Jesus, that thread

Their “anti-Orientalism” (read as pro-tankie) policy has been known for a good while.

kombucha-disgust

Lemmy.ml was always garbage and I blocked almost every community there because most of their posts are about capitalism or landlords

100% this person is a landlord

this really upsetting since they have c/technology and c/privacy communities. Someone might post something like high-tech surveillance of actvtists or Uyghurs

lmao this is from the thread's OP

Lemmy dot ml is like, one step away from becoming another Lemmygrad.

inshallah

Pro-tankie is when I'm not allowed to imply that Westerners are good-hearted and rational, but everyone else is a bunch of animals who need us to teach them how to be human

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 80 points 1 year ago

Lmao one of the top comments

(it takes 2 braincells to realize the CCP is 1984 incarnate).

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 97 points 1 year ago

Fuck these tankies man. I’m as leftist as they come and I HATE what these people are doing to the cause.

They did it, they did the meme unironically! farquaad-point

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 74 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

lol, the reply

1984 was based on the Soviet Union

galaxy-brain insight from lemmy.world as always

Read another book besides 1984, Animal Farm and Harry Potter, please

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 64 points 1 year ago

Except russians are russians and they eventualy somehow fuck up everything they touch. God forbid they go full on democracy.

From 0 to racist in 5 seconds

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

these people think nazi germany was only bad because they didn't speak english

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Anti-communists read a book that isn't fiction challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

"Communism doens't work because of this fiction story I read, checkmate tankies"

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Who made that really good post about how 1984 was clearly based on England?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 48 points 1 year ago

I mean "leftist as they come" maybe they're ultraleft?

Lmao no we know they're just bernie bros

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago

Lmao no we know they're just bernie bros

More like "I voted for Pete Buttigieg".

The great Warren-Buttigege split of Hexbear has been a disaster for the posters

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

"Leftist as they come" always means "i'm a complete reactionary, but not as openly fascist as the people i hang out with." It's basically admitting you're the Tim Pool for your local chuds.

This is where I learned the word tankies. It sounds like British slang honestly.

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

michael-laugh thats my favorite part too!

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

oh 1 brain cell is enough for that

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

not wrong lol

[-] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 62 points 1 year ago

"i'm as leftist as they come" means "i am very slightly to the left of the democrats/tories/cdu"

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago

It generally means that they literally just want free shit without putting in any work. Actual Socialists want fair value for their labour.

[-] FrogFractions@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Pro-market laissez faire capitalist anti-unionist (they just take your money) but I like weed and I don’t hate gay people

I’m far left.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Legal weed and free college, but none of that annoying woke stuff and nothing that threatens the treat flow for affluent tech workers. marx-joker

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i want free shit without putting in any work AC-AnarKitty

[-] bigboopballs@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

It generally means that they literally just want free shit without putting in any work.

well things like health care, food and shelter should be free without any requirement of work.

Shoutout to @dessalines@lemmy.ml for being based as always, even if he does allow filthy libs on his site.

Check out Dessalines' Marxism Study Plan

Edit: oh this post is about a different mod, but as an instance admin myself I was scrolling the modlog yesterday and saw Dessalines had removed some of those same articles themselves, putting "no sources" as the reason. I figured there'd be a post about it soon lmao.

They always seem to end up succumbing to patriarchal cults, where Lenin-Hitler-Mao-Trump gets to do whatever he wants to your sons and your daughters, and you and your working class have no recourse.

fucking liberals

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

gets to do whatever he wants to your sons and your daughters, and you and your working class have no recourse.

But all of that is just the cost of business and acceptable if it's billionaires doing whatever they please with their hoards epsteingelion

hexbear-specter hexbear-specter hexbear-specter a spectre is living rent free in lemmy

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've been very lenient with libs. I generally let them say whatever they want as long as they say it in a respectable manner and don't break general rules. Don't really remove any pro Ukraine threads either rn.

Edit: It's just Dessalines removing stuff a lot. He is become authoritarian.

Here are my mod actions(I've been too much of a liberal here sadly)

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Dessalines is an evil tankie??? oooaaaaaaauhhh

Wait so you didnt even ban them? Lol they just single you out because you had marxist in your name

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

Yeah I just banned a spam bot and another guy spamming random shit with alts. Dessalines told me to be chill with bans.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
