    You may not have insulted anyone from lemmy but you’ve insulted a random Internet stranger that you have never met and know nothing about. If that isn’t a problem to you, I don’t know what to say. There’s not some magic rule where it’s only insulting if the person in question is present.

    In fact, sharing this person’s image specifically to insult them without their knowledge and consent is way creepier and shittier behaviour

      Little is seen of this person to recognize him personally with the mask on, it is the generic descriptive portrait that describes a real problem, it could equally have been a caricature or the simple description- Those who do not recognize their own behavior in this, should not feel insulted at all and those who do recognize themselves, perhaps make them reflect that ideology cannot be a mere fashion behind a screen.

        You want other people to do self-reflection here, but maybe you should give it a whirl and really try to think about what has been said in this thread. There’s nothing normal about spreading a photo of a real person who you do not know and tagging it with jokey insults about how they live their life (which, again, you know nothing about and are merely projecting your own assumptions on to)

          Ok, no more memes and criticism of comunists, is it what you mean?

            Are you being purposefully obtuse? Or do you still not see that the argument I am making is that you are not, in fact, “criticizing communists,” you are criticizing this one person you have never met and spreading their photo without consent in order to make them the butt of a joke.

              It seems that you know who this person is to accuse me of exposing someone, but I see that I have put up a ‘Muhammad cartoon’ for certain people in this subforum. I only know that with so much ‘tolerance and understanding’ if constructive criticism is attempted through a meme, pointing to the failures of the left, I have stumbled upon something that is precisely the error, causing the right to continue to gain ground while the left loses in debates without the slightest attempt to analyze where their own behavior fails. Good luck to you, comrades, looking at the finger that points to the Moon, while governments and the streets are filled with people with the Nazi salute.
