"What the hell is Manhwa?"

Edit: My guess is the last thing he can't remember the name of is "Train to Busan".

It's finally happened tankiejerkers, we're famous!

I like how they screenshotted my bio as if that's an own, and then pinged both of my accounts.

The Question that OP asked was: "China is the future, do you agree?"

The flag I commented is a flag of China. The Republic of China, that is.

Brave take at the top of the screenshot which was then flooded by minions of the grad.

I tried to not post any Cowbee because it was too easy but you're welcome to check out the thread and post your own findings.

I'd like to say they could enjoy the company of more liberals if they didn't ban them on sight due to their desire to feel superior and inability to tolerate differing opinions, but I couldn't respond because I was banned. (Ban reason: "liberalism")

.world defed when‽

The tankies hurt themselves in their confusion!

Adam Something is pointing out Russia is falling in to fascism, and campists think that pointing out that the USA is also degenerating into fascism (and Adam recognizing it) is somehow a dunk.

Later on they try to backpedal in the comments after being called out for this whataboutism shit take, by saying that "no of course I don't defend Russia, but..."

Note: I'm not here to defend Adam Something; but merely to point out that common counter-argument "we never defended Russia" runs kinda shallow when they constantly run interference like that.

I've come to two realizations recently:

One

The sudden tankie willingness to believe that Trump cares about a cease-fire in Gaza, and got tough with the Israelis and then they capitulated which Biden could have done at any time, sheds some interesting light on how the tankies think. They accuse anyone who disagrees with them of shifting their realities around, such that anything Biden does is good, anything the State Department says is always true, even if it contradicts itself or basic common sense or reality. I always thought that this was just a lazy reality-free arguing tactic, but in retrospect, I should have realized that it's a tell about their own thought process. Just like it's a warning sign if someone constantly suspects their partner of cheating, or is constantly on an absurdly hypervigilant lookout for scams and people trying to cheat them out of money, this is a key revelation about the way Hexbear itself looks at reality.

Trump is a capable diplomat, if believing that lets them trash Biden. Trump cares about Palestinians, if believing that lets them trash Biden. The cart is firmly in its place in front, and everything else including the horse can follow along depending on what the cart dictates.

Two

Hexbear's censorship, and wild hostility to anyone who comes to "their" place and tries not to toe the party line, really does do a pretty effective job of distorting the view of reality and consensus that their users are able to experience.

Take a look at these and compare:

Simple competition gaslighting. The bigger the better.

Bonus round:

Thank the gods we have these brave, pure, online leftists to stand up against fascism, for the sake of the lives of the oppressed.

I pointed out the dishonest outright lies a post was making and rustled some jimmies.

Any day I rustle the jimmies of tankies is a good day.

The rest of the modlog was pretty entertaining too.

Edit: No the comment below my ban in this screenshot is not my comment. I guess that was confusing some people.

Full context: someone had posted a picture of the Obamas in a wine cellar and everyone was deriding them for being so bourgeois as to own a wine cellar (all the usual high level discourse such as "MichelleSoUgly lmaolol")

I pointed out that this was them at a private event at a restaurant that has a wine cellar and not their own personal wine cellar. Everyone then freaked out that I was "defending the Obamas" and I got banned for Liberalism.

Went to the modlog for a reply to @gravityowl@lemm.ee and didn't even need to really dig to find yet another .ml example

@JiveTurkey@lemmy.world welcome to the "banned from a .ml community for a sensible take" club

I just got banned from /c/latestagecapitalism for calling out GodlessCommie in a completely different thread. If you look at their modlog they're ban happy and spread loads of Chinese misinformation.
