Someone commented that sanctions wouldn’t work on China because sanctions were too harsh, and that the US should treat China as a parent does a child, educating them and encouraging them toward US goals so that sanctions were unnecessary.

I pointed out that China and the US do not remotely have a paternal relationship and a culturally American call to China would not elicit a culturally American response from China because of how different the cultures are.

Got banned for “Orientalism”.

      I mean, Lemmy.ml could see these messages and these topics.

      But much like posting in a random Subreddit, there’s no reason to see why Lemmy.ml admins would ever come this way or ever see this topic. So it kind of feels like you’re complaining to the winds here. Maybe they hear you, maybe they don’t.

      You probably should find a place where those admins have a higher chance of actually hearing your complaint.

        I’m not complaining, and I couldn’t care less if those mods saw this post.

        I’m literally asking if anybody else has been banned for *orientalism".

          Yes, that happens. If you google

          "lemmy" banned for "orientalism"

          you will find other cases like yours.
