      This is the type of comment written by people that talk about .ml but never actually go to .ml

      Plenty of uncensored criticism of both China and Russia. Just don’t scream at everyone that they are a tankie.

        Lmao. I have been to .ml plenty. I have gotten banned for simply mentioning the time Russia shot down a civilian airliner. Twice!

        I guess it's racist to criticize the unelected government of china now.

        Context: rule 1 is about xenophobia/racism.

        Yep. Plenty of china criticism allowed in .ml

          Thanks for linking this, this is indeed more censorship than I have seen from other users and this does adjust my opinion of their censorship. Most of your comment is not entirely accurate (and weird as infrastructure is what the public uses) but this line does stand out

          They should not have their entire population as slaves

          Anyway I don’t think that deserves a ban. Thanks for the heads up.

            Yeah that’s not accurate. They have plenty of oligarchs. Only most of their population is enslaved.

              One could argue Americans are also slaves. Spam lists like this one. Japan is another Asian society with extreme workloads but they don’t get these comments.

              The standard of living has massive increased in China over the last 50 years. Their population has been worked to the bone, but it didn’t just lead to nothing. We deem China to be almost a first world country. Often slightly worse but on the upper end of the second world. The rail infrastructure part is an example of what it did achieve which is why it’s weird to “China bad” on that specific post.

              Nonetheless I’d rather have seen a discussion than the mods just banning you.
