      Well, just prepare yourself for the quick and simple comebacks of ‘umm… rightist infighting’. You can patch up all the leaks in the pipe, but another one could still spring.

    …Have they considered that MAYBE i hate yankees more than nationalist Russians who happen to do anti imperialist work??? Even against their will?

    Ill take a libertarian Russian who kills a NATO dog over any American radlib any day that ends in Y.

    If yankees want me to like them… Just work at dismantling NATO. It ISNT hard.

    The post author NXL had several comments deleted and was banned for pretty abject sinophobia and all round brainrot so of course they’ve went crying to a bunch of libs about how their bigoted ignorant takes got them banned.

    Peak narcissism. Where that Principal Skinner meme when you need it.

    Edit: they are now using that sub redditactionfront as justification that we are all unhinged brutes because we have a sub a dedicated to brigading other sites despite the fact that sub is dead and I’ve never saw anyone engage with it in my time on here.

    Completely missing the points that:

    • nobody engages with it
    • anyone can make a sub
    • lemmygrad while ML isn’t homogeneous

    Grasping at straws to justify their little tantrum 🤣

      They used the RAF as justification despite the sidebar being right there on their screenshot and explaining the whole point of the community lol

      NXL also black-on-white said this is indistinguishable from MAGA forums, completely missing the point that BECAUSE maga forums do this, communists should do this too.

      I’m glad they got banned from here so I can’t access that thread from my instance, because clearly they needed a round two debate.

        Here’s another example of their absolute stupidity. I posted this anarchist meme in a thread they were in specifically mocking them for their ignorance.

        Not only have they failed to realise that, they’ve taken the meme and tried to dunk on others in a completely different post.

        HOW CAN THEY BE THAT DENSE?!

        The funniest part and how I know this is the meme I used to mock them, it has the little black line at the bottom where I lazily cropped it before posting.

        Fucking idiots.

      they purposefully went here to make their obligatory “CCP bad!!” post to get banned. They manufactured their own consent. This is on purpose.

      Disagreeing with the policies of China’s government is not “sinophobia” I can’t believe how stupid anyone could be to actually believe such a thing. You cry about bigotry but your own posts are just full of it. It’s a poor excuse for moderation, and it really is just an excuse to silence people who don’t play along with your fairy tale communism. You talk about narcissism yet you only seek to create an echo chamber for your extreme and inaccurate views.

    I can see where the liberals are coming from. In contrast to soulless dystopias like Russia or China, living in the free West affords us all the pleasures of life one could ever imagine. You just have to spend 8x5 hours per week working to pay the rent that always goes up and never down, stay overtime to get rid of your student loan debt, pee into bottles on the job, ration food and medicine, hope not to catch the seasonal new or resurrected virus, somehow get through the next few winters without cooking or heating, and manage not to think too much about climate change as forests near your city turn into flaming infernos, and then feel free to travel*, read*, assemble*, consume*, or run your mouth* as much as you like!

    This is the unfortunate result of lemmy having no firmly declared political stance. A supposedly leftist project that permits anyone to make their own instance, up to and including fascists, is not leftist. It’s liberal. The main lemmy instance is itself painfully liberal, to the point of being outright fascistic, as we see in this thread.

    Slava Z and cry more libshits.

        Yeah, I’ve never interacted with them but have been told as much. I just don’t have as much tolerance for this gestures at the lemmy thread about us.

        As others have said in this thread, these libs are unwilling to allow communists to have even our own, obscure platform. It wasn’t enough to chase us off reddit, they have to come here and extirpate us from a site that was created specifically for leftists. (whatever the fuck a leftist is at this juncture).

    “Forcible suppression of opposition”

    Hey, libs, while watching the movie today, I watched three ads from our beloved liberal media, in two of which they called for the Caucasus and Siberia to secede from Russia. Do you call this suppression of the opposition?

      Meanwhile Zelensky dissolved all left parties (and arrested their leaders).

      That Wikipedia list is so stupid it can apply to anyone.

      Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian,

      See Zelensky above (and the other shit he did)

      ultranationalist political ideology and movement,

      Calling Russians and Chechens orcs

      characterized by a dictatorial leader,

      Ukraine

      centralized autocracy,

      Ukraine

      militarism,

      Getting weapons from NATO en masse

      forcible suppression of opposition,

      See above

      belief in a natural social hierarchy,

      Ukrainians = civilised, Russians = savages

      subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation and race,

      All men prevented from leaving the country to be used as conscripts

      and strong regimentation of society and the economy

      Not allowed to accept food from Russia anymore.

      “Forcible suppression of opposition”.

      So by their own criteria, liberals are fascists— beginning with the French Revolution, in which they killed and suppressed the feudal ruling class and its institutions, and with more modern or recent examples including COINTELPRO or the U.S. police brutalizing BLM protestors in 2020.

        Don’t forget the so‐called American Revolution and both sides of the U.S. Civil War, where the material conditions once again took precedence over liberal ideology. Forcible suppression of opposition is a means to an end, not vice versa. That’s partly why I’ve been studying and discussing Fascism more, because equating it with violent suppression is a popular oversimplification and a classic case of confusing the tail for the dog.

        They disavowed French Revolution even before it finished. As they did with every other bourgeois (their!) revolution. Marx explain this in his two books about France 1848-1850, and Lenin was saying like every 10 pages in 1905-1917 that liberals need to be dragged by proletariat to fight even for their own interests, and the moment they get any fake crumb from landlords they instantly turn counterrevolutionary.

    I love seeing the sopuli and beehaw people beg anyone to come to their instances which exist solely because they can’t stand being disagreed with on their liberalism or educating themselves, despite pretending to be bastions of free speech and what-have-you.

    “We are free speech because we don’t like see see pee.”

      It’s so bizarre to see someone make such a brazenly false and inaccurate rationalization for what’s going on, but I guess these are the stories you tell to comfort yourself. The only people who “couldn’t stand to be disagreed with” are the admins who remove and ban content that they dislike. It’s nothing more than that, otherwise most of us would stay on these instances in spite of the presence of obnoxious and toxic western leftists. Most of us who fled are not liberals but all you guys do is straw man and say every thing you don’t like is liberal. If you cared about education so much you’d start with yourself. The issue was never “free speech” but bad moderation. That’s just another ridiculous straw man.
