And no USian flag either

Did you miss the “one country two systems” -> “national security law” -> anyone who opposes the ruling party goes straight to jail thing.

(Which happened 20 years later).

I don’t think they will straight up invade.

I think they will blockade, fund disinformation campaigns, increase “cooperation”, it’ll be a government capture à la Hong Kong.

Lemmy.ml is not anti-imperialist. They remove anything critical of China and Russia, both imperialist states.

Instances that are actually anti-imperalism in that they criticise both Western and Russian/Chinese etc imperialism might be lemmy.dbzer0.com or slrpnk.net.

lemmy.ml is arguably one of the most imperialist instances especially in terms of censorship.

I’ve had trouble with it using a vpn and privacy browsers. It often blocks me until I use a default browser.

Yeah. “No shit” was my first thought as well.

Won’t complain if this inquiry means it makes a round in the news though. So many people are still clinging onto the myth the colonisers were nice people brining civilisation or some shit.

Yeah. Me choosing to use a vpn and a privacy respecting browser has earnt me a constant captcha

What do you mean “is there proof”.

MBFC isnt some professional shit. It’s some guys opinions about websites.

It’ll call something like the economist which has endorsed the UK conservative party in the past decade “center left” for not being straight up facist.

It’s not a very high quality thing.

Ah the club world cup, where they can’t even fill in seats in the second largest city in the US for the two biggest football clubs on earth.

Yeah, I don’t think losing the club world cup is a great loss. Even amongst football fans it’s super controversial and a lot of people are boycotting it.

Now he can add “Endorsed by PoopSpiderman” on his campaign website.

Also the “glorious” Daily Mail.

Depends what you mean. Fox opinion and the TV is on par with NYPost, perhaps even worse.

Foxnews.com general online news articles is better than NYPost.

I’ve seen lefty people on the lemmyverse actually share the New York Post unironically because they happen to like a headline.

(The New York Post is a tabloid on par with Fox, in fact they’re owned by the same company as Fox News).

You wonder? Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch, one of the richest men on earth, who literally owns every other newspaper in australia, and a good chunk of the british press as well.

There is news that’s way more well done than BBC, like the intercept, byline times, propublica etc

And keeping someone in prison for decades!

Decent News Service? The BBC is at best problematic.

Damn Snowball. Had to give us hope and recreate similar hierarchies.
