Hosted by President Xi Jinping, the summit was attended by 51 African heads of state or government and two presidential representatives, representing 53 of the 55 member states of the African Union (AU), along with … Continue reading Xi Jinping: the China-Africa relationship is now at its best in history
Instead, it seems you got very defensive for, frankly, a very neutral comment. I didn’t even comment about the content of the articles you posted or shared my opinion. I just said that you had all of them ready, what’s wrong with that?
And why did the mods delete my comment? Was it offensive? Did i use foul language? Lol. I just got here, and there’s barely engagement. Kinda sad since this is one of the biggest “world news” subs on the fediverse.
The other fellow was being a real asshole, so I think perhaps the mod was primed to a very hostile reading (e.g. of our friend yog being a paid shill or something), since I think you were being obnoxious but it’s counter-productive to take mod action against something so trivial when just responding suffices.
If you’re interested in an answer, while I don’t entirely agree with Yog on most issues relating to China, Marxists are obliged to have quite a lot of evidence to back up their claims while liberals can just sort of coast off of cultural norms because their ideology is already hegemonic. I don’t keep a list of links because I don’t take notes for almost anything, but I definitely make sure to remember the titles (etc.) of useful articles so I can retrieve them in a circumstance like this. That’s very inefficient though, so it makes sense that yog would just keep them on-hand for common liberal talking points to prevent needing to look them up over and over.
Thanks for that, THIS is the response that i was hoping to get from OP lmao.
Im not aware of the other conversation that was happening. Maybe the context of that is why they’re perceiving new posts as something automatically aggressive. Still, they can’t just knee jerk delete a comment just because of something that’s unrelated to it, since it was just a side comment.
The context of this conversation is now lost because of it.
I’m pretty sure Yog isn’t the one doing the deleting, though I don’t know 100%, but you can still see deleted comments in the modlog, so the context isn’t actually lost, just inconvenient (that’s how I know what all the comments were, since I got here after the deletions). Anyway, I’ve antagonized yog multiple times and he’s never deleted any of my comments. My view on him is that he’s very driven and determined with his agitating and gets a little caught up in his passion for it when he gets resistance from people, especially since a substantial amount of that resistance if from genuinely reactionary assholes. I can understand being frustrated with him, though.

Believe it or not, you’re not the first troll to bring up this cliche.
How was i trolling, lol?

If that’s what you genuinely believe, that’s even more depressing.
Yeah, you’re not being productive in this conversation. Don’t be so thin-skinned.
