LOOK AT THIS DOPE ASS BEAR
Jealous? 
Honestly if the result of the federation is just every lib instance defederating and having to write one of these “it’s not for ideological reasons, it’s just that supporting NATO is mandatory” announcements it’s all been worth it, that shit is funny as hell
Literally nothing changes for us except them starting internal conflict, which is definitely fun to go poke at with a stick
Yeah, our phase of having site-destroying struggle sessions has been over quite awhile. For these new instances, they’re just getting started.
The current mods are chill. The current active user base is chill. Most of the posts are either News Of The Day or hobbies or podcast drama or inside joke shit posts.
Imagine being a community that’s terrified of this.
speaking of inside joke good god, this one user I’ve been arguing with on .world keeps insisting that no one on this instance or lemmygrad is joking actually, we’re all serious 100% of the time, and I’m just like… hello? I use this instance, I know when people are joking, you don’t, please stfu like holyshit I don’t know why concern trolling drives me so fucking nuts
We’re not joking about being communists or the stuff that people assume is ironic like supporting AES states, but we do joke a lot around the margins
we’re all serious 100% of the time
No, everything has to be serious at all times and we cannot find any humor in the absurdity of hell world.
The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991.
I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence.
Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper.
I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten.
In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate.
Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership.
There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it.
My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin.
I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism).
My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money.
I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol.
I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own.
My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it.
I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist.
During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil.
William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles.
George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together.
The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor.
Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall.
I am running out of walls.
When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution.
I am very smart and people like being around me.
Chill by our standards, but to them we’re terrifying tankist herbicide deniers with doubleplusungood heterodox thought patterns, like “Actually it’s bad when NATO does stuff” and “Racism isn’t okay just because you used an algorithm to do it” and “Seize the means of production, abolish private property, end wage labor, and create a moneyless, classless, stateless society and/or a society structured on mutual aid”.
don’t forget the absolute worst transgression, “I’m glad slaveowners are dead”
Just
this out there for the Lemmy libs:Both sides of a war can be bad. We don’t have to support either. The working class are the only victims, and will continue to be victimized until peace is negotiated.
I know. I know. This makes me a woke tankie. I bring shame on our house.
I think my favorite comment on their announcement was the one that was like, “they’re even on MOSCOW TIME!” If that was one of you jokers making a funny, don’t tell me. Just let me enjoy it.
Lemmyworld is forever going to be referred to as the instance full of pedos, transphobes and fascists that tried its hardest not to defederate an explicitly nazi instance while pulling this shit with a soft dirtbag left instance that spawned from the chapo podcast of all things.
Like, what a fucking reputation to give yourselves so early on.
2.0Liberals hate socialists more than they hate fascists
Haha, your comment is taken as example by a poster with many upvotes to why it is good to not federate with us. Since it shows people obvious dunking (so people being uncivil) aren’t allowed liberal rights of the marketplace of ideas. They feel it is unfair to label them “full of pedos” (for taking to long to ban the stuff, unfair to be labeled transphobes (though there is still plenty to be found on the site, unless hexbear), unfair to be labeled being more friendly to fascists than socialists.
Funny that the unfair labeling of hexbear’s userbase doesn’t seem to be as unfair.
If they don’t want to be labelled as “full of pedos” then they shouldn’t be federated with instances serving pedo content while defederating with instances like ours.
They’ve made their bed, they can lie in it. They think a bunch of socialists are worse than pedos and nazis. They can have a taste of what that means in terms of reputation when thousands and thousands of people repeat it everywhere.
In fairness we are probably the largest community of actual communists and anarchists etc that have read the manifesto and the bread book.certainly in America and kkklanada and probably in much of western euroe, too.
That’s a very bold claim you’ve made that people here have read the manifesto and the break book
I think GZD, even in it’s current form is still the largest tbh
Where is GZD these days?
Quarantined. I don’t understand why that effectively killed the sub, but didn’t for r/cth.
As far as I know, a replacement hasn’t sprung up yet on
. They were recommending people move to Lemmygrad when it was first quarantined.
They got super upset about me pointing out that we’re over here having a great time while they wring their hands and yell at each other lol
holy shit this is great, one of them is now educating me on what communism is lmao:
This is prime example of my point.
Just so you know, we like communists (mostly, we are communists), we’re generally OK with socialists
Your statement reveals you have no knowledge of the subject or ideals you claim to believe in. Communism is a process in which to establish a Socialist utopia. It was conceived by Marx based on the Machiavellian quote “The ends justify the means.” and was laid out in the Communist Manifesto. It is a militant process in which to implement SOCIALISM by force. I am guessing you are a fan of how things worked out in China?
I like when libs talk about the Communist Manifesto like it’s some sort of step by step plan on how to achieve Communism. It’s a pretty easy sign there is not reason to engage with someone if they’re too brain dead or disingenuous to read a 30 page pamphlet.
“Marx studied Lenin”, and sho on <schniff>
Did Machiavelli say the ends justify the means? He spent a lot of pages talking about Virtu in his art of war book. The Prince is kind of it’s own thing and I don’t think we’ll ever have broad agreement on whether it’s supposed to be read straight or read as satire.
New site tagline just dropped
I am guessing you are a fan of how things worked out in China?
There was a famine sixty years, two governments, and at least one massive economic reform ago therefore communism bad.
Why do these communist countries keep having only one famine, early in their development, followed by no other famines and rapid increases in welfare and nutrition? Must be because they’re ontologically evil and want to do genocide by famine
