My curiosity is piqued, mind giving a link?
And then https://lemmy.world/post/739546
What a legend.
Marxists supporting Putin and his war
Marxists? Got a link?
Any comment by someone from hexbear.net when Ukraine is brought up.
Never came across that instance. Looks a bit like Marxist toddlers. Still, an example would be appreciated.
I described my dealings with them as being lied someone gave an eight year old E numbers and a copy of Das Kapital.
Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean
Maybe my E Numbers referance is a bit outdated. There used to be certain colours in foods that people avoided because they sent kids hyperactive. Dealing with Hexbear feels like dealing with kids hopped up on something similar who also have access to Marxist literature.
I went into one of their threads and basically asked them about their beliefs because I was curious. They are self-identified communists/ socialists. They are against NATO and basically any individual country having “too much” power (even their own country). They are against the US and NATO giving aid to Ukraine and believe the rest of the world should allow Russia to steamroll over Ukraine. I disagree with their beliefs but I was curious so I asked them, so there you go.
Tankies are like cockroaches

Leftists claiming Stalin was right wing.
I’d take them over the ones that think Stalin was a good guy any day tbh
Leftists who think, if I don’t subscribe to their narrow, personal definition of leftism, I must be an epistemically evil conservative maniac with no middle ground whatsoever.
what I hate is that when I say I’m not affiliated with a political party - people try to assume I must be a fucking centrist and therefor secretly conservative.
Those people have some kind of mental deficiency that prevents them from thinking outside of what they already know. It’s sad really. It’s like their brain can’t comprehend anything outside of what they were told to think.
It’s an oversimplified anarchist talking point against authoritarianism and the state. It’s noting the similarities between conservative talking points and auth-left socialist rhetoric. Basically, almost everything you criticize about capitalism can be applied to the state. And defenses for the state from auth-left socialists sounds an awful lot like right wing talking points in defense of capitalism/imperialism/insertotherismhere. Not to mention, the USSR was pretty socially conservative and that’s a big mark against them imo. Liberatory politics should liberate people, after all
I can sort of see where they’re coming from, if they’re equating authoritarianism to conservatism and libertarianism to liberalism. But in reality, Stalin was a left wing authoritarian.
If we look at the rhetoric, the soviet state was certainly left wing, but the main policy was state capitalism. To my mind, state capitalism is not a right wing (favors private control of industry) nor a left wing (favors worker control of industry) policy.
This is definitely a case where pure left/right dichotomy doesn’t serve to accurately describe the situation on the ground.
What was left wing about stalin?
The rhetoric.
Makes me wonder why we even still have wings. Nobody can seem to define them adequately.
Horseshoe theory.
TIL this is actually a thing and I’m not just an idiot speaking out of my ass (this time).
Cue the people downvoting horseshoe theory for no good reason
The fact that it’s stupid is a perfectly good reason to downvote it.
Yes, that is a very good reason to downvote your comment.
It’s better than the alternative, though it does leave me with a second question. If the far left and the far right resemble each other, can they be hybridized to make a kind of antichthon version of the center?
Far Right + Far Left = Far Side?
Gary Larson is political extremist confirmed
I wanna know what we call the opposite of the left and right that are merging. Those two groups are now one - what’s the group that goes up against them both?
They probably mistook right wing for auth
The other day, I saw an A-list Hollywood actress going around Lemmy shitposting and promoting her latest movie on Lemmy.
She’s obviously very talented and very hot and deserves to finally get an Oscar this year, but I would say it’s pretty bizzare.
Also she’s now the top mod of !android@lemmy.world for some reason.
You know, come to think of it, how do we know you’re the real Spider-man and not some imposter?
Wait is this some sort of joke I’m not privy to? That’s not actually Margot Robbie right? I can never tell what’s real on the internet nowadays.
Of course I am, why would Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie go on the Internet to lie to you? Because she thinks messing with a bunch of tech people on a niche forum is hilarious?
That would be pretty bizarre.
I don’t know what’s more weird. Margot Robbie being on lemmy, or that Margot Robbie is a fan of android devices over iOS devices.
Hey, I have preferences too, but people can like what they like, my preferences for phones is no more or less valid than anyone else’s.
blonde bimbos usually prefer iphones though.
Self referencing meme accounts were something I hoped we’d be leaving behind on Reddit.
Tell that to my publicists, please.
They’ll throw a fit if they find out about this.
As a gay guy, Margot is pretty hot, but she’s no Robert De Niro.
Ahem. That’s Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you.
It’s because of De Niro’s 2 Oscars, right? 😭
As a straight guy, Margot Robbie is what I think of when I need my dick to unwind
is there proof that’s her??
Maybe I can buy a blue checkmark or something here.
Well I have seen people use emojis in there user name, so you should technically be capable of getting a blue checkmark.
I know, but that’s a green checkmark…
Also, don’t you think it’s bizarre to pay 8 dollars a month just for an emoji on a microblog website?
I fully do, and think that if you can just pay for it, it defeats the purpose of it.
Also in your case. I mostly thought if it is possible to display a emoji there might be some way to get a costume emoji to display, or if there already existed a blue checkmark emoji or similar symbol.
I am really not up to date with the emojis, or how character displaying on websites work.
I’m really hoping you can lmao
Considering the profile pic is ai generated, I highly doubt it
And that’s exactly the point of using a blatantly AI generated profile picture.
No one ever suspects anything. 😉
lol I suspected a lot about you as soon as I saw the username.
A dude asking how to remove a cock ring on the lemmy.world support page
So did he ever get it off
Post was removed before we knew.
I mean, I’m guessing he got it off before he realised it was stuck.
Beans. Lots and lots of beans.
Care to elaborate?
It was a meme that started not long after the Reddit migration.
Very very boring imho but some people clearly loved it.

This reply you’re reading right now being downvoted to oblivion using a supposedly unwanted karma system.
Kids need karma to post or comment I guess. It’s gamification of social media.
I would have had points for each comments in a post, so it’s possible to order based on that, but absolutely no karma tied to accounts.
It’s still based on the karma system though, enough that many dub it one.
