I loved Slugabed's and Samuel Organ's collaborative project Peter Talisman. There's only one album out though and I don't know if they're going to make more. I've never heard music like that and so hasn't the Internet, because neither spotify, youtube or last fm is able to give me something similar to it.

If this is OSINT call me the CIA (slight /s)

another mod said that @muad_[email protected] is funded by the NED. Source: https://archive.is/G5Dh7

lmao you actually believe that us joking around that we're being funded by the NED is evidence that muad'dibber is funded by them?

For your information the NED is a CIA front created by an Act of Congress, it's a tool of regime change established after the CIA lost their capabilities to simply go change presidents in other countries in the 60s-70s.

The running joke on Lemmygrad is that we're all feds. You're wayyy out of your depth lol

Except they're sanctioning themselves!

Can you point to an example of where MLs inflicted pain and suffering on innocent working class people?

Xi is a marxist-leninist but the PRC recognizes Xi Jinping Thought (like they had MZT etc for all general secretaries) https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Xi_Jinping_Thought

He joined RationalWiki decrying ProleWiki as a tankie encyclopedia (despite him calling himself a Stalinist, or a Hoxhaist, or an MLM, he went through them pretty quickly) to mark good boy points with the liberals. Also tried making an article on Lemmygrad there.

The admins promptly banned him because they at least realised it was soapboxing. Then after that he went on the revived leftypedia, who was just setting up again, to deface it and make pages on lemmygrad and prolewiki. We got in there with forte and corrected his very funny but very wrong narrative he pulled out of his ass. This prompted him to create alts which were totally not him guys. He thought he was super clever about it and the mods bought it, but on the matrix (which he never joined for some reason but I did) everybody was tired of him and the only reason they could not ban him completely was because the admins were unresponsive and there were only mods with limited power.

He also tried to take over the communism fandom wiki which had no moderation and was eventually deleted because fandom doesn't allow political topics.

I'm picky about my discussions. Yes we should educate, educate, educate, but we are not in a position of power currently. Yet I see more and more people turn towards communism by themselves, and doing the reading. These new communists you can have discussions with.

There's certain social rules to a "discussion" (I still don't know what kind of discussions this person wanted to have). It requires that they be open to actually listening, even if they disagree. There's value even in liberal writers because they pull data and sometimes they can make surprisingly interesting analyses. I remember a student telling me about their masters' thesis on the energy challenges of Nigeria and it was interesting to have the data, even if the conclusion was very liberal and capitalist. Did I get up to him and attack him on every single point? What kind of discussion can you have if you do that?

If this person wanted a discussion, he could have sent an email. He could have joined the Discord -- they're all more prominent than the request an account button (which is a problem we're looking to fix). Why is giving him an account a better vector for discussion than the other methods? With an account, he can deface our pages and he knows this, because we have analytics and we see what people look at.

My second rule of discussion is I give the energy I get lol. If people start out hostile then I'll be hostile with them, so this person deserved everything they got.

PS: It's funny though because he looked at this page https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Talk:Juche/Archive and then left the website forever according to the analytics lol

There are some assumptions that are always safe bets to make, and this is one of them

Singapore actually, but honestly not that far off practically

Lemmy is open source so all of this would happen on the repo like it's been going on for 4 years, at most they should know where to start looking (in practice if they're a programmer they'll know what to do once on the repo).

Yeah that was essentially my reply in the rejection email:

How can there be a discussion when you don't even know the material you want to "discuss" against? Do you see us barging into college classes and start arguing with the prof on biochemistry, climate engineering or pharmacology? To assume you are more knowledgeable than us is not only disrespectful, it reeks of self-righteousness. You believe your NATO-friendly brand of socialism to be correct, and everything else to be incorrect, but you've clearly never engaged with Marxism in any capacity, otherwise you would know the abolition of the family has nothing to do with "breaking up families to raise kids in Huxleyan labs". You're like a 6th grader who mistakenly entered a college class; way out of your depth.

Read our pages, read our library, and then come back to ask about a discussion. It's time to graduate from fiction and kids books (we're surprised you didn't namedrop Animal Farm) and into real political analysis if you're actually serious about this.
