He's getting his terminology confused with "conservative democrats". But it shouldn't surprise, it is .ml, if you're not left of Stalin you are a genocidal maniac. I'm sure the irony is lost on them

You want irony? I was curious about the context of OP's post and went looking at dessalines's profile, and got distracted before I accomplished the mission because I immediately found:

Murderers don’t get pardoned because other people committed murder.

Dude... pardoning or outright supporting literal murderers because of what someone else did is the entirety of the .ml worldview as far as I can tell.

I’d love to know what medications or drugs that tool is using.

Not really. What we call conservative democrats are simply liberals in the original meaning of that word, which is commonly used outside North America and by a good chunk of leftists. "Liberal" is also more general in that it doesn't capture only Pelosi and her ilk, but most people in American national politics other than maybe Bernie.

it is .ml, if you're not left of Stalin you are a genocidal maniac.

And if you're left of Stalin you're a CIA tool. These people hate anarchists too.

I have found that the word "liberal" has been sufficiently divorced from meaning that it's best avoided at this point.

Generally the role that it plays in the .ml worldview is "I know you're a liberal because you showed approval for (literally any US politics thing), and all liberals tacitly support Israel, so YOU SUPPORT ISRAEL HOW COULD YOU YOU ARE LITERALLY A WEREWOLF ARGHARHJGEBFJHSDBVMSDFBF."

Nowadays for me, the term “liberal” just means not an idiot wannabe-socialist/communist, and not a trump-worshiping minion.

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Most people who would call themselves liberal means they are pro human rights. It's really that simple.

Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia(Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
