Prepare for the 14year Olds on hexbear to come in and pretend that China has a great government

[–] [email protected] 42 points 10 months ago

You know, that actually makes sense. 14-year-olds. It would explain a lot about hexbears.

Yeah, the Chinese government is totally very democratic and is receptive to the criticism of its citizens! They never censor words and topics they don't like on their social media platforms!

Just got banned from Hexbear for saying something negative about China and the US at the same time. They have no tolerance of any discussion that challenges their preconceptions.

My feed got a lot less irritating when I blocked posts from CyberGhost.

imagine lemmy if we could user-level defederate lemmygrad & hexbear

paradise

It's such a fucking pain in my ass to have to block every single community from Lemmygrad and Hexbear. I'm so tired of seeing their dumbass 7th grade love of fascists and racism.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

alongside having to block all the users that intrude on other subs to post their tankie propaganda

It's astounding that they are fascist lovers but parody the use of Leningrad in their name. Pick an ethos, guys.

One of the many things I love about Blahaj is that we're no longer federated with Hexbear, there was a bit (frankly a shit ton)of drama getting there but those days when we were federated I blocked more Hexbear users than users from any other instance.

Join us on Blahaj, we're explicitly queer friendly and we don't have to deal with Hexbear anymore.

Of course once we can migrate accounts that will likely be a far easier sell.

Blocking chapo and news was really good for me.

Tankies forget that Trotsky existed.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

Tankies forget that anything that isn't stalinism is also considered socialist

*authoritarian, not fascist. There is a difference.

*authoritarian, not fascist. There is a difference.

When authoritarians are in power long enough, whatever ideology the revolution the previous generation had gets replaced by an emphasis of simply maintaining power through whatever means necessary. And fascism is the easiest way to accomplish that.

We can debate over whether Mao was really socialist or whatever, but he's dead it doesn't much matter now. The CCP today is accepting of billionaires, capitalism is legal, labour unions are illegal, the leadership is misogynistic, oppressive towards minorities, promotes the "century of humiliation" narrative. Oh and people live in fear of another Tienanmen Square style massacre. Whatever China was in the past, it's fascist today.

And Russia? WTF are leftist (or so they claim) weirdos going on about there? The Soviet Union collapsed and was replaced with a capitalist democracy which became fascist under Putin's regime.

There's this weird thing where so-called leftists think that if some kind of socialism existed on a patch of earth then they need to carry water whatever fascist that's ruling over that patch of earth today.

Link to the original meme?

[–] youCanCallMeDragon 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What did the original say? I haven’t seen it

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Probably some tankie shit

You're probably missing out on a free headache by not seeing it

Because so much tankie shit is so frustrating I get a headache

[–] NocturnalMorning 13 points 10 months ago

This is the way
