haircut or they and 3 generations of their family get sent to gulag!?!?!), and ultimately they aren’t a big player in global affairs, so I just don’t really get the point of having arguments about them. Let’s end the sanctions, and let north korean communists deal with their own problems (whether that’s using the state or not).

Where is your evidence of concentration camps, the ones in Xinjiang have been long sense debunked
I’m mostly talking about the ones in DPRK. The claimed Chinese ones are more like culture erasure camps, I don’t know how you guys feel about those
They’re goddam schools. Also what “camps” in the DPRK? give source?
