You don't even need to work to find the projection. He just offers it up.
I remember when trolling meant something! It used to be about making people mad, evolving emotion, and getting them embroiled in embarrassing positions they can't take back! Now it's just saying wrong thing and being politely corrected!
As a huge Cassette Beasts fan, agreed. They didn't attempt to imitate the (superior imo) explosive bomb design, with the tail as the fuse and the black fur turning to jagged red to imitate an explosion.
Pomeranians exist. What a twist.
Honestly, knowing the platform was rooted in tankie ideology, it was never going to be good. It just took many of us way too long to see it.
At this point it's how I kill time on the can. That's tbh all it deserves.
I am not.
A meme is, by definition, something that is being copied, spread and reused. In order for this to be an "original meme," it needs to be the origin of a new meme format, which will then be copied and iterated on, usually by re-using the language or re-using the physical format.
You just posted your shitty opinion in speech bubbles and called it a meme, because you don't know what a meme is.
You're not old too old; OP just doesn't know what a meme is.
Canada has in fact deeply fucked up with it's indigenous population, though the specifics of just how deeply the graves left by the residential schools go is something that seems to shift every time I dig into it. There's no debate that the Canadian state killed a lot of indigenous people's though.
However, that doesn't have anything to do with correctly identifying the Russian disminformation machine
Nothing says "free speech" like banning protest.
They've completely lost the plot in what left/right was intended to identify, and instead associate it with "the guys I like are left and the bad guys are right."
They're just just right-wing nationalists arguing for merit-based authoritarianism based off a different set of merits than the the white-christian nationalists of the west. Despite that, they have more in common with them then genuine leftists, who see the rule of any one party as invalid.
Sure, appreciate that. I'm on my way to bed, so I'll have a little fun with it. It's not like anyone else is this deep in this dead thread anyway, so really this is just for me and you. Might as well have a little reflection.
Sometimes I find myself with a bit of free time, and I enjoy telling off Internet bullies and lying fascists. It makes the world a marginally better place, and it's entertaining watching them turn to belittling and infantilizing others in an attempt to make themselves seem strong, knowing that reasonable people see the squirming and know what's going on. It feels good, and makes the world a tiny bit better, so it's a win/win. Besides, I can just put down my phone and go back to my very satisfying life when I am bored of it. It's easy to put it away, so why not make sure that fascists lies are apparent to anyone else who stumbles in, you know?
"no u" isn't the own you seem to think it is, and the lies you love to parade aren't fooling very many people. We've both seen it frequently in the passing months. You like to bring up downvotes in a dead thread with one lurker, but this means you've seen how absolutely blasted you get on the regular when you spew your bullshit. It's nice to know that you've been checking the votes all that time, and you must be well aware by now how little of your propaganda is being consumed. I hope that you're in it for yourself then, at least. I can put down my phone with a smile on my face and not load Lemmy for two weeks because at the end of the day I only pop on here when so want to entertain myself. I can't imagine how much it just hurt to come here looking for some kind of gratification, only to have to put on the Internet though guy schtick and watch downvotes roll in if you actually need that satisfaction for some reason.
I think what I'm trying to say is, I hope whatever happened to leave you playing these games, day in day out, gets better. My experience is that no one turns to these extremist ideologies, and plays mental gymnastics like this, when they're well. So, seriously, I hope things get better. Maybe one day you'll look back and feel a little embarassed, but know you're better now. At least, I'd like to think everyone is capable of that. But who knows? You might genuinely read this and continue to tell yourself that I am some troll who's fuming at the things you post, or whatever nonsense you use to validate yourself. But I can't be more frank here: I've really, truly, been nothing but honest. Not always correct, sure, but never dishonest. I do wonder if you can say the same.
Apparently "nationalism is bad" is an uncivil take. Unless there's another reason someone would ban this comment... 🤔
Just like the far-right of the west, they believe in rule by perceived merit. They just have a different idea of what merit looks like.
Unfortunately, rule by a small privileged class is oligarchy at best, fascism at worst, regardless of what system of merit you use to define who should rule. Not that they'll ever grasp that.
