For some reason I'm glad I don't know who cowbee is. Sometimes outside looking in is the best position to find yourself in.

Assuming maybe wrongfully that they are a man, (i'm uncomfortable with the use of they/them to designate a singular person, english isn't my first language), yeah, I'm seriously impressed by his patience and kindness.

I felt so ashamed to give small answers to him that one time he corrected me with a very understandable and precise paragraph, that I actually became motivated to read a bit of theory.

That's what i call a good influencer.

Cowbee is responsible for exterminating, at minimum, ten million White cishet capitalist men, and even that estimate might be too low.

I have no idea who this is or what this is about. I'm sorry for being out of the loop, cowbee.

Cowbee is a user who makes a lot of comments in discussion and debate threads about socialism and communism. IMO he's extremely patient and gives very detailed explanations/arguments. Some people disagree with him (which is OK, of course), but some of those people are IMO rude and/or dishonest about it. This form is a joke about that.

Cowbee might say that great man theory isn't real, but I think they're a real great person

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 51 points 1 day ago (2 children)

cowbee is one of the most patient posters I've seen

Sometimes so much that I want to ask him this.

Nintendo character Daisy saying "Are you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go ape shitt." to the Nintendo character Peach.

Patience is important to sway people

The others that are too far gone aren't worth trying to convince, but providing good sources is still useful for all the lurkers in the margins

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 day ago

You too, wish I could have your attitude when the fash get mad at you

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 day ago

Cowbee has answered so many of my questions and been very patient.

We all deserve to do him a favour and read his ml reading list

[–] BiteSizedZeitGeist@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think ML isn't for me but @Cowbee has been super patient in answering my questions and I'd love to consider them a friend

I have him tagged as "Tankie", probably undeserved XD

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Considering "tankie" in practice is just a pejorative for those that "support existing socialist projects," then I suppose it's accurate, though I would suggest not marking down "tankies" and instead trying to listen more to what we have to say.
