i love tankies obsession over china.
like china is one of the most capitalist countries in the world
- A few years ago, China's National People's Congress overtook the US Congress for the number of members that are (USD) millionaires.
What even is rule 1
- .ml Instance Rule 1 is "officially": No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
  
  The apples represent tanks. So posting images of apples is bigotry against tankies!
  New policy: always reply to tankies with images of apples and a banana.
  
  no sinophobia apparently, eventhough sino, "countryphobia isnt an actual hate like with race, or a person of a specific class."
- The alternate to the less popular rule 2 that encompasses banning anything remotely critical of any of their favorite dictators.
  
  Yeah, months ago I posted an article from a Chinese research group, in a Chinese university, published by the CCP, about how 1 billion people live on less than 340 dollars a month, which, by Chinese standards, is poverty, and most of the rest of the population wasn't making much more. This didn't get me banned, but they deleted the post, under rule 2. Oops 1billion people were actually not pulled out of poverty according to China's own financial research.
  Within a week of the article started hitting western news sources it all but vanished, in normal media, very suddenly, as the CCP suppressed it. So apple, and tree.
- Don't talk about Tankie Club.
jokes on them, lemm.ee accounts won't be active 6 months from now. lots of members have a second account somewhere else by now, including TachyonTele
We need to put to bed the fantasy that China can do no wrong.
What are they censoring in EvE this time?
