It's embarrassing that liberals can't see through this shit in 2026. It's somehow more pathetic that they're too scared to put on a MAGA hat when they say it or cheer it on like John Birch Society hogs.

At least Deceptichum has a fun name for a fed account. That's kind of quirked up for the State Department.

I remember this dude, got so mad by Cowbee calmly showering him with theory that he turned into a corncob.

“Literacy” was always the most basic tool of totalitarian propaganda. If you are not literate you can’t be fed communist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-communist I knew in my childhood was my maternal grandfather who was illiterate. Communist propaganda did not reach him

They banned my Lemmy.ml account from their meme sub for "voting while tankie," lol.

It wasn't even theory either, just Aptheker's account of the Hungarian counter-revolution in 1956, as well as MI6's role in stoking it and the CIA's involvement. Deceptichum kept downplaying lynchings of Jewish people and communists, then tried to change the subject rather than confront their misunderstood beliefs.

Theory showering doesn't work, you can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink. I tend to link works as supporting evidence, not arguments in and of themselves. Theory gets linked for those that ask or seem like they want it.

Thoughtcrime lol, i assume all the jorjor'well enthusiasts there rallied to your defense?

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

I never even commented there, so I believe it went unnoticed. I only found out because @Maeve@lemmygrad.ml let me know about it!

Lmao, so it was a potential thoughtcrime, like the time when r/communism permanently banned every r/genzedong user they could locate because they were so angry that GZ celebrated Gonzalo death.

Yea basically. Depectichum seems to post less on dbzer0's lefty memes comm because they get pushback on their posts there, so they made their own meme comm and ban anyone "tankie," while pretending they aren't just anti-Marx in general.
