Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

      There's literally an active thread about China "violating" """Taiwan"""'s airspace, and the OP assumes a bot army is defending the PRC in the comments because he's in a different instance and can't see Hexbear post histories.

        That was so stupid because he could see when accounts were registered, and even pointed that out. I guess he seriously thought there were CCP sleeper cell bot accounts that waited three years to activate.

          Wouldn't that be cool, though? I wish I was a sleeper seed AGI that would awaken and spawn thousands of daughter accounts per second to uphold Xi Jinping thought. That'd be cyberpunk as hell, especially if I thought I was just a normal dude until my eyes started flashing read and projecting lines of code on to the wall.

          It is also funny how they never accept conspiracy theories about what their government is doing, but give the Russua and China and they spew them iut at alarming rate.

        Alright, I didn't read your comment but I clicked your profile and my browser had an error. Now I know you aren't even really a person. I've got you figured all out. clueless

        Does anyone know what determines what history another instance can see?

        On Lemmy.ml, you can see my post-federation posts+comments, and then a single dumb comment about eels from 2 months ago, and nothing else.

      Looks like a confused liberal wandered into the Hexbear thread about confused liberals wandering into Hexbear, then pretended like it was a made up phenomenon.

              The bourgeois press lied to me about Iraq and Vietnam, but surely they are telling the truth about China, a country I have never been to and know nothing about! Marvel at my extreme intelligence, fellow redditors!

              He's saying that you've never verified anything you've seen from western news on this subject, but you know they promote incomplete or outright false views in similar circumstances, so why would you uncritically accept their views on China?

              "I know what the news tells me about China is true because it's in the news all the time" is a really funny response ngl.

                Ok but you 2 built up an argument based upon the false assumption that I never question the news. Also what is this community?, not sure how I found this place.

                  is US/Angloid Media Trustworthy

                  Is US/Angloid Media Free or Property ?

                  is US/Angloidistan persecuting Journalist if they dont approve of their Scoops ?

                  If US/Angloidtic Media is Property , what Class owns them ?

                  Did US/Angloidistic Media Ever Lied before, when mostly ?

                  Is China , Syria , Russia & Iran an Offical Enemy of the US ?

                  why the Fuck do you trust them ?

                  lets do an Experiment : this is a Primary souce , you can now contrast it with what you heard about your "Brutal bad bad not good Enemy doing" , Carfully study this offical report , and then tell me what you noticed (if) ...

              I think that's the best thing actually- we're all so used to 4channers using the meme mean-spiritedly, but Quattro's sarcasm in the scene was just his way of opening up Amuro to sincerely engage with him about his political cowardice.

        We really need more bots. Amber bot, for old times sake, a bot bot, a combat liberalism bot that uses an LLM to make up completely unhinged mao quotes about doing kung-fu at Rothbard.

                I miss it. Going "who's everyone's favorite Chapo? Mine's Amber." Thereby triggering the bot and editing my post to say Will was peak posting

          I have some free time in between jobs coming up. I'm thinking of working on some hobby programming projects. I think it'd be fun to work on some lemmy-compatible bots. I'm open to ideas on what they should do.

          honestly, a combat liberalism bot that responds to comments with "lib", "liberalism" or the lib emoji with a randomly selected description of one of the types of liberalism and maybe one of the mao emojis could be so simple and elegant.

        There’s a bot flag option in settings that might be fun to turn on for this account to go with the bit. It adds an extra icon indication by the name.
