tbh it looks like that whole lemmy instance is pure lolbertarian trash.

a hunch, really: i've met the type and had my suspicions, and then i've found that he posted the link about polish antitrust & consumer protection watchdog fining paypal, which is generally niche outside poland.

long, boring explanation follows

spoiler

there's an informal mode of address that conveys the (one-sided, frequently) sense of familiarity, which goes [2nd person singular] [noun in vocative case] [adjective referring to the noun], like panie szanowny (lit. esteemed sir, but the inversion from the adj + noun to noun + adj signals different mode; so “szanowny panie” is formal, “panie szanowny” is shortening distance or expressing annoyance); it can be used, and frequently is, as a phrase that's a personal affectation (e.g. “królu złoty!”, literally “golden majesty”). the affectation is usually rather annoying.

on the other hand “misiu” (vocative case of diminutive word for “bear” or “bear cub” or “teddy bear”) is a common word of endearment.

so “misiu kolorowy” is a bit of a wordplay on both, and should generally convey serious lack of respect and clear annoyance. (i'm guilty of using this from time to time since the times of polish usenet.)

there's an added bonus in that there was a popular child series “miś colargol”, the pronunciation of “colargol” and “kolorowy” are pleasantly alliterative. (now this really shows my age….)

yeah, pretending that this is just a misunderstanding of the language is a bit disingenuous, but i'm not going to argue with the results.

they also stored this thing as a fucking string. looking up strings is costly.

those are extraordinary claims and i'm sure you can give pointers to peer-reviewed materials that back them up.

when you will be doing that, please consider which parts of earth you feel are overpopulated, what quantum of global resources are they getting and what should be done with it; please convey the results of your considerations back to us.

the eugenicist language and narrative should've been at least strongly challenged

Seirdy's. Seirdy's fedinuke list is a perfect starting point; and you might want to review his tier0 blocklist (you will probably apply almost all of these).
