And of course they use it on a three-year-old post by one of the Lemmygrad admins. The post itself is a based picture: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8886

    Trolling? I guess if you are a proud US patriot, it could be traumatic to view such things.

    But projection? I’m really not sure what they’re getting at. Is it an admission that the US is currently attempting to overthrow the CPC? That still doesn’t explain why it would be projection to cheer for the reverse.

    We got someone from lemmy.world who reported the same comrade 4 times in a row, using slurs in their report, implying that it’s xenophobic to dislike Americans.

    Literally, wft.

      I’m always amused at how much I see misogynistic and ableist slurs getting “removed” censored from all these people who are supposedly Righteous Heros while they insult others for not supporting Ukraine, or being anti-USA or whatever it is. They don’t seem to have any self-reflection when it comes to insulting others for not being Righteous while simultaneously using degrading slurs and terms.

        They will literally be like “I’m a better person than you and a bastion of goodness for humanity, so now I will use slurs that are meant to demean and demonize you, because I’m a perfect person.” I’m willing to bet most of the people we have pouring in to argue with us over not supporting Liberal narratives actually hold worse views than we do and are trying to compensate for it by projecting them onto us.

        That’s what a lack of ‘self-crit’ will do to a person.
