I wonder what the guys over at lemmy.ml and hexbear.net would have to say about this?

[–] PugJesus 47 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

"It was just a meeting!"

"Whatabout the US???"

"Cambodian genocide didn't happen, or if it did it wasn't that bad, or if it was it's not a big deal, and if it is, it wasn't the Khmer Rouge's fault, or if it was their fault, they didn't mean to, or if they did mean to the ~~kulaks~~ intellectuals deserved it."

"Khmer Rouge were a CIA psyop, this is all Amerikkka's fault"

BANNED is how they respond to wrongthink

Wait, I've seen this style of reaaoning before...

At least in Norway, Marxist Leninist publicly supported Pol Pot well into the 70s. I would bet on #2, with an added element of whataboutism taking about America's wars.

They like all these people, they'd probably just start masturbating.

[–] Diplomjodler3 10 points 1 week ago

Joe Biden made them do it!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

they claim that pol pot wasn't a real communist.

I'm just here for the ensuing internet slapfight.

World isn't federated with Hexbear, thankfully, so there will be no spam of pigs shitting on their own balls or emoji shibboleths here.

So that's why their posts suddenly appeared on my /all after switching to a smaller instance. Before that, I had not fully understood what it was about when those people were mentioned in comment sections.

[–] PugJesus 11 points 1 week ago

Terribly annoying, they were. I don't miss them in the least. Members of .ml have good takes at least some of the time - Hexbear are just 4channers wearing red.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are we not on Lemmy.ml? I have no clue how this damn thing works.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

You're on .ml viewing a post on .world.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I say, expose all the concealed skeletons of all politicians, whatever brainwashed rhetoric they're pushing. Fuck Mao or Meow or whatever.

is that good enough for you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We will watch your account with great interest.

(To see if you get banned from anything ml lol)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Banned, for comments? Is this Reddit? lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Absolutely. Ml is a particularly vindictive instance.

All other things aside, Mao has some legendary lack of chin. Like... Was this just a bad angle? I've only seen missing chins in caricatures and comic book villains.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Chin game weak

He never had much of a chin, but it seems his photos when he's older it got much worse

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Incest.

We got the habsburg chin and the Mao chin

Mao clearly indicating he just made a #2.

[–] kokesh 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All great leaders make #2 in their pants!

Or it's that rude gesture the Bri'ish do to call each other a cunt.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

At this point in Mao's life, making a nice number 2 would have been a big achievement.
