(Takes a deep breath, clears mind, gets into character)

This meme format is a product of capitalism, posted to a capitalist instance, and you should be ashamed. Instead of posting an image of a capitalist pig, why aren't you out in the streets burning shit down??/? There's no good capitalist. If you're not out in the streets overthrowing capitalism and burning everything down, RIGHT NOW, you're part of the problem! Rabble Rabble Rabble, guillotines, violence violence violence.

In a nutshell, anyway. Or at least that's how it was from users there on every 3rd post/comment before my instance finally defederated.

The main problem is that any criticism of China is met with an instant ban, as per "Rule 1, 2".

Their ideology is inconsistent with their rhetoric. They do support capitalism and billionaires if it's anti-west. I just poke a bit here and there with a bit of warning that it's not east vs west but rather it's rich vs poor.

Well, I was banned from ml because of a conversation on another instance. It was something about reporting all ml posts as a rule 1 violation... I guess that could be considered inciting unrest against the CCP and Mother Russia.

Oof. That is a lot to take in. Thank you for this; it all makes sense now.

I mean, my example is over-simplified and slightly exaggerated (though not by much), and it just got old FAST. No idea if it's still like that or if they've toned down as an instance, but I've been happy without them, so not gonna rock that particular boat.
