You know, it’s kind of ironic that people like them are exactly why the Fediverse exist, in more ways than one.

I just went and blocked the lemmy.ml instance from my feed. Thanks for the heads up!

No money for tankie devs!

Tankies gonna tank. I was banned for impure thoughts. I cared more about being banned from r/soapmaking. I may just block the entirety of Tankiestan since they are so anti-free speech (unless it’s hate speech which is A-OK!)

Out of curiosity, I just checked that cesspool that calls itself a Lemmy server after 1000 years of not giving a fuck (I mean, I likely checked it seldomly lately as well, but not as thoroughly as going through multiple pages and posts). Here’s what I found:

• Typical commie propaganda (I’m not going to go into details)
• So much US-centrism. Of course, there was some user from Poland (some will know who am I talking about) that admitted somewhere that in Poland there are multiple parties, but, just like for any serious tankie, those parties cannot be anything else than fascist. So no other party than the all mighty “single pluralistic” Communist Party (whatever that shit even means) like there somehow is in China is good. All of them are fascist.
• Being from the US, you’d think they treat the current situation in their country in a mature way, pointing out the actual fascist from the White House - while this happens in, like, a bunch of their posts, mostly, if you think this way, you’re DEAD WRONG. They spend most of their energy pointing out how bLuE aNd ReD aRe ThE sAmE and how oBaMa aLsO dId X sHiT tHaT tRuMp DiD aNd YoU tHe LiBs WeRe OkAy WiTh ThAt (oh, and not to mention the meme about how the No Kings protests are actually a CIA psyop or some shit. Yeah, if you go out and protest for a cause is not because you’re fed up with all that shit you see in your daily life, it’s because the intelligence told you so).
• When they actually do speak about what’s going on, they point out how imperialistic the US of A is and always was. Somehow, China and Russia were never imperialistic. But USA is the alpha and omega of imperialism (okay, they probably also bring up the former imperialistic powers of UK and/or France in other threads, but I didn’t check them, and it’s late here - let’s just assume there is something about this as tankie propaganda also likes to bring this up). Yeah, what happens now with the US is borderline imperialism (threatening Canada and Greenland and Panama with invasion). But stretching it so far and thin like they do is just crazy.
• They laugh at you when you bring them sources to support your claim - reputable sources. But all they bring to support their own claims are recycling memes that they thought they’re funny a few days ago - and somehow Dessalines points you to his blog/website/whatever - not even trying to bring up their own propaganda mouthpieces into discussion. Yeah, bro, I’ll trust you (I’ll probably even make a meme about it these days if I care enough about it).
• Their entire meme community is tankie propaganda. I tried being sympathetic to them and tried to view the memes from their own perspective, but I couldn’t bring more than a smug on my face. Oh well, maybe these crack them up. Good for them, I guess.

In conclusion: it’s fucking late. I spent some precious time doing nothing and learning nothing from their bullshit (and also typing this entire thing). I would like Dessalines to point me out on his website thingy how can I get my wasted time back. Thank you.

Dunno if any of you checked that post. Rhetoric might be debatable but looking at OP, hes a fucking russian appologist bot that always posts against west. That literally all that user does. Ban deserved imo.

Remember that time that a democratic government went full on fascist and bankrupt the US?

I meeeeeeeeean… can we honestly say “No” anymore?

Crazy to just ban someone that don’t agree, this place looks more and more like Reddit every passing second. Sadly, like reddit, lemmy will not fold as it already have the momentum build with the exodus from reddit, but i sure hope they return to the state of asking for scrap.

Sweet… now make the same meme but with the lever labeled “capitalism” / “communism” instead

Edit: I tried to go and do it, but (a) I’m pretty sure I am still banned anyway (b) the quality of memes in !memes@lemmy.ml made me lose my will to live before I got there. This is honestly like “right-wing humor,” in the US except for some reason there seems to be a population of people who are eating it up and eager for more and to make more of it themselves. I am honestly confused about who the fuck these people are and what’s wrong with them…

Lol I remember that post. I’m so tired of that argument; I don’t remember if I voted on it but I do remember rolling my eyes and moving on without even checking the comments like yours.
