Honestly I feel like most people on here are just tired of the ultra-capitalistic hell neoliberalism threw us into and want a better system that doesn’t rape dry the Earth and doesn’t allow companies to have the same wealth as entire states. Those people you mention are just a very loud, screaming minority.
I’m part of these people, I think most of them are social democrat and don’t have any illusion about supposedly socialist countries.
Yes, they are a minority since .world became the biggest player, but they are still very visible if you mention those subjects and countries, they are going to pop up.
No, he’s not. He’s talking about supposedly-socialist people in the USA who idealize vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China, and think they would have a better life in these countries.
vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China
The Russian Federation isn’t socialist in any way. China has a Socialist Market Economy, that’s true, but nobody idolizes Russia nor do they believe they would live a better life there.
Yeah, for a website forged almost exclusively from former Redditors and especially ones who got burned by Reddit’s abysmal leadership, I rarely see complaints about Reddit on here – arguably far fewer than on Reddit itself.
He says that because the creators are tankies and so were the first communities built around them like .ml administrated by the creators. Last year’s Redditors migration after the API change moved the political center more towards social democracy and the people center towards .world.
I think those people consider the Lemmy federation to be their playground, and they are being xenophobic about others, but since there is not supposed to be xenophobia in their ideology, they call it colonialism instead.
That’s been a welcome change in the last ~6 months. It was a fire hose blast of people going back and forth on whether a ‘thing’ was brought over from reddit, and whether or not it was welcome.
Oh, just insert whatever you remember from reddit. Replies that are obviously jokes but off topic, mimicking a meme or such; doing the ‘follow the link’ meme (though I only remember that one popping up once or twice); sounding out a sentence one word per reply… I saw all of those get panned or promoted. Some people screamed about leaving such habits at reddit, others thought they were the height of humor.
Lol since you mentioned you got banned i had a look… your comments were fuckin awful! Why world you advertise this? I’m absolutely embarrassed for ya… that you still feel this hurt when you got banned trollin.
I went to some other comms to check their logs and it looks like you get banned everywhere you post, fella.
Haha! nothing effin funnier than reading the hurt feelings of someone who got what they deserved.
If you had read your own sources then you would have posted the article you are quoting from now first. It’s weird that you assume someone will click on every link in your Wikipedia page. A war is not necessarily genocide. I think you have trouble with understanding what genocide is. You are simply grasping at straws. USA is now killing people in Gaza? So anyone who does business with United States is now USAs fault? “Death to America”? You’re calling for death to Americans while at the same time you are crying about genocide. You’re nothing but a clown. Also, you’re from Iowa lmao. Please stop embarrassing yourself.
So for starters saying “a war is not necessarily a genocide” in response to an example of a genocidal act (America’s continued bombing of Japan after it served no valid military purpose) is genocide apologia.
Secondly questioning the USA’s role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza when the genocide is being explicitly carried out with American bombs is also genocide apologia.
Thirdly “Death to America” refers to the American political project, its imperialist ambitions and its global hegemony, not the mass killing of Americans that you seem to think it does, which is why saying “Death to America” is not a call to commit genocide and doesn’t make the person you were arguing with a hypocrite.
Thank you, I’ve been having a lot of depression and feeling pretty worthless, but comments like these remind me that no matter how bad things get at least I’ll never be this much of a loser.
Thank you! Your og ban wasn’t as funny as i’d like but the second “ban evasion” banhammer made my lips curl up some. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
It’s just a huge problem on Lemmy. Right now there isn’t enough content really to justify defederating so it’s like they are the weird family members than you can’t stand but have to somewhat tolerate

No, I will not give up Xitter I need it to follow my niche artists despite them having accounts on multiple other platforms including BlueSky.
No I will not give up Facebook. I need it to poke meemaw and check the marketplace for things I’ll never buy or sell because Craigslist amirite?
At least all you twats use ETA less than they do on reddit. That bugs me way more than it should.
You know you’re also using the internet, right?
Yeah ya see, he’s stuck. how will he spread the light of his superiorioriority unless he comes to speak to the filth?
It was probably a sacrifice but Im so glad he took the time to show us what is possible.
What an inspiration
There’s also the part that is into crushing with a tank people who don’t hate the USA more than anything in the universe.

All those wanna be commies live in the USA too it’s fucking sad

Where would you rather live?

Ah… so let me get this straight. So instead of being poor in a capitalist country, you’d rather be poor in a communist country?
Edit: JFC dude. Why are there so many of these types on Lemmy
Removed by mod
Save your mental health, just block them once they are clearly identified, it’s not worth the effort at all.
Oh the good 'ol whataboutism creeping in.
Really? Are you really genuinely ignorant or you simply can’t fathom that non-US people not only exist but also lead happier lives?
No, he’s not. He’s talking about supposedly-socialist people in the USA who idealize vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China, and think they would have a better life in these countries.

That’s not socialists though. We call them tankies as an umbrella term.

That’s great but doesn’t answer the question
Most of the world’s commies actually live in China, strangely enough.

Linux, reddit bad, socialism and star trek are alright. The bean thing I don’t get. Never am I gonna spend energy learning about it either.
I recall that being a thing on Reddit too for a bit… Just the internet doing its thing. People like random shit - it all gud.
Bagging Reddit is actually kinda discouraged, more Linux and communism. Or at least screeching about capitalism at every opportunity.

The socialists are the native inhabitants of this land, the Redditors are the ruthless imperialist colonisers.
I’m half-Redditor, half-socialist. I hope I’m still welcome among those with a pure socialist heritage.

Indeed, but the old tankie instances still exist, same as always. The centrists went elsewhere, to non-tankie instances that were set up for them.
Colonization involves taking somebody else’s land, but this is more like creating more land out of thin air and settling there.
I think those people consider the Lemmy federation to be their playground, and they are being xenophobic about others, but since there is not supposed to be xenophobia in their ideology, they call it colonialism instead.
Or maybe the Redditors are refugees and the lemmy nativists have convinced themselves they are eating their pets.
That’s been a welcome change in the last ~6 months. It was a fire hose blast of people going back and forth on whether a ‘thing’ was brought over from reddit, and whether or not it was welcome.
Do I want to open a can of worms by asking what the ‘thing’ is?

There’s a lot of those jokes that will hopefully die on the platform. They had well and truly run their course even on Reddit.
Also make sure you double check if you browse by all and decide to leave a comment

Why not show my comments then lol
Oh I see you’re a regular poster in USAauthoritarianism. 😂
Glad you enjoy sniffing my taint. Come back anytime.
I definitely will 🤣

Thanks Marx (nice name lol)
Your anecdotes are irrelevant. You could have just posted the context, but you didn’t. Wonder why?
I’m a debate pervert but I’m not that dedicated to the bit. Searching your name in the modlog was all I was willing to do.
Anyway perhaps if you simply stopped apologizing for genocides, you would no longer be accused of genocide apologia? Just a suggestion.
I’ve been banned from hexbear and .ml so not really a loss.
As I said, you guys were celebrating the murder of the Israeli hostages so I shared a few words with you and your ilk. Disgusting creatures really.
Ah, I see it now.
You see what?
Thank you, I’ve been having a lot of depression and feeling pretty worthless, but comments like these remind me that no matter how bad things get at least I’ll never be this much of a loser.
Feel better brother
what did you do??
this dude started saying something about “time to take your medicine” to an OP then started smoking crack right there in the thread.
I got banned for genocide denial when I called Ukrainian a genocide. ML tankies are a special breed of stupid.
Thank you! Your og ban wasn’t as funny as i’d like but the second “ban evasion” banhammer made my lips curl up some. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

I’ve unfortunately noticed that too. We’re both getting downvoted so they are constantly lurking in the shadows like little rodents

You forgot the 100 comment posts on anything mozilla does
I mean in one way. Yes, you’re fitting in and in another way - Stop talking about Reddit
Say Windows bad as well. We’re not allowed to use Windows for some reason… I use it, and I’m not sorry, but I really don’t care about internet doots.
Dear windows users
Not enough blaming capitalism for problems which have nothing to do with capitalism.
