https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

Current Russia is about as far from communism, socialism or any left-wing agenda as possible. It is a reactionist, authoritarian, pro-tradition anti-progress state run by a wealthy elite. Being against current Russia has literally nothing to do with McCarthyism, other than geography.

PSA @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml is a troll

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

@InternetCitizen2 is a self admitted troll who has started stalking me across all of lemmy lying about me in every thread because he got enraged I said genocide denial is bad.

moron can't even @ right

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ok, still not what I was talking about, as you know.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Then please explain what other association you have with McCarthy? Because the one I perceive as commonly used seems to not be it?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Accusing people of being Russian agents with no evidence as away of silencing disagreement.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Eeh, come on. While yes, that is one way to put it, McCarthy has a certain ring to it, especially in left and liberal circles. Something something you cannot not evoke a thing without its frame.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Notice how I know have multiple people stalking me across my entire post history and attacking me because I asked for evidence?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's the same post you simpleton.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Notice how this person is replying to every discussion I'm involved in to slander me; they're doing that because I asked for evidence and they're so furious they've started stalking me.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What evidence did you ask me for?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I didn't ask you; just seeing me ask at all made you rage so hard you've started stalking my post history.

Remember, you're acting like this because I had the gall to say genocide denial is bad.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Which is something you never said, so... Ok

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Remember, you’re acting like this because I had the gall to say genocide denial is bad.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, it's broken agian. Look at that.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Remember, this is the behavior that me saying genocide denial is bad has reduced you to.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You spin me right round baby right round
Like a record baby right round

Don't even bother with brainlessbox. It's a massive troll and ends up just repeating itself when faced with pushback.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 days ago

Attacking all of your political enemies by claiming that they're secretly Russian agents, and then accusing anyone who asks you for evidence of also being Russian agents is very much in line with the ring McCarthy has to in in left and liberal circles.
