Oh, brilliant. Accidentally tripped into the lemmy.ml thought-police zone and dared to breathe oxygen that wasn’t pre-approved by the Ministry of Online Correctness. Imagine my surprise when my lukewarm take on China’s checks notes flawless human rights record got nuked faster than a Tibetan monastery in the cultural revolution archives. The irony of Western tankies cosplaying as bastions of free speech while wielding the banhammer like a digital Tiananmen Square reenactment isn’t lost on me. But hey, why engage with dissent when you can just yeet it into the memory hole? Turns out, federated platforms are just a game of ideological whack-a-mole. Post anything that doesn’t align with the Party-approved narrative and you’ll find yourself exiled to the cyber-gulag of defederation. How very critical support of them

It truly is really odd to see a forum (even one banned in China) repeating the same anti-worker “truthspeak” that state propaganda uses. Even in this article China frames asteroid defense as a patriotic mission, but the job ads demand loyalty to the Party over expertise, and their “international cooperation” leaves out key players. Marx taught us (though some seem to have strayed far) that history is shaped by class struggle, yet here we see ruling powers using fear to push orbital militarization disguised as “defense.” Lenin warned that state narratives often hide their true purpose of controlling workers and dividing solidarity. Another distraction from the real enemy: those exploiting celestial events to strengthen ruling-class power.
