      Mentioning it? This site is surprisingly a ghost town when it comes to an actual revolution being repressed. Going to a protest near your politicians or calling/writing them.

                I do see doubt put on the genocide label for what’s happening to the Uyghur Muslims. I also don’t think that label fits.

                Maybe I’m just ignorant, it’s one of those issues you don’t hear much about. I saw this the other day and thought it was interesting

                Not trying to argue with you so much as hope you got some links I can check to make sure I ain’t missing big pieces.

                I know a lot of arrests were made in like 2018ish and they had camps for them but I thought they transfer people to standard jails or let them out by now tbh.

    Almost as if the lemmites “communist, socialist, anarchist” population are fascist authoritarians hiding behind a mask, posing for online clout.

      There’s not really a lot of actual socialists here. Tankies and accelerationists far as the eye can see, but surprisingly few socialists.

        There aren’t really that many tankies, they are just extremely vocal. I suspect a lot of them are actually alt accounts too.

        Tankies are gonna tankie, that’s nothing new. There are plenty of leftists siding with the Iranian revolutionaries on Lemmy, so what the OP says (that leftists in general are silent on Iran) is false. Unless they’re specifically talking about tankies, but nowhere do I see them making that distinction.

    They’re not revolutionizing in the correct revolutionary way, which makes them bourgeoise agents of Western Imperialism.
