Does Lemmy have a Confidently Wrong community yet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

LOL, you said that 4 hours ago. If that's really true then get the fuck out if my notifications already.

"Fin." said the guy who spent a week trying to get the last comment. Fucking clown.

LOL, yeah, definitely didn't say that, but that's about the level of comprehension I'd expect from a dude who thinks someone who's drinking til they puke is more sober than everyone else.

Will do! Thanks for dropping in on a week old thread to let me know what a dipshit you are!

To be fair, I think their actual national pastime is Cricket, which is significantly more boring.

I've never had them, so I can't comment on their taste, but aesthetically, it looks like a dish you'd be served in a Soviet prison.

Well, I'm really sorry if I done something to give you the impression I give a fuck what you think. That definitely wasn't my intention.

I mean, yeah, but that's so much better. Sure, our food sucks, but it sucks in such an elevated way that it's almost an art form. British food seems like it was made by a guy desperately trying to put together a meal from ingredients he bought at a gas station. American cuisine seems like it was made by a chef who is losing his sanity to Lovecraftian horrors beyond our comprehension. The world looks at beans and toast and laughs at how pathetic it is.They look upon the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco and weep, for they now know there is no God.

Sure, just like we created a story about him fucking a couch to bring attention to what a weird little choad he is.

...or you don't start a public community on a public website if you don't want input from the public? Also, the other mods on /c/Vegan removed the Mod responsible for this ban wave, so it seems like they agree with me that downvotes aren't grounds for community bans. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Alright, well I didn't realize creating a private community was such a hassel, but I still don't see why I'm expected to hide from this community when they post antagonistic shit. If they want to insult people who eat meat, fine, but then you have to deal with the fact that the people you just insulted might downvote you. It's not my job to help them insulate their echo chamber.

Tankie's original use was for British communists who supported Soviet military expansion. In the modern sense, it is used to describe communists who are authoritarian-apologists. For example, a communist who romanticizes the Soviet Union or makes excuses for the Uyghur genocide is a tankie. I've also seen it stretched to include militant anti-capitalists, or more commonly, "militant," anti-capitalists who call for violent resistance to capitalism from the safety of a keyboard.

Democratic-Socialists are not tankies. Socialists are not tankies. I don't even think most communists qualify as tankies. Criticizing Democrats does not make you a tankie. Condemning Israel's human rights violations does not make you a tankie. Voting third party doesn't make you a tankie. I see this term used here every day, but never correctly.
