Doesn’t look like it.

Reason stated for post removal was that it wasn’t recent. It has nothing to do with the headline. We can additionally make excuses all we want, but the post was valid and now, after publicly complaining, it was restored.

It was an article about how we got into this problem in the first place and therefor how we need to go about fixing it. You can’t fix problems by only listing the media narrative that currently suits them without looking for the context in the bigger picture and dealing with the cause instead of the symptom.

Most of the new articles do exactly the opposite, they get us into making the problem worse by voting for the party that got him elected, the same problematic person they are running against in the first place. Just so they can do what they are doing now and have been doing since then, pretend that they are better alternative, while still supporting him because they need him to scare the voters into voting for them.

Thanks for restoring it. I think it is important for c/politics to allow older articles that are still relevant, since often media only tries to push the narrative it is currently benefiting from. This allows for people to have a bigger picture and see the causes of the problem we are in today and therefor how to change it.

politics isnt a news channel

Worst part is, he wouldn’t be arrested for genocide in 2024. He would probably be seen as lesser of two evils or something stupid like that.

You shouldn’t have political goals when moderating just to support certain politician. That is a conflict of interest and abusing the mod power to further a goal of your political candidate.

CCP is better than the US. You’re implying you’re a TikTok user Not even close. Never used TikTok in my life, I have no reason to believe CCP is any better then US either. I don’t think you should assume that when someone is critisizing one group is automatically support another, this is exactly what everyone in power is using as propaganda to discredit any critique of them.

You sound like more of a troll then me. I give reasonable responses, you just make jokes to insult people.

A classic authoritarian tactic is to make people think that other governments are worse and that only giving away your freedoms and giving power to them is the way to fight it. TikTok became to risky for the government not because of China’s propaganda, but because China didn’t want to ban or deprioritize posts against genocide in Palestine funded by the US government. When any government feels treatened they censor the media and call it propaganda from another country. This is prime example that US is not better then China or Russia when it comes to it, only that so far it was their companies that were more popular, so they didn’t need to.

I am afraid that this fear of Russia is blown a bit over-proportion and is used by the US to gain even more dominance of the World military power. Russia was not really successful in it’s invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine is a lot smaller and closer to Russia then Sweden. Not to mention the geographiclly harder to conquer. At this pace I dont see that Russia can invade Sweden in the next century or more. While joining NATO right now will indirectly mean that Sweden increases it’s military and particapates in NATO involvement in the middle east. It is a bit scary how centralized the power balance of the world has become. US is now involved with almost all wars in the World and is invading coutries like Iraq, Syria, Libya without any justification and no repricussions, just for oil. I am more scared of the US and I think that is reasonable.
