None of these people go after the united states as hard as they go after communists with absolutely no power.

Largest imprisoned population, massive exporter of war, hosts almost all the richest most exploitative capitalists in the world, props up dictators around the world, multiple instances of interfering with democracy because they didn't like the result, literally makes children swear allegiance in school, holds the world to ransom every time they don't get what they want, disregards international law.

Thinking it's basically ok with some tweaks? Wholesome chungus opinion.

Largest imprisoned population

It cannot be stressed enough that this figure is NOT PER CAPITA. The US has the largest total number of prisoners of any nation on earth. It's fucking obscene the scale of the US prison system. Unimaginably worse than the worst depictions of the soviet gulag system.

"Hah, silly tankie, don't you know that China also bad? Heh, can't even understand nuance, which is why I have to support the US in order to stop you dumb tankies." smuglord

lenin-sure "Oh yeah? Give me a list of countries China has invaded or bombed in the last 40 years then."

[–] yunqihao@hexbear.net 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We invaded their minds and have been living their rent free ever since xi

I saw people on 196 unironically call me being kicked out as "wholesome chungus" and "extremely based"

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (6 children)

The instance with a nazi bar problem has people speaking in vague right wing dogwhistles? shocked-pikachu

Largest imprisoned population,

I've seen people just pretend with no evidence that it's China because lying seeseepee. I heavily disagree with the lack of transparency in the Chinese justice system, but people act like it entitles them to just assert literally anything.

Love that Lemmy was entirely created by communists and Hexbear, ML, and Grad are the OG instances and all these libs think they can just come in here and start litigating us out of a space that we literally created.

Hmmm... Why does that sound familiar?

Of fucking course the chaser-inclusive instance is putting a trans woman on blast for having opinions that make the liberals uncomfortable and ofc they whitewash it by performative "please do not bully the t slur we just put on blast" post. It's always the same with these assimilationist swine.

And of course they expose her like this before even telling her.

[–] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought it felt really uncomfortable, really mean-spirited in a way most of the fediverse callout posts really aren't. This is what I felt, isn't it? Fucking hell, the mods of 196 are bad news

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Mind you, i'm not saying it's absolutely and definitely intentional, i can't know this. My point is that the more acceptable it is to hate somebody, the more this type of exposure takes on a certain dynamic. We need to keep in mind here how virulently anti-communist 196 is, this is absolutely baiting them whether it's on purpose or not.

This could have been a note in the modlog. That wouldn't have been less transparancy in any way. You do not need a show trial like this to remove an inactive mod.

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Show trial? Nah this was basically summery execution on the spot, got banned first, everyone else found out, then they bothered to tell me after the fact.

I always forget how much of Lemmy lets Hexbear live rent free in their minds. We barely interact with them at all lol.

I hope they get a life one day.

This feud is just so annoying. Just to be clear, I'm not up to date on whatever drama or conflict happened last between the instances depicted, I just find it so stupid. lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear exist since earlier than probably 95+% of instances out there, and these .worlders act like we are the aggressors because we interact on the federated network they chose to use for their FOSS reddit alternative. There's a metaphor for colonisation somewhere in there, but I'm too tired to spell it out.

Edit: I see I fell for the meme. Still, my point stands for every time an actual .worlder or the like accused us of invading their online spaces

[–] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Authoritarianism is when you fight fascists, and the more fascists you fight the more authoritarian you are.

[–] kittenzrulz123@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago (4 children)

If you fight enough fascists you become a 1984 tankie :3

there's something serene about seeing 100+ comments and going "i'm not reading that, whatever it is", I think more Hexbears should try it

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

at this point anyone who talks shit about about tankies is just some ignorant fash applogist. fuck em, i have no patience for this nato leftist trash

Incredible western chauvanism in once again depicting se Asia as a bulwark for the colonial outposts. Like a greatest hits record

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

Lol imagine defending the fascists retaking Hungary because you hate communists so much. As always, anti communists are pro Nazis

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There's no fucking way that's the real reason they gave wtf. Let me check.

Holy shit it is. That's the fucking reason they gave? I thought it was because of like, leftist disunity or something. It's my mocking of he term tankie that got my post taken down lmfao.
