Commies again with the thinnest of skins
Jesus with the projection.
Uh, I don't think many commies think of themselves as future millionaires? Or at least in the conventional sense

Lemmy is whatever we make it, except for the communism posts that love communism until they realize workers need representation. I half believe those are Chinese bots or high school kids who are stupid enough to believe the Chinese bots.
You may wanna try a different instance if all that is getting to you
Or just block some communities
Got new for you champ China doesn't gaf about communism... and they sure as fuck don't care enough to deploy bots on lemmy... The fediverse maybe...
Right. Magically, everyone on the Internet has become infatuated with communism out of thin air over the last few years. Must just be my paranoia to surggest influence from a hostile government.

Homie did you repress COVID? Anyone that wasn't removed about wearing a mask was discussing why this system isn't working for them. Sorry you weren't invited to the discussion.
How do you account for the vast amount of anti-CPC Communists, Socialists, and Anarchists, if this "influence from a hostile government" is so effective? Might it be simpler to see that Capitalism's increasing failure has driven more people in developed countries towards radicalization, especially as generations are further removed from the Red Scare?
It only takes a few convincing sock accounts not even 0.1% of there resources and woosh half the userbase of this site.wants a violent uprising and to eat the rich. Especially with a site like lemmy as it already has a really small suspectible and easy-to-manipulate userbase whom will believe anything there spoonfed
I believe and there's evidence to suggest that both China and Russia both have an industry based upon spreading political propaganda for there own self-gain and interest on the western Internet. Entire office cubicles filled with monitors displaying social media sites big and small.3.5 hard drives filled with tankie memes and "stopping the intolerant " posters computer keyboard's tapping away while groups of highly intelligent people spread highly sophisticated pieces of propoganda and attempt to silence there opponents and spread lies about them but this is just a conspiracy a CONSPIRACY THEORY
Edit: It's not even a conspiracy it's a real thing This took me 5 seconds of googling

While all of this is great for Russia doing this.
Is there any evidence China does?
Yes. I have posted these links multiple times now.

Also the fifty cent party a Chinese troll farm based entirely on spreading propaganda for the ccp

This took me 5 seconds of research. If were being passive aggressive here ive gotta say. are you sure you didn't get dropped on the head as a baby or eat copious amounts of lead
Haha naw I just kind wanted some one to post this information.
Honestly I still don't think there's much to gain from influencing lemmy users. But I know it's a game of attrition you have to do it everywhere on as many social networks as possible to cast the widest net.
I don't believe there are any states trying to influence. Lemmy although you just can't be certain these days. I do think it's possible lemmys the perfect breeding ground for propoganda especially considering a good chunk say 40% of lemmy are tankies
tankies is a term to decribe someone whom holds marxist/stalinist/Communist politcal viewsand are very suspectible to propoganda.
