Consider posting what you did.

The numbers will sink in the next 20 years for pretty much all “developed” OECD countries. Including the US, UK, France, Germany… yet how often do you personally write about that problem? When even people like professor Reich of Berkeley mention the 40(?) trillion $ wealth transfer due to shrinking population and that mostly to a small group of population with reduced demand for housing you seem to focus a lot on a country you are not living in.

Do I think China faces challenges? Surely. Do I think the capitalist market oriented parts of it will lead to problems that are integral to capitalist market systems? Sure. The CPC has much more power to act on it though. China is currently able to house its population much better than 30 years ago after the crisis of the fall of the Soviet Union. Germany’s capital is missing 600k affordable flats at the same time.

Lets see how things will play out, but similar articles were published every couple of months for the last 20 something years. That generates sentiment.

You are correct, the “ghost city” claim is about a decade old and in the time since then good functioning cities developed incorporating those infrastructure and urban resources built previously.

Zhujiang New Town for example can house up to two million people (often moving out from the 7-10 million living in the old areas) and while I dislike the urban planing of it, it was once among the foremost called “ghost city” in propaganda, yet it is larger than most cities in most states of the US as example.

I also agree that having too many flats seems to not be that bad a problem to have. Especially when 2‰ of the US are unhoused - even though there are millions of empty flats.

Touch grass, you project stronger than the Leica Cine 1. If the admins would do your job your comment would be deleted already. Click my link, does that look like there are often news about crisis that don’t come to fruition? Sure does. Do you disagree with the book you can receive from Springer Link?

While property dealings can have effects (look at my link at see at 2008/9 how impactful the financial crisis from the US was even for China), the article doesn’t manage to break beyond the general sentiment. Articles like that are often followed by high noise low signal comments which mirror sentiment of the user base, in this case mostly US dwellers that are underemployed. So a bit Sinophobia is expected, likely with topics related to property, so “Ghost cities”, “expropriations”, “shady construction” while using standards the people don’t actually hold up in regards to their own countries.

Seems China is always in Crisis according to Western news. The consequences seem to not be there though.

Instead wages increased threefold within ten years. It is funny that the Isle of Man got the most searches for “china crisis”, I would guess cause it is a tax haven and therefore sensitive to such “news”?

Without joking, China did manage to succeed through ten crisis and you can read Wen Tiejun’s book about it

Thanks for your comment. However that it sits in the high negative numbers (with 3 times the downvotes) shows that this instance is actually a problem. It is quite actively destroying principles of decentralized federated networks. Some very online super posters seem to participate in that.

Again it would be interesting to see who was it that downvoted your post.

The Feds had people on 100 user big BBSes.
If you followed the studies about so called “extremism” (which often ignores the extremism of the center) then lemmy played a role in that, so it is more unlikely than likely that Feds wouldn’t be on several lemmy servers.

At the current place in time 15 people thought it was a good idea to downvote that post. That is also showing quite an obvious anti-left potential anti-liberal and US centric bias, which others for example BIPoCs would not share. Or whistleblowers.

The admins have access to that information btw. who upvotes and downvotes what. This means that closer connection to the FBI also makes it more easy for them to access the 100k+ users preferences, political leanings etc. as well as private messages. Other agencies wouldn’t even need to be involved with warrants to get that data, since the servers are harboring enough international communication that you ought to act as if intelligence agencies might have access to what you write, post and how you vote.

Decentralized lemmy verse are definitely something to aim for. It is essential for the concepts and ensures diverse communities which aren’t dominated by admin ideas and regional bias.

and those troll-websites (and culture) is well known to retaliate in the form of DDOS attacks.

Which ones? Cause it seems you are kinda inventing a new reality unless you mean 4chan or alike (which do not have lemmy instances though right wing exploding heads would be close).

The good old: “Actually people supporting trans are doing the right a service!”

Pity that hexbear is a bastion of trans posters, which means you are effectively saying: “Trans people are (used by) right wing people as ammunition!” which is right, but right wingers do weaponize everything. There is no way to behave nice enough to complacence them.

I have yet to find a post in your profile in which you do write public support for our trans comrades 🏳️‍⚧️. I doubt you will, but even if you do it it will remain performative unless you repeat it online, amplify trans voices and start to support your LGBTQ community in your meat space. However since you have no positive comment in the last month it is clear that you are objectively not supporting trans rights, since your only mention is how a group you disagree with - which itself does support trans rights - is hurting trans folk. to the audience Raise your hands if that does sound transphobe to you.

The X are poison is a very common fascist talking point that is actually a verbatim quote of not only that, but Nazi propaganda.

That isn’t literally what the person said, though. The modlog and profile on hexbear does show that they did also argue to post less about trans support, argued for people showing less support and did not accept when other, trans!, people explained their view and why he ought to chill out at least. So there was a repeated violation of server rules in a short span of time (and fawx did leave the server).

The ban in the mod log is also for 1 day, not eternal (all of us are human and sometimes we are on rolls we wouldn’t continue after a good round of sleep). Don’t trust random people when it aligns with your bias.

@GhostOfHoxha@lemmy.ml did give already a critique on your comment in content.

I don’t talk with unfunny liars.

That is now how any of that works.

post hoc ergo propter hoc

You can be wrong, it doesn’t destroy your self. You don’t have to fear it.

Hexbear was also experiencing traffic which would fit DDoS, do you suggest that dot world did DDoS Hexbear, too?

Who poisoned the well? Its the witches fault!

I’m literally the most left person I personally know by a wide margin

So you don’t count people you know online, you also don’t go to organizing union meetings, are not part of collectives and not part of a real left party (thus are likely an individualist, moralist, idealist liberal who will often - since there is little self critique and reflection - for example having thought how you could integrate parts of being anti racist in your life within a group). Of course you might be called a reactionary in some cases. Feel free to link to them, post those opinions in the un-safe space we got here as quote and people can do reflect on that. Taking your quote (which likely ignores context to present yourself in a better light) I have to say that:

trans people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want" (good) "***********************” (bad)

Yeah that is reactionary. You were rightfully banned as you broke server rules. There were enough campaigns i.e. “Read Trans Liberation!” for you to educate yourself. You didn’t. You are not the victim here.

To break it down: You went into a space of solidarity and then climbed on a chair and yelled “I don’t care about [group you are supposed to be having a minimum degree of solidarity with]”. Everyone is able to understand that this is even if it is your uncle’s birth date and you would yell that you don’t care about your uncle it is a social faux pas. However what you did is much worse.

The website’s slogan at that point even was “We love our trans comrades!”

Besides:

and told to k**l m***lf and then a mod agreed with them

X: [Doubt]

You already showed yourself to be an unreliable narrator, no reason to believe such an extraordinary claim.

Edit Wonder who downvotes this post

Edit2:

CW in effect transphobia commited in a save space, with multiple repeating posts and comments and an unwillingness to see the perspectives of others, this is the context of what OP did post:

I heard things similar to that within the spoiler during the 80s when I did attend gay meetups, protests and LGBTQ* representation in media became slightly more common (while what we did was still criminal in many places). Turns out I wasn’t gay btw. I was bi (and that includes trans people as bi is defined as having attraction to more than one owns gender) and still am, but was, too. However the gay spaces were the spaces which enabled me to be myself and not the eternal cycle of “this is too much progress for the [women/black people/jews/italians/gays/insert minority/marginalized group of your choice]! they would progress more if they would be silent and try to pass as cis white evangelical hetero who eat meat and drink beer in unhappy marriages!”

fawx has the capacity to change and act different, as well as to not slander thousands of users with re-tellings of stuff that didn’t happen like that and which minimizes their actions (which is understandable human, but it remains wrong. I do understand the emotional feeling of giving somebody a wipe as fawx did try to do with depicting hexbear as bad for excluding him for no reason - and the willing audience of people taking that for a fact instead of doing their due dilligence). Still the burden is on fawx to read, speak, listen and not primarily center themselves. If they are actually in the union they have enough ways to grow (attending IWW and other fighting unions organizing meetups and summer schools for example).

Understandable since one is a government funded :fedbposting: psyop running on servers in the basement of the FBI building. The other is Reddit.

Ayyyyyyy.

Was the joke. If you take that as proof that that user and hexbear as aggregate are responsible you might need to breath a bit and do learn to be more critical of media. People making jokes about you(r misfortune) aren’t always out to get you.

To explain the joke:

dot world having a harder time with de federating Fascist propaganda (exploding heads and alike, while keeping their users) than with pre emptively doing a US centric Red scare and McCarthyism is quite funny and something the intelligence agencies of the US had in their hand books for over half a century. It is also often the action of liberals who think civility is more important that positive justice.

However lets say a piece or two about @A_A@lemmy.world, they are close to conspiracy thought sometimes.

Join “Lemmy.world” ; here you can create your own communities 🙂

Respect and thanks to the creators of lemmy-software, pretty sure they have friends (states) with big pockets 😆 !

Yeah, cause FOSS means evil communist governments secretly funding open source software.

They also regularly lie and misconstrue what people say.

All in all the user is a good example how liberal moderation policy (or the lack of them) leads to gray and black propaganda and spheres that are not emancipatory.
