          I agree. I would love to entirely block them, but as long as Lemmy is developed and controlled by tankies, this won’t happen. I’m convinced that they made the user-facing instance block feature so shitty on purpose, so people can’t entirely block their tankie instances on a user level. Because they know that they are annoying as fuck, and half the Fediverse would block them immediately.

      We’ve got bigger fish to fry at home. My government is actively fueling a genocide in Gaza and doing business with a shitton of other genocidal countries, so virtue signalling with our military by crossing some random strait in east Asia doesn’t make me feel any better about anything.

        Okay, but can you at least admit that China is doing a genocide against Muslims and that we need to wage a holy war to end their tyrannical communist rein and restore a godly liberal democracy to their shores?

          I agree that they are doing a genocide against the Uyghurs and that should be stopped. I don’t agree with any “holy wars” or whatever you’re on there, and I’m not a fan of “liberal democracy” either, since I myself am a communist. I don’t see how the german navy crossing through the taiwan strait will change any of that, or if it has absolutely any value, since Germany very well funds an active genocide right now and they don’t seem to have a problem with that or the tyrannical Israeli government either. This is just more pathetic virtue signalling.

            They’ll be greeted as liberators, obviously.

        Yep but if you think that word is too biased you can also call them communists, climate activists or snowflakes. Which one you pick depends solely on your own mood.

          Not used in good faith here. Hateful nationalist garbage people with nothing better to do and no original thoughts. Yeah, a 1/4 of the world’s population are terrorists because some government claimed them. I can’t stand ignorant mouth breathers…
