That was a good joke. Even without the KKK that joke should have been recognizable.

How can the desperation be resolved so that people on Lemmy don't assume the worst and comments can stay on topic?

I don't think it's desperation but closeted tankies. They heard the word socialism and their tankie-sense triggers. If there's something I despise as much as a MAGA, that's a tankie. Same shit, different color.

They're simply learning that they must post from outside .ml if they want to be seen.

I mean, look at them. They are attacking me for "offending" socialism when I never said the word without "National" before it. They just saw socialism and, as good tankies, they went berserker.

The other option might be even worse: they are dumb as a rock and never read a history book. Not unlikely either.

.ml pride themselves in reading theory. It's easy to disagree with them on a topic but they wouldn't make such a mistake.

I think it's the stress of the US environment. The government is blurring the lines of what is unthinkable. This 'all of yours' podium is real and people are rightfully in panic mode. Question is, how to snap out of it to have useful discussions?
