Did they get rid of Shapiro & Peterson et al?

Absolutely. I am not the person you replied to but I have no problems admitting that China or Russia can be better than the West in some aspects, for example what you said. Likewise I have no problems saying that the West is flawed and that capitalism is killing people while billionaires rent Venice for a wedding party, in fact, I am the first opponent of that.
What I can't stand is people claiming that North Korea is not a dictatorship, China is democratic and Russia, poor them, was forced into invading other countries.

I signed on .ml because that was the second most popular instance at that time; there are so many people in .ml enamoured with USSR, whitewashing it, that I tend to skip local posts because it's not worth it. They behave like people brainwashed by USA propaganda but with different polarization.
Sometimes I think they might be CIA shills/bots created to discourage people from socialist movements.
Btw - China does have local elections where people pick their local representative. So people can pick a person, but not the ideology - that is mandated from the high. It's not exactly what I would call democratic, but hey, the more you know

just because the words "what about..." are used, doesn't make an argument a whataboutism.
a whataboutism deflects from an argument or aims to derail an argument.
what the previous user did was ask for further argumentation about a directly related topic; it's a continuation, not a deflection.
so it's not fallacious, buta legitimate question:
you've banned some propaganda channels (argument is closed at this point), will you now also ban other, similar channels (new, related argument)?
since the previous argument has concluded, because yt has already enforced their views, wether right or wrong, the follow-up question is perfectly legitimate.

Russia intelligence services have been producing conspiracy theory propaganda from even before the Communist era. Adolf Hitler was radicalized in 1909 to hate Jews by "The protocols of the Elders of Zion". That's right, he killed 6 million Jews because he bought into Russian bullshit.

Jews are running the world, eh?
None of the Zionists I know irl are Jewish actually

I don't remember it being bad before lemmygrad got defederated from most instances. Plain ml used to just be the demonstration instance while lemmygrad was the ideological one. But once they got blocked from a lot of the Lemmyverse more and more .ml accounts are being associated with weird tankie stuff.

And there are plenty of jewish anti zionists, especially outside of Israel

State sponsored terrorism vs poor women trying to make some extra money... What the fuck is wrong with you.

Which jews do you mean? Are jewish people a monolith? Do they all agree on the fate of palestinian children?
The poster you are responding to specifically said zionist. You brought all jews into the conversation.
In Israel (outside the numbers may differ) about 80% support the war and genocide.

I'm mostly on board with this, but censorship is a dangerous road to go down. Where does it stop?

Oh would you look at who finally grew a fucking spine.
Doubt it. Trump reversed course on Putin and China, so the bootlickers in charge lick the other way now.

All of those state sponsored channels have other distribution methods available. They're simply not getting access to youtube's megaphone now

I know that the war has high support in Israel, but even 80% is still not all Israelis, let alone all jewish people. I think a lot of Israeli people have dual citizenship. Personally, I wouldn't want to live in a country that is committing a genocide - I would leave. At least some people who choose to live in Israel are ok with illegal settlements, bombing children, etc. They self-selected and that is why they are there - some even left the countries where they were born to become settlers. Jewish people are not all the same.
75M Americans voted for a fascist piece of shit in their last election. Would it be weird if I held a grudge against white Christians in Norway because of that fact?

It stops when they've removed all videos that are anti-USA

1st. Only some Christian denominations are fanatically pro Trump.
2nd. They are faithful, of many ethnicities. Jews are an ethnoreligious group, and in fact, while most faiths welcome converts, Judaism makes you jump through loops. Jews don't like to welcome the non ethnically pure. This if you look at the many branches, especially the Yiddish, with their predominance of fair skin, light eyes, blonde or redhead, is very ironic, as the amount of Yiddish women who have jumped beds through history to turn Levantine populations into almost nordic, is staggering, and thus highly hypocritical. -

Yes only the US should get access to that
