  • Before deciding whether a reactionary argument worth engaging, we must consider the the audience and the impact. There are many reactionary echo chamber not worth spending energy attacking, because you are not going to sway any opinion. You are a single human, you must pick and choose your battle.

    For the reactionary echo chambers that get out of control and can pose a serious threat, consider employing coordinate efforts, even technological methods. Although, if these efforts are backed by state actors, then small people like you and me aren’t going to win.


  • The way I see it. Religions are tools to be used. There is no such thing as a pure religion, the ruling class always co-opt religion to serve their purposes, and imperialist forces always co-opt religions to create conflicts. And when the working class become the ruling class, it will be no different, except that now it would be a tool to serve the common good.

    Religious beliefs are to be inferior to laws, religious institutions are to be managed by socialist institutions. Beliefs, customs, and practices that no longer fit the new context are to be discouraged or even condemned. However, we must not rely on force to do so. The primary means are education and propaganda, consistent and persistent. The Chinese has a saying: 水滴石穿 (Water drips, stone wears away).

    Disclamers:

    1. I have only based my perspective on East Asian culture, which traditionally take it easy with religious stuffs. I do not know how different are the Islam societies.
    2. The socialist government must be trusted by the people (having full legitimacy) in order to implement something like this.






  • If Vietnamese still use Chữ Nôm then every character would also be a syllable.

    But then again, a CJKV character (Hanzi, Kanji, Hangul, Chữ Nôm) is technically a character according to unicode, but it is not a unit of writing. A CJKV character have components and strokes, and the components may have components of their own. OTOH, nobody actually thinks of a latin character as having components (seriously, what are the components of the letter “A”?)






  • I’ve seen some people claimed that they succeeded in overthrowing the government only because the polices and the armies weren’t cooperative. It also appears that the military had taken control of Nepal. I’ve seen many Vietnamese netizens speculated that this is script to give legitimacy to a coup: First, let the protesters and rioters force the government to resign. Then armies move in to replace the protesters and rioters. The result is that the armies took control of the government without being seen as a coup.





  • I see that you’re new here.

    unless there’s a persecution by right-wingers and liberals

    This is an impossibility.

    Lemmygrad is explicitly a Marxist-Leninist instance. Its culture is hostile to right-wing, liberal left-wing, idealistic left, fake left. Liberal voices aren’t valued here.

    The only way for it to be persecuted is to be defederated from other instances (e.g. Lemmy.World), but nobody cares. Defederation only blocks the flow of information between instances, it doesn’t take the instance down.

    Edit: Actually, another way is DDoS.



  • “Being civilized with the people you disagree with” is what liberals expect from a civilized society and from the United States. But reality contradicts their expectation. A civilized society wouldn’t have any gun violence to begin with. They could either double down on their beliefs and “moral principles” or be pragmatic and wake up to the ugly reality.
