The German word for C sounds like the German word for toe even tho the latter isn’t written with a C. Now you know.

I first read trans penguins and thought it’s fake since penguins can’t fly but now it seems legit

I went to a protest recently that had an counter protest and when our speaker talked about Israel killing children, someone on the other side unironically shouted “child soldiers”. I wish this was a strawman but it’s not.

I don’t care about spin offs anymore. I just want to get back to the prime timeline. I’m sick of all the goatees (to use a metaphor that’s not on the nose but somewhere else in the face)

When they came for the…

You have not proven that there are people “fighting back” against the CPC

And I specifically said I’m not going to. I’m not going to spend energy to research a point just to give y’all the opportunity to reject my sources anyway. I know what to expect from an online discussion and what not and this is an agree to disagree situation. I see now how it can be read as racist which I didn’t get before and that’s more than I expected from this.

Oh, don’t worry. I usually stay away from .ml and I’m reminded about why that is. This time I wanted to know something and it makes a little more sense than before so thanks to everyone included in this conversation

Thanks

Can confirm

Let’s just face the fact that we are too far away to convince each other. If you don’t belief that censorship is real and people fight back, none of my sources would ever convince you. I came here to understand, not to convince or be convinced

You can’t just throw an emoji on people popular on your instance and expect people to understand the reference is what I’m saying. I mean, I know citations are in brackets and I even know the podcast but I still didn’t make the connection

This at least makes sense. I never encountered it so I’m still not convinced. Can you link some?

Also, this gives me “critiquing Israel is antisemitism” vibes. Might be a false tho. I think it’s important to question all power and all states and I would never be offended when someone mocks my head of state (who does not only look like Burns but resembles him in other ways too)

If you want to be treated with respect, don’t use ingroup language with outsiders

Oh yes, this is the kind of reaction I expected from the start. Thank others that they proved me wrong.

From what I found, Obama was compared to T*gger. Sure, I see the rhyme and I’m sure it doesn’t matter what I think but I think this is far fetched. Other leaders were compared to other figures in the franchise. If you try to find something, you will. source

Also, this seams to be huge within China. Chinese people mocking their leader and the state censors it. And when people mock their leader, I side with the people, not the leader.

1. I stand corrected. This really is a serious answer. I finally understand the point.
2. I still disagree.

When I think Winnie the Pooh I think round face much more than yellow. Yellow is a very common color in cartoons. You can’t deny that. If that was the only reason, there’s a whole pool to chose from.

Comparing black people with non human monkeys plays on the historical “scientific racism” that puts white people on the top and black people somewhere close to apes and Asians somewhere in between (depending on political affiliations). Nowhere in history has anyone put Asians close to bears. Even if the motivation is skin color (which I cannot disprove), the comparison to black people as monkeys falls flat.

I’m almost sure I won’t get a serious answer but how is a joke about a specific person racist? It’s not about stereotypes, just similarity to a cartoon figure. I live in Europe and my head of state looks like Mr Burns (he really does). Is that racism against white people? What is the difference?

Soviet Union was a colonial state. North Asia (also known as Siberia) were its colonies and continue to be colonized by modern day Russia
