Now you’re getting it!

The Biden administration aided and abbetted genocide. The American monoparty would be proceeding exactly as planned under genocide Harris as it is doing now, just slightly more slowly.

if white men couldn’t vote, we’d see a lot of advances I’d like – but I don’t want anyone disenfranchised.

hang on, hang on, let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good here.

“authoritarian” is a buzz word that left-liberals like yourself use to attack any country that has successful left-economic programs. Whether you realize it or not, you have been trained to deploy this label in defense of US empire.

The imgur album linked in the comment is almost 100% disinformation once it starts describing the alleged atrocities.

The first removed comment shown in the post is someone falsely claiming that China has “constant efforts to pretend it didn’t happen”

The linked imgur album is also full of outright disinformation about the incident.

Could you describe to me, in your own words, how the North Korean government functions and what elements make it a dictatorship? Because 99.99% of people who spout this nonsense don’t know shit about fuck and uncritically believe every single lie about that country that they hear from any given Western propaganda outlet.

It would be great if we could only support countries that were 100% good all the time, but tankies support countries that oppose the US even if they’re far from good because they recognize that no socialist revolution of any kind is possible until US hegemony is broken.

This post is complaining about disinformation being censored, which is good. Every website should censor disinformation regardless of source.

The Nazis had pacts with literally everyone. The Soviets were one of the last to sign one, because they had spent the proceeding years trying to form an explicitly anti-Nazi pact with the capitalist nations, only to be rebuffed.

If Chamberlain had listened to Stalin, the war either wouldn’t have happened, or it would have been over much more quickly.

people my grandfather killed in WWII

YSK that it was tankies who killed 80% of the Nazis in ww2

where did the free Palestine protestors go

Well a bunch of them got expelled, deported, blacklisted, arrested, and more. Many of their organizations were forcibly disbanded, and the campuses where they were active have been thoroughly militarized.

I just think there’s a contradiction in a) continuing to use a platform that is developed primarily by Communists and b) thinking that the platform being associated with Communists “actively harmful to the reputation of the Lemmyverse”. The fact is that the Lemmyverse is associated with Communists - or “tankies” as you insist on calling them - and so if that’s its reputation then the reputation is accurate.

the reputation of the Lemmy-verse

As long as the main devs of Lemmy are Dessalines and other communists, then the reputation of the Lemmy-verse being tied to a bunch of highly communist instances is just an objectively correct fact. Liberals are free to fork their own version of the software and call it something else.

You can tell they’re communists cuz they live rent free in the heads of every .world user.

True but only for terminally online liberals. I still haven’t heard anyone in real life ever use that word.
