I don't have any one political view I make my own and follow no one

how do you get to the age of being a grown, functional adult and still believe this

political education is down the shitter

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 112 points 7 months ago

this is the kind of guy who looks you dead in the eyes and describes himself as a "lone wolf" without a hint of irony

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 91 points 7 months ago

Political education in the US is designed to churn out peoole who unironically say shit like that and simultaneously believe that they are radical and unique from everyone else saying the sane thing

[-] Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt@hexbear.net 68 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That's not unique to amerika. Its a Liberalism thing. kkkanadians are no better.

I'm just a hard working country boy, which is why I believe we should let the workers run the factories instead of the bosses.

floppy-owl OH GOD I'M ON A WATCHLIST

[-] beef_curds@hexbear.net 78 points 7 months ago

The comments on the .world post read like an advert for .ml. "They banned me for being a piece of shit, and tried to have slurs blocked in the source."

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 59 points 7 months ago

The devs come off extremely based in that github thread the poster linked. "Fork it if you don't like it" as if "Lemmy_but_with_slurs" is going to overtake the original version.

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 69 points 7 months ago

Despite the devs' well known communist leanings, I'm 99% sure that the requirement is there just to prove that the applicant actually read the registration directions and is not a bot.

@dessalines@hexbear.net or @dessalines@lemmy.ml

@nutomic@hexbear.net @nutomic@lemmy.ml

@jackmarxist@hexbear.net

If you're here, please put a question about "was General Dessalines' decision to kill off the remnants of French slaver class in Haiti a genocide or not, regardless of whether you agree or not with the action?"

Then we'll hear of them kkkrakkas complain about white genocide, when they search up that based purge... lmao

I was always under the impression that the .ml stood for Marxist-Leninist

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 40 points 7 months ago

No but the admins are definitely Marxist-Leninists, one even uses Castro as a pfp

they should really change their "about" page from [shit communists like] to [shit communists like (scary)]

[-] Faresh@lemmy.ml 36 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I really don't understand why lemmy.ml's instance description no longer has "leftist" in it as it once had. That probably would have prevented a lot of the confusion. (and probably would have somewhat preserved the "culture" of the instance even after the reddit flood)

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 48 points 7 months ago

There are a lot of American liberals there who think that being centre-right is actually "leftist" so I think it's related to that. It isn't really a leftist instance anymore and hasn't been since the big reddit exodus, so that's probably why.

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 54 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's funny that hexbear and grad both talk about lemmy.ml as though its turned into reddit, meanwhile the .worlders all talk about it like it's Bolshevik Central, all because the devs maintain their stance on not being orientalist and most westerners cannot conceive of a critique of a non-western country that isn't couched in at least a little bit of racism.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 39 points 7 months ago

I think the mods on lemmy.ml are fairly active at ~~combating casual racism and ableism~~ eliminating freezepeach, so I could see why the .worlders hate it so much.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
