Classic crypto fascist comment. Post hog

Libs take information at face value and don’t consider it’s context.

If you want to know about any subject, ask a person that is a proponent of said subject first and then get the harshest criticism second and see how the first holds up. You will find an answer eventually in this hegelian dialectic. E.g. You don’t want an anti-feminists explaining feminism to you, without hearing from a feminist first.

you asked what a “tankie” is in one of the very few places on the internet that is a tankie space/instance. Let them explain to you first. The removed comments are “dronies” (politically confused people that hold the same views as western imperialists and are subject to their hegemony) are outsiders that come from other parts of the fediverse repeating the same talking points you read about everywhere else on the (western) internet. (To stay with the analogy: similar to an anti-feminist saying that feminists hate men, when its not true). Comments get removed here when they are factually wrong

Cope lol

What no theory does to a mf

radlibs are a specific type of internet progressive that support oppressive, authoritarian regimes.

Randomly posting images of a prison proves jack shit about anything.

If I ask a Pole who was in charge before 1989, they’ll say the Kremlin.

If you ask a lib who’s in charge of the economy, they’ll say the invisible hand of the market. Doesn’t mean it’s true.

Communities that go against hegemonic capitalist/imperialist discourse will always get marginalised. Not being able to take down those communities easily like on Reddit is a huge win by itself for Lemmy. The software offers a valuable savehaven for e.g ex r/chapotraphouse, r/genzedong etc.
