    Try saying that China is better than the USA in a .world political com and prepare to be proven wrong (and probably banned)

      The meme is making fun of US police specifically, and you’re going to get wild agreement on that. No one in Lemmy thinks our cops are good.

      Now, if someone else brings up some historical event and one starts going on about how it’s a “western” hoax or getting into whataboutism, yeah, that will get you banned. And I have no intention of arguing there, it’s just an irreconcilable difference between .ml and most other instances.

        No, you will absolutely get banned for saying China is better than America.

        I got banned for reporting a Gaza genocide denier there, by the way, the mod told me that they make an exception to the rule against genocide denial for Gaza genocide deniers, and that reporting them was considered uncivil and thus ban worthy.

        I was banned from a different .world political com for saying Kamala Harris supported Israel, apparently that was “misinformation”
