OH MY FUCKING GOD, these fucking people are the ones who complain about "tankie" censorship while simultaneously banning anyone who doesn't adhere to their anticommunist unfalsifiable orthodoxy. They use the same talking points all the time, which we've debunked COUNTLESS TIMES, and REFUSE to listen to any points we make. It's really hard to interact with people when they themselves are the ones who've been poisoned by so much propaganda they automatically refuse any good-faith discussion.

Every time I see an asterisk now my mind fills in "Latest Fad".

I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I've seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship, absolutely 0 effort to try to understand what Dessalines is trying to say, no consistency in terms in general. I'm so glad I only have to see the 1/400 people that come here rather than existing in that space. Literally worse than /r/neoliberal.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 38 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it's like they left reddit because it wasn't reddit enough for them. No idea how anyone can tolerate putting up with them, though those that do, do great work, I've seen a lot more lemmy accounts actually learning stuff thanks to them.

they linked the wikipedia article for Tankie lmao what a closing argument

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 87 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It's a real goofy time over there, haha. A lib tried to Ultra me and tell me Lemmy is Capitalist because posting is Value, and asserted that I haven't read Marx, only being exposed to Lenin via memes.

Deeply unserious people.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 53 points 5 months ago

tell them to make a hexbear account and try to prove their point here

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 40 points 5 months ago

If they try to swing back again I will, but I think they finally realized how cooked they are.

That, or they were trolling the entire time to make me look better, but it's .world so I doubt it lol

[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 46 points 5 months ago

If a website (like Twitter or facebook) make money off ads and our posts bring viewers to ads then yeah us posting creates value in some way for the capitalists who own the websites.

I don't think lemmy has ads though? I never see them if it does.

Wtf was their point anyway? "You claim to hate capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious!" posting? Classic reactionary dipshittery

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 44 points 5 months ago

Lemmy has no ads whatsoever, it's FOSS. Some Lemmy apps do, like Sync.

Their point seemed to be that the devs are actually hypocrites and admins are basically bourgeoisie.

I miss when the slur filter was hard coded so we’d get periodic hitler-detector posts about how the authoritarian tankies are ruining freeze-peach

[-] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 78 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

When this site launched our slur filter even did substitutions. It would replace things like "Israel" with "Occupied Palestine" and "North Korea" with "Democratic People's Republic of Korea." We figured out that had to go as soon as somebody tried posting "Death to Israel."

They learn from who they are worshipping. Exactly how the CCP control the narratives.

With no hint of irony

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 43 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It's always accusations of worshipping, simping, praising and fellating from these people. If someone could explain the sexual pathology at play here, I would be very grateful

But also, state media from the bad country is categorically deceptive.

[-] DengistDonnieDarko@hexbear.net 52 points 5 months ago

God I hope so

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 47 points 5 months ago

The old boogymen of Hexbear and Grad are invisible, so .world will saber rattle from time to time. .ml believes in an interconnected fediverse, so they don't plan on defeding, and .world wants to maintain their image of being impartial.

I imagine eventually the contradiction will be resolved and some inciting incident will leave us with .world defeding and a multipolar Lemmy arising.

I hadn't put it together yet, but I'm realizing that "tankie" is just the liberal version of "woke". Much like conservatives call anyone left of them "woke", liberals call anyone left of them "tankie".

I don’t know why we are expected to spend any amount of time engaging with this infantile garbage. Who let them out of the kiddie pool? Now they are spewing their putrid shit all over the adults’ table. I’m not having a discussion with these entitled manchildren, they have nothing to say that’s worth listening to.

Think of it this way, would you spend hours trying to argue with a toddler who thinks the moon is made of cheese?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
