I’m definitely going to trust a .ml on a topic about the Chinese government
Absolute baby behavior
Le big tankie Bloomberg and evil stalinist CNBC
I would tell you to go back to your echo chamber but if you don't even trust sources from pro-capitalist, pro-west sources, just because a "tankie" sourced it then you're way too far gone for any form of discussion
Oh no! More .ml comments to shame me!
Let me be clear - I will not, ever, believe anything, anywhere on Lemmy, anyone tells me about the Chinese government. I don’t even think you’re necessarily in the wrong in this particular instance, it’s just not even worth considering it.
Such a principled stance. You should add that to your profile.
Amazing. Even Western corporate media articles magically transform into $evil_country
propaganda when posted by le evil tankies.
