Hmmm. This is something I would call Western chauvinism, but I guess you gave it a more generalised definition.

Feel free to, but be aware that it's much smaller than hexbear and you'll have to speak Portuguese lol

Huh, maybe. I do see the tendency for them to try to dunk on "tankies" and feel good about it, though I would argue this is normal for any group of people trying to fit in with each other.

I find it silly, though, that they feel it's important and has real material impact in the world to wear the Ukrainian flag on their handles and other such shenanigans. Like they're speaking truth to power, only there's no power that represses them.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. This is something I consider myself, seeing as I live a somewhat okay life and things like revolution and civil war would certainly destabilise that. But I don't know if most people would have this level of self awareness; at least, not on a conscious level. I think the libs you are referring to would not be able to articulate fully that the status quo benefits them and that is enough to warrant their support. No, what bothers me, I think, is that there is no such recognition, only proclamations of submission to greater ideals, such as democracy, freedom and, of course, the very recent and not nearly far-reaching enough LGBTQ rights. In this sense, I almost find fascists more tolerable, because they at least seem self aware and honest about their intentions (when talking to each other, at least).

The moral imperative of these people is always supporting NATO hegemony as global peacekeepers, so fuck other countries' interests and alliances.

Most do realise this. Most are oriented this way.

I do know most people are aware of this tactic. But I feel I also encounter people who are similar to ultras in the sense that they defy everyone, be it the US, China, Russia or whatever, but end up inadvertently (I think) focusing their attacks on opponents of the US, be they communists or not.

I think I know a lib when I see one. I am referring to people who say "Fuck the CCP, fuck the US" and truly believe in what they are saying, and then end up online attacking mostly the former out of some gullible principle.

Maybe you're right and the people I'm describing don't exist, or are so few in number as to be irrelevant. But a lib makes more sense to me than these people.

I usually "hang out" (lurk) more on hexbear than on my home instance, but the folks at lemmy.eco.br are usually cool as well

Also the logic behind "communism no iphone"

Someone pointed that out in the thread, then followed it up that the tanks were coming back from the supposed actual massacre

That's more or less what I meant. I'm not so sure about what you said of requiring attestation for general secretary, mostly because of what the curriculum for that would be and who would be in charge of defining said curriculum. Admittedly, though, I haven't given this topic much thought

Gonna say something controversial, but I don't think judges should be elected. At least, they shouldn't only be elected.

What I mean is, being a judge (at least in the current state of things) is something that requires a lot of technical knowledge, and this should be attested through some kind of examination, at the very least. I think the same of many other kinds of government officials, as well. What I think could work is submitting to elections those approved in specific examination. Ideally, we'd also be able to remove from office any judge through vote, at any time. And, of course, there should be no room for high ranking politicians handpicking people for office, as well, as it happens where I live, in some cases.

I express this opinion as someone who has worked closely to the judicial system. Of course, I'm open to changing my mind if someone wants to express their opinion.

This goes hard
