Like it’s only so long until a user there posts a dumbass “Kick Tankies out of Lemmy” meme to try and start shit to get us defedded and hexbears take the bait immediately and pile on to tell them what a dumbass they are.
Like as dumb as the “death to NATO” being compared to “death to the people of NATO” stuff was, blahaj and hexbear are the largest queer instances and I quite like taking part in it and their trans communities, idk it’s kinda nice to interact with people who don’t have the same kind of hexbear brainrot where I see the words “pumpkin spice”, “Maoist cult”, “Soyfacing PMC radlib” or “rock stacking” and immediately start to go :sus: mentally, it feels refreshing to be able to talk to an incredibly queer positive community that doesn’t have the same kind of internet poisoning as all of us. And it seems kind of assholy that some of the users here just don’t give a shit and want to post and dunk until we get defedded by every instance, this isn’t like lemmy.ca where they were all dicks that none of us liked anyway and were complaining about us doing hate speech against fucking landlords or lemm.ee where almost every time time a user from there pops their head into our threads here they say something racist or transphobic. iirc blahaj.zone was actually the second most requested instance to federate with in the pre federation discussions due to how good of a queer space it was.
Like their first defed thread was a complete embarrassment because there were a load of users there that actually had positive opinions towards us and then they saw the shitshow happening once from the post reaching active and changed to be way against us which tbh, fair enough.
Edit:
statements from the head mod Ada:
their banner image literally says “fuck tankies”
and rightly so.
fuck authoritarianism, fuck hierarchies and fuck commie cops
no gods, no masters. the only way forward.
MY WAY IS THE ONLY WAY
^ THIS IS NOT AN AUTHORITARIAN STATEMENT
ik i’m crazy wanting liberation for all sentient beings and an end to oppression
We need to oppress the oppressors tho
that makes you no better than them
You: “I can’t tell the difference between these two groups, they are exactly the same, if you punch a Nazi that makes you no better than them”
AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
holy shit one of you is actually this stupid! i seriously thought this was just a meme, oh my fucking god you are dumber than dogshit and half as charming
If I put Bezos in jail I am no better than Bezos, you say? Very leftist of you.
Reality isn’t a superhero movie, if you want to combat systems that oppress people you need to be practical and make sure that the people enforcing the oppressive systems can’t just undermine you and re-establish them, an outcome that has actually happened in places like Chile in the 1970s
Yeah it does lmao
Omfg
right, so let’s go build the material conditions for this to be possible!
let’s call this process hmmm socialism, or something
Ok, so define it first. Bonus points if you don’t consult the state department.
The UK is currently run by an unelected, unopposed dictatorial tyrant with no mandate. Just something to think about while you try and invent a definition.
How do you intend to organise?
I don’t see the People’s Police running protestors over or shooting minorities on the regular.
let’s have a look at your wonderful communist china
social credit system and total surveillance. One wrong word and you’re boned.
the people’s police? You mean like Tianenmen Square?
And what about your wonderful communist utopia of Russia? Raping ukrainian children?
NYPD filmed running over BLM protestors for no reason vs Full Footage of Tank Man incident showing that twelve tanks stop for one man and are patient and permissive enough to allow him to climb onto their tanks
More info here
Our theory is that the tank commander was the guy’s son and Tank Man was asking him what he wanted for dinner.
You know there are actually people living in China, including foreigners, and you can ask them about the “social credit score” right? And they all say they’ve never heard of it. On Baidu they actually joke about it because westerners think it actually exists. You can even ask them any other question about China you want! You don’t have to limit yourself to one topic!
OP explicitly said
You don’t get the bonus points. In fact, you get points deducted.
Liberal can’t read, knows nothing with extreme confidence.
Go away. We don’t have to be nice to you here.
“I uncritically believe all the propaganda the state department shovels in to my little piggie maw, because unquestioning acceptance of everything the US State Department says is the core of Anarchism”
There are many many Anarchist critiques of the behavior of the AES states. Well founded, valid arguments that need to be considered. State Department propaganda is not on that list, and you’re an embarrassment to everyone who has fought and died for Anarchist causes.
