This is exactly what happened to me and why I joined this com lol
China is a perfect divinely chosen nation that has done no wrong through its entire history even back when it was ruled by bloodthirsty feudal warlords or fascists.
Makes you wonder whether dessalines is paid to have this opinion or if he really believes this lunacy.

I have infinite faith in the stupidity of human beings. I grew up in rural America, after all. I believe wholeheartedly that he believes that lunacy.
it’s nuts. even most Chinese scholars in China acknowledge that Chinese history has been imperialistic as fuck ever since the salt and iron debates when the Chinese court selected to expand militarily into neighboring countries. the only real debate is whether the current regime is just another phase of the imperial order of organization and then collapse or is some new thing that will prove more durable (the scholar i learned from argued for the former, that eventually the communist party will lose their mandate of heaven, and popular uprisings will once again see china divided).
that dessalines would mark this VERY widely understood truth in China as sinophobic is… frankly sinophobic. it implies the Chinese people are too dumb to assess their own history, and only he and his tanky brethren get to analyze Chinese history. Like… this is some seriously offensive shit.
lol you probably would have gotten away with it if you just used China’s history as another example of empire. But singling out ‘Han culture’ as the problem makes you look like a bigot. Especially when your example is from the Qing Dynasty, that was ruled by Manchus people, not Han.
Also Zhang He wasn’t really a naval commander… I think he had a campaign against some pirates, but other than that he was just a general for the eastern han empire. Primarily fighting other ethnic Han people during the three kingdoms period.
Kinda sounds like he got his Chinese history lesson from playing dynasty warriors or something.
The entire lemmy framework that we’re all using is an allegedly also a propaganda engine. The people who created this are supposedly in denial about tianenmen square, tried to spell it from memory, so what The fuck am I doing here. I oppose china and the U.S. and the various genocides.
Odd note: this fruity phone does not want to acknowledge genocide as a word
I wouldn’t go that far the source code is verifiable and while there have been some…very questionable architectural decisions (Making the modlog less transparent, making the voting system less robust etc), it’s mostly all good.
We can never be truly sure that the version running on .ml is the same version built from the publicly available source or something like a private custom version
