On Hexbear and .ml seething that Trump isn't going to win.
Fuck Hexbear, Russian trolls, and tankies everywhere.
Be careful, some people from there will bring up one thread where they called Putin a far-right fuckface!
You mean, evidence?
Yeah. Anecdotal evidence. The exception, not the rule.
You know, critical thinking?
If you say that someone thinks / says something, without any evidence, and I bring evidence of the contrary, I think this is far from being anecdotal.
We aren't talking about a person, we're talking about a community.
If one person in a community condemns Putin while the rest of the community peddles his talking points, that person is the exception. Their contributions prove nothing about the community.
This kind of evidence only works in the aggregate.
Oh no I was using a person as a metaphor. Just replace person with community.
Okay, then the proper criticism is that you're a liar, typical of MLs. 🤷♂️
Want to change your argument again, or are you going to give up?
I mean, I'm not the one saying there was such a thread. The guy above is.
Just saying that if there is evidence of such, why wouldn't it be okay to point it out?
I also notice you seem to have trouble understanding what I'm typing from time to time. Just calm down and reread the conversation.
.ml here, I hope he goes to prison for a very long time.
Granted I knew nothing of the differences between .ml, hexbear, etc at the time I joined, and still kinda don't. To be fair I question what the hell im doing half the time anyway lmao.
Maybe someone that is a little more involved in the different servers could shine some light? Cause man I get frustrated seeing some of the stuff I do, even when I try to tailor my feed to certain subs it still bleeds through lol.
.ml is run by tankies. They ban people for criticizing China and Russia.
I just joined an instance that was towards the top of the list, I didn't do any research into the difference between them.
Tankies like Trump? I thought they favored that one woman, unfortunately her name escapes me at this moment.
Jill the Spoiler Candidate Stein? Of course they'd like her, she's in bed with the Russian government.
Thank you, that's her.
de la cruz
The baseball player?
Tankies like whatever is bad for America or good for Russia with no other considerations. Trump is bad for America and good for Russia.
I do understand Tankies are generally anti-America but your logic of them being anti-American and thus pro-Trump doesn't fit for what I see on Lemmy.
What are you on about? As a mainliner hexer we would be happy to see Trump not living, just look at the response when he was shot or got covid.
Yes, we wish the fascist is dead, but the things we talk about will put the fascists in power. Somehow putting the fascist in power will definitely end up killing them and not giving them everything they ever wanted. Trust us.
Add this account to the victims of communism tally. One gorillion and one!
... I don't think anyone on .ml is mad about Trump not winning. And yeah, Trump is too old. Of course Biden was worse, but Trump's cognitive abilities are also not good enough to lead a country.
I don't think lemmy.ml is full of tankies
I just know that tankies are explicitly allowed all over ML
And they do love Trump
>".ml doesn't have terrible people"
>has an .ml account.
😐
Hey, I'm sorry I didn't get a PhD in “Lemmy instance vibe checking” before I chose to go for the devs’ instance.
Fuck Trump, and fuck generalizing tribalism.
That's a ridiculous oversimplification of what I said, but go on
The simplification is ridiculous because the statement itself was too.
What's ridiculous with what I said?
