A place where you can rant to your heart's content.

Rules :
  1. Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
  2. Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
  3. Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

Edit: there's also this thread: https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693

Oh wow! I always wondered if my comments actually get people to check out the pages and books I link, I've tried to focus more on explaining things in my own words unless a book or article is extremely relevant and quotes necessary (people sometimes saw my older style of quoting Marx, Lenin, Engels, etc as book worship, which is fair critique IMO).

That's actually really interesting!

Yea, we'll see in the future. Right now it was just bots, so I assume the post got federated to these websites and then they went out to get title, description, and opengraph stuff to show.

Ah, gotcha, that makes sense. Federation is interesting.

It's funny that people are downvoting your completely unrelated non-political comments as well.

It happens, lol. Karma doesn't really get tracked on Lemmy so it doesn't even really matter much, but some people get personal grudges if you dare speak positively about communism.

Same with China, say anything positive and there are fully propagandized moron freaks who will follow you around
