Because I want to commit crimes, doing it outside is risky.

This post is on lemmy.ml, an instance whose owner decided to continue federating with lemmygrad.ml for... reasons. Go visit lemmygrad.ml and you'll understand why.

What do you mean they're over? I've invested billions of dollars in them. I've even given up on owning a house just so I can become the next sucessful billionaire investor. Away with your nonsense. Y'all just isn't as smart as me. 🤓

In Russia, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, Russian leader need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Russian leader die. Russian government very mad. I hide in transport convoy, come to Ukraine. No speak Ukrainian, no food, no money. Zelenskyy give me job. Now I have house, Ukrainian car, and new woman. Zelenskyy save life. My big secret: I kill Russian leader on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!

Edit: Sorry, I know the war is serious, but a little humor doesn't hurt, right? 😉

Found the hacker that defaced lemmy.world

If your comment (the top-level one) was supposed to be sarcasm, you need a /s tag because there are people actually being serious saying that "it's a conspiracy, couldn't be any other possible explanation" stuff.

But also, the "hostage" thing is not entirely false, just very exaggerated. They only take your family "hostage" if you are like a leader of a protest or something. But I doubt they care if you are just some forum user that has no followers and "protesting" online. They got too many dissidents within their jurisdiction to care about those abroad.

I can see the message, how do I get out? Do I jump off a building? Please give instructions.

Edit: HELP MY TOTEM IS SPINNING FOREVER. WTF IS GOING ON? GET ME OUT OF THIS DREAM!

Well I, as a former citizen of China, do "speak out" against CCP as in family discussions, in online forums, and sometimes with classmates in school, but I don't "speak out" as in actually participate in protests. Demonstrations just isn't my thing. Protesting against CCP gets you labeled a "race traitor". I mean honestly, with all the racial problems in the US, and having to deal with my abusive family, I really don't have to energy care about CCP anymore. It's dead to me. I view China just like how an anti-fascist German view Nazi Germany. There's no point of protests. It's beyond anything a protest can fix. Like... why do I even care, it isn't even my country anymore.

Edit: Also, it isn't a conspiracy that ethnic Chinese (I'm gonna use the term "ethnic Chinese" because this applies regardless of citizenship status) people don't "speak out". People just value "Social Harmony" more than being correct. Like if you live abroad, why care about what happens back in China? Most ethnic Chinese people who lives abroad don't really feel welcome in their new country, so why be against your former country if you aren't even sure if you are actually safe in your new one? You don't end up in a situation where you have no safe harbor in the world. Ethnic Chinese people living abroad believe China will accept them again in-case their living situation abroad goes south, so they don't want to get on the bad side of the Chinese government. Like what happened with the Chinese Exclusion act in the US more than 100 years ago, and also the Japanese Internment Camps. Maybe you disagree with the thought process, but that is what most ethnic Chinese people think.

Honestly, our attention span is so fucked, most of us only read headlines.

Source: Me, I read headlines most of the time. Too depressed to read a full article.

How would that work if they have a toxic family and decided to kill 2 birds with one stone?

I mean if the CCP threatened my family while I'm abroad, I'd just go: "Lol go ahead, idgaf. They're toxic anyways. Thanks for getting rid of them for me." 😎

But too bad my toxic family is already here and I had to endure their abuse. 😥

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It will keep happening, but in the Fediverse, it will be moving to other instances instead. The fediverse will be a bunch of defederation/federation wars.
