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

Looks solid to me

If you had any self-awareness at all you'd have died of embarassment by now

Congrats! We're all so happy for you! Extremely well done!

And as can be seen from the behaviour of all the .ml'ers in this thread, you really should block that instance as well. They are the same people, just using different accounts to spread their hateful fascist stupidity.

Communism isn't fascism, and to conflate the two is a serious miscalculation. Communism/socialism are historically worker-centric systems and ideologies, while fascism is best described as capitalism, only when the bourgeoisie needs to employ violent and extreme measures to protect their ownership of private property. As a consequence, communist-led violence is violence against the minority of society, the oppressor capitalist class, while fascist-led violence is against the majority, the working class, as well as the marginalized in society.

I recommend reading Blackshirts and Reds.

Oh no! Did those scary ideas that conflict with US State Dept propaganda hurt your little bitty ego? Did you not get the pat on the head you expected for your bold, approved by the neoliberal order takes you so graciously bestowed upon Hexbear? Lmfao.

Free thought, or aimlessly contrarian?

You could pretty much swap in flat Earth theory here and it would still make perfect sense.

I could swap in Humorism into there and it still would make perfect sense.

Oh hey! It's the guy who thinks posting videos of Uyghurs is how you dunk on Hexbear, without even knowing what Xinjiang is. Then, without a shred of irony, accuses Hexbear of not critically thinking :o

You might genuinely want to consider how that behaviour is incredibly 'echo chamber'y. Repeating an opinion without knowing the first thing about the actual facts?

No guys, Hexbear TOTALLY doesn't brigade threads, whaaaaat?

I'm shocked that Redditorsstill haven't learnt how Federation works.

Well not that shocked

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (40 children)

I blocked the instance a long while ago. Not because of divergent views, but because I didn't find myself stimulated by their overall culture and communication style. Other than that, live and let live, glad they have a spot to discuss what they want.

It's so funny how defensive and upset ml users are here
