My comment likewise touches on the fact that people living under western regimes are disappeared in regular course of business. In fact, there's far more evidence for people disappearing without any reasonable grounds in the west than there are in China.

If this was true, half of Lemmy would be in Gitmo already

Does china have a place like reddit or fediverse?

Link it up!

You can literally access the fediverse from China. It's frankly incredible that somebody can be this ignorant. 🤣

No, it's because lemmy.ml doesn't tolerate racism the way you fash instance does.

I don't realize autocrats were a protected class.

I thought we were talking about China as opposed to autocratic western regimes.
