Just to follow up on this. I sent an email to this one as well, and I have not yet received a response.

I tried it with the email found at the bottom of this page. Probably couldn’t have failed any more spectacularly.

Yeah whenever someone asks me how they can do the kind of thing that you need to contact support for on youtube, I just have to laugh. It’s such a weird thing to try to get across to someone that this company literally does not even pretend to care. They will not listen to your concerns, they will not help you with anything, they will not explain their actions.

Redditor: China bad, chinese bad, chinese evil and gross (+9393019345, goldx100)

normal person: uh, maybe cool it with the racism? (-49390191904049292990401)

wow thats some shit. you can tell he normally spends his time in echo chambers where he can say that kind of thing and no one calls him out, i dont think he even has any idea why people are getting annoyed

i wanna see a video where someone doesn’t softball it. just tell the creepy weirdo that he’s being sexist and to go fuck himself.

Sure, I’ve got “apolitical” friends who tend toward the subtle racism, classism, etc inherent to liberal ideology. All you can really do is push back against it when it comes up.

Absolutely, yeah, I extend this to Nazis. You’re not gonna catch me shedding any tears over dead nazis, but executing prisoners in the name of revenge is still the wrong choice. Imprisonment and execution should be done pragmatically, not to satisfy one’s bloodlust. People should be imprisoned if they would otherwise be likely to harm innocent people. They should be executed if the former is true, and imprisonment is simply not an option. People should be released from whatever imprisonment they are in at the very moment it can be reasonably believed that they no longer pose a threat to innocent people. Any time someone spends in prison should be dedicated to, as efficiently as possible, rehabilitating them so that they will stop being a threat to innocent people as soon as possible.

True injustice is wasting time, energy, and resources which could be used to help people in the name of revenge.

Punitive “justice” is shit, if you truly believe in it you need to re-evaluate your position. There is no justice in revenge.

He risked his life fighting fascists, which is cool. He came away from the conflict with the opinion that “communists are just as bad” which is dumb, though considering the sectarian violence he experienced while trying to fight fascists, it can kind of be understood how he’d come away with that opinion. Doesn’t excuse it of course, and it certainly doesn’t excuse the fact that he only ever criticized communists from that point onward.

His fiction writing sucks ass, not exclusively for the anti-communist messaging.

On a personal level he was shit, possibly an attempted rapist (haven’t read up on that accusation too well, but i can believe it), homophobic, and racist.

So in short, he sucked, but I guess not as bad as he could’ve sucked. Not exactly a high bar to clear.

I imagine a similar situation was happening in China because when you live in a particular system you tend to take it for granted

I’ve got a Chinese friend and this is kinda the impression I got talking to her about socialism. She was surprised to learn I was interested in socialism, but also didn’t really have much of an opinion on it or the Chinese government or any of that stuff, cause it’s just not something she’s thought about that much. Something she was taught about in school and then moved on from.

You could simply upload new, better versions as you mess with it over time, and set the previous versions to unlisted as you go. That way any previous links wouldn’t be broken, but you’d have improved versions to send people moving forward.

the yellow speech is iconic though, how could you remove its beautiful color

Sure, certainly it’s better to use communist sites for our own purposes, but the point of making Wikipedia suck less is to start to erode away at the pervasive propaganda the “apolitical” folks absorb.

if only it were true :(

That’s awesome. I hope it works out.

Ah but you see comrades…

Reject toothbrush. Return to monke.

They autoban anyone who has ever posted in cth and are extremely hostile if you suggest that you shouldn’t have been banned.

Yeah, as soon as I considered that as a possibility I swapped to a fresh account. Doing my part to help the subs I migrate to not get banned. Doubt it will make that big a difference though.

Yeah, that was my first guess. Either there’s one random admin who’s keeping an eye out here, or they’re just tracking accounts and banning any new subs made by users of the banned ones.

Hahaha holy shit how did it get banned so fast
