That's the entire point of why tankies like me bring up such topics. When Europeans insist in the "superiority and democratic rule" of Europe vs. say China, it's because we remain oblivious to the sins of our own countries while we're constantly bombarded with propaganda against socialist projects. You can get started with the Wikipedia article on Occitan Language if you're interested.
Thats the entire point. There is immense propaganda about China while we literally don't know what happens in the neighboring country. If there were an equal amount of contributions in .world about repression of Occitan as there is about China, I would make it less of a point to bring it up constantly. It's not deviating, it's not letting anti-China discourse dominate in the platform
No, that's whataboutism.
When we're talking about China, I don't need info on the horrors America has inflicted on the world. Just like when I talk about America's past, I don't compare it to Canadian history
Advocate for good things and against bad things. Don't interrupt people already doing that
"Allow western anticommunist propaganda to become the only political content in a political forum and to be severely overrepresented vs. the actual damage done by the west, or else you're a whataboutism"
No, you fucking organize. Do you think a platform comes for free?
You have to work for it. If you actually cared for the cause, and weren't bullshitting, you'd put in the work
