I’ve seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What’s happening?

    I mean, if they all want to move to Russia or North Korea or China, go right ahead, I am not stopping anyone from chasing their bliss. Perhaps I should note that they will end up as fodder for a warlord’s lust for conquest, but at the end of the day that is not my call to make as to what to do with your lives.

    But damnit I would like to have some tint amount of control about what to do with my own! Including the ability to block them, if I happen to want that. I almost left Lemmy over precisely this issue, preferring instead to simply read books offline than to have to wade through endless immature eternity of September crap. Fortunately, that’s exactly when PieFed started coming up, offering an alternative besides Mbin, and which now offers a heck of a lot more features than either of them.

          I’m an anarchist, these days ‘tankie’ is just an epithet used by campist liberals towards ‘disloyal’ communists and anarchists at home.

          There’s a twisted irony that the so-called’tankies’ are the ones most opposed to america sending in the tanks

            No…no it’s not. You tankies are called that because you eat propaganda from authoritarian regimes in the name of communism. You’re just maga with a hammer and sickle logo

              Literally a straw person you’ve made up and are attacking.

              you eat propaganda from authoritarian regimes

              I evaluate all propaganda critically, be it from the authoritarian regime i live in (the US), or some other one

              Tbh the closest thing to behaving like MAGA is you, more of a blue MAGA

                https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/23064271/13346496

                Lol no you do not. You drink the propaganda. Stop acting like you’re not a tankie. You shill for Putin and russia and china… there’s a thread where you got banned for blaming Ukraine for being invaded lol

                You just don’t like being called a tankie, so you jumped to the anarchist label… kinda like maga chodes do with libertarian…

                Calling me blue maga is hilarious though, another tankie term, which is more bullshit. Trolls like you helped get the turnip regime installed, and more of Palestine destroyed.

                  That link doesn’t work for me.

                  You just don’t like being called a tankie, so you jumped to the anarchist label… kinda like maga chodes do with libertarian…

                  Sweaty I’ve been an anarchist for decades at this point, I’m an anarchist because that’s my values and that’s how I organize IRL. Just because some turbo-liberals and crypto-fascists online don’t like my opinions doesn’t change that.

                  “Islam knows no peace”, you sound more like the latter:

                  there’s a thread where you got banned for blaming Ukraine for being invaded lol

                  here’s what I said:

                  same with Ukraine and Russia

                  this literally is the position I have, Ukraine defending themselves from an invasion was justifiable, just as their separatists defending themselves from the government attacking them also were justified.

                  Calling it a genocide when Gaza is going on is worthy of ridicule though. plus if anyone’s getting targeted for elimination it’s all the Russian speakers getting kidnapped by recruitment officers to get sent to the front.

                  I stand by that, pughitler didn’t like it though.

                    Lol you simp for russia who invaded Ukraine and you then have the gall to be like “it’s Ukraines fault” and we shouldn’t be worried about it while Gaza is getting destroyed…

                    You’re a tankie, you have no clue what you really stand for because you don’t know how the world works, how humans work. Just like every other tankie.

                    And you bringing up the fact that I said Islam knows no peace is what again? It currently is the most violent religion on the planet, just as tankies are the most brainwashed edgelords who live in western societies all nice and warm behind a keyboard. End of the day, while you think you’ll be in some high level position running your utopia, mass executing people who resist, you’ll be the ones digging holes, because you’re only smart enough to eat the propaganda and push out insane ideas… you’re useless past that to the CCP/russia/NK.

                Diva is a tankie, not an anarchist. They simp for russia and blame Ukraine for getting invaded. They just don’t like being called a tankie anymore so they jumped to the anarchist label…kinda like maga does with libertarian.
