Sure, if you are comfortable with the moral liability of fascism them we probably don’t get along.

Maybe we don’t associate Biden with fascism frog
You can literally travel to China and find out yourself
Lmao. State secrets are a patriotic duty, comrade. But you are right, they could definitely just infiltrate the instance with a sufficient number of terminally online information warriors.
They all have .ml and .world accounts now too. If you dig through hexbear you can find plenty of threads straight up exhorting the creation of troll alts.
Nah, I think Lemmy is treated as a training ground. Think about this - if an actual Russian or Chinese state propaganda agency approached Dessalines and offered to fund Lemmy development in exchange for getting their agents on the admin list, how quickly would he nut himself?
Yes, a significant portion of them are high fiving over their cubicle walls in Russia and China. I am convinced that Lemmy is a training ground for these efforts before they get moved up to Facebook and reddit.
It’s pretty easy to spot the difference between the propagandists and the teenagers though. Teenagers are not well connected to history or world events and clearly just work within their very small bubble of edgy contrariness. The propagandists have a broader self awareness and regurgitate or even connect multiple talking points much more skillfully. Though on Lemmy, “skillfully” needs some qualification, since there is a lot of really bad and transparent propaganda here. Like I said, it’s clearly the practice squad, with a handful of higher profile lieutenants.
I legitimately had a neighbor tell me “this is a truck neighborhood.” In a “joking, not joking” sort of situation.
Almost all of these “national security” trials are done in complete secret by the Adjudicative Committee, which is a political CCP body that oversees the public legal system. Its exact workings are a state secret, but it generally reviews all court proceedings and defers to the public court for most matters. However for any case which involves foreign affairs or national security, there is a high chance that the Adjudicative Committee will hold a national security trial in secret and deliver the verdict to the appointed trial judge, who will read the verdict into the public record.
You don’t even have to say it. Go hand out “free Taiwan” pamphlets in tiananmen square and I promise you that you will be arrested extremely quickly and tried in secret. Your “trial” will be a judge telling your lawyer the charges, verdict and sentence to an otherwise empty courtroom. If you are very lucky you will be deported with time served.

Sucking Xi Jinping’s salty taint.
Death always to tyrants. Overthrow the CCP. Democracy in Beijing!
People who place it hanging against the wall stand to wipe, like children.
Israel would solo Russia ggez.
I demand that Biden solve the climate crisis by personally eating ten babies every day.
All that does is make them more powerful because there are fewer voices pushing back against them.
Because the Democratic tent is filled with lazy cynics who actively sabotage outreach efforts, because mindlessly parroting propaganda is way easier than actual civic engagement.
It’s honestly extremely sad that the primary requirement to be a leader is “ability to speak perfectly on stage for 2 hours.”
