Denying? That’s outright praise.
All that organ harvesting torture and sexual assault of prisoners and human rights violations… uhm hmhm um ashtually you see it was all just a very successful deradiclisation campaign m’lady
Recently had someone argue Palestine isn’t genocide because the Arab population in Israel is going up.
Any obsession with birth rates is a red flag for brain worms, as surely as talking about skull shape.

Apologies for the ping but I’m banned from lemmy.ml – I don’t use alt accounts to manipulate votes, that’d be mighty hypocritical of me. I actually very rarely downvote comments I respond to.
All my accounts are always just goat, sometimes I have numbers. At the moment my accounts are this one and @goat@reddthat.com
If you have evidence of someone brigading, do let me know, and I’ll punish them accordingly.
This shit is so embarrassing
Lemmy is a poisoned seed. Besides the questionable lead developers, you have the most popular lemmy instances enforcing rules arbitrarily while lying about it and removing entries from the modlog arbitrarily making them all but useless. At least it will be a good exercise in determining how well its federated nature allows it to survive.
Given how often it has happened, I’d say it’s the fate of these sort of migrations from other major social networks to be spearhead by lying opportunists and people trying to hide their flaws through abuse of power. Unfortunately, social networks are far removed from the time when the people doing the spearheading where acting as good faith developers exploring what was possible - they’d probably be among the first to get gaslit and DDOSed.
Lmao, poland mentioned
Idk why, but tankies are obsessed with Poland XD
It’s because Poland was a victim of soviet imperialism and managed to maintain their identity and survive. because of that tankies loathe them
This comment is pretty old. Do we really want to demonize anything anyone has said? I’ve probably said some ideological embarrassing things in the past.
Unless he’s still pushing these talking points, I really don’t see the point
I considered that and removed the other threads. Though I think this one should be an exception (even if it’s from reddit), mostly because it’s almost a copypaste of Dessaline’s github–Hell this comment may have been where that part of the github originated.
For those unaware, Dessaline has quite the extensive github of tankie ideology and talking points, I’ve read through most of it and it’s pretty fucking shit. Some of the “sources” are literally just random tweets. It’s very akin to those anti-vax gish gallop diarrhoea spiels where they think memes are sources.
2y is really not that old and they have had a track record with those comments starting from over on reddit which resulted in a ban and them developing this website. The plans for this site came from being so out spoken about it. Your point would be valid if they hadn’t said anything and showed to be actively correcting themselves for those last two years.
This comment is pretty old.
It’s from 2021, it’s post pandemic for god’s sake it’s hardly ancient history.
I’ve probably said some ideological embarrassing things in the past.
Yeah but no one cares about the things you say because you’re not a major software developer. If you were it would also be perfectly acceptable to have a go at you about some of your less desirable talking points.
Unless he’s still pushing these talking points
Yeah but he is isn’t he? That’s the point he hasn’t got any better he’s still out there doing it.
You don’t have to like the artist?
except they make decisions that affect the entirety of lemmy, such as introducing Hexbear into the fediverse
And yet they never seem to want to move to china or russia.
You know nothing about us
then hurry up lol
they always larp about how much they want to move to these countries, but never do, and they’re well within their finances to do so. But then they can’t be progressive lol
I know of at least one Hexbear who has moved to China.
Allow me to make an analogy: Millions of left-liberals in the United States hold up Canada as a model country that they would like to live in, yet comparatively few (perhaps 1 in 1000) ever make the move.
Does that prove that those liberals are insincere in their admiration, that they secretly consider Canada to be a “shithole” country and only pretend otherwise for the sake of political posturing? No! It’s because permanently immigrating to any country is extremely difficult at best, and frequently impossible.
Countries do not just give out citizenship to people who ask politely. It usually requires some kind of employer sponsorship. Think of the millions of people who literally live in the United States right now and want citizenship but can’t get it.
Now take all of those difficulties involved in a move across the border to Canada and multiply them by at least two, and you have some idea of the practical barriers to moving to a place like China, a country much farther away with a much different language which gives out fewer employer sponsorships.
You can find more answers in our recent discussion of the topic here.
Why are you linking threads that we can’t post on? Are you stupid?
Also, here’s something to put a fold into your otherwise smooth brain. Why is it that liberals are the only political position that routinely gives rights and recognition to minorities, for example, the civil rights movement and recognition of queer identity? The authoritarians that you jizz yourself over have absolutely no incentive to ever recognise such groups, in fact, they routinely oppress them because being a minority is a threat in such shitholes.
Why are you linking threads that we can’t post on?
So you can read and learn
i’d prefer to question
not into blind authoritarianism.
No why would they do that
Bold of you to assume Lemmygrad isn’t already Russian
Nah, lemmygrad is 100 percent American.
Just a coincidence they spontaneously parrot all of Putin’s talking points?
Nah, I’m not saying they’re all Russian, but they’re clearly compromised somewhere. A lot of somewheres.
I totally understand the reasoning behind thinking it’s state actors or certain members being shills–But there’s not much to gain for governments to shill in niche, extremist communities. Why shill your loyal followers when they parrot everything already? Instead, it’s much more effective to use large, mainstream social media websites, like Twitter, Reddit or Facebook, just check out anything politically trending to see the shills and contrast them with these users.
It is true, these small communities do swallow up state propaganda without much thought, but they aren’t shills. Most are just lonely people who hate everything and themselves.
Lmao, poland mentioned
Did your comment post twice or something?
