-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today .

MODERATORS
I find people in general tiresome. They all do this shit to us for some reason or another. Makes it hard not to have hard feelings about the whole thing.
Being against the Uganda anti-homosexuality act doesn't mean you stop supporting anti-imperialist struggle and freeing Africa from the debt system.
I don't know what it is about Russia being a bit more developed and having a capitalist government which has shifted a bit towards nationalization of resources since the collapse of the USSR that makes people think "imperialist predation on this country demands neutrality" whereas the same issue is obvious to them in Africa. Except when it's Ethiopia... man all it takes is Radio War Nerd to be like "fuck these guys" 😩😫😩😩😫 and they have an army of these chumps out of nowhere
Most propagandized people in history fr fr
Fuck you genuinely, I’m so tired of people having to constantly reaffirm how that they still have support for Russia or whatever just so they can avoid getting shamed for being pissed about homophobia wrong.
None of the people you @‘d give a single flying fuck about Biden’s state, they want it gone probably more than you. They’re not the ones trying to claim critical support isn’t enough for a capitalist shithole run by one of the fuckers who dissolved the USSR, a shithole that like all capitalist shitholes literally has only “better than the US” as it’s one redeeming quality. You’re the only one here limited by pragmatism, chasing a dream of solidarity from capitalists that will never come.
I DO support Russia because it’s better than the fucked up, genocidal United States, but my support doesn’t have to extend any further than that. My enemy of my enemy is my friend, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept the fact that they hate entire swathes of people like me and make them outright illegal. They [Edit: meaning, whichever legislators have made homosexuality there illegal] have reactionary beliefs and that is an objective truth.
No one here is more angry at Russia than Africa or whatever, my critical support extends identically to all of those countries, and will stop being critical once they fix those issues. As they probably will once colonialist influence and material pressure from the US fades!
Go fuck yourself. And stop assuming people are idiots just so it conforms to your worldview.
Using the "I'm not mad" emoji I see
They told me to fuck off and die repeatedly after one comment saying we shouldnt throw lgbtq people under the bus to support russia lol
For instance, fake news is fine if it's obvious enough that people can complain about it being unfunny. None of the rules make any sense. That's why this place is going to continue growing at a pace slower than it loses people while transphobia.coding or whatever gets 30,000 users
I'm pretty sure that's actually because we represent a super fringe ideology within the Anglo-sphere that's not likely to have a resurgence anytime soon, not cuz our mod policies aren't airtight
It's a corollary to the issue with trying to ratio a congressperson. Even if you succeed it doesn't do anything.
I don't think we should be making overtures to techbros who are clearly unempathetic in addition to not being materially interested in anti imperialist revolution. like people on the other lemmies. hyper redditors
Okay sorry but this one is a bit hard to parse. Can you like, reiterate with less very online leftist guy posting energy?
well, I mean I could go into my rant where I try and describe what I think represents the labor aristocracy in core countries or in India, like there's a labor aristocracy there that benefits from the sub imperialism very distinctly also, sorry if I don't take any dictation errors and this is hot
Uh, okay, think I kinda got that one
all right, that one's indecipherable give me a second to fix that I'm walking. I don't know what the fuck is Sansui is
Okay this prompts me to ask, what is the writing process that "guys like you" have for comments like these? Cuz you pull out weird ass lingo even seasoned Marxists consider obscure and odd turns of phrases that reference weirdly niche shit, so niche apparently YOU don't even fully understand them. Like are you just googling random shit every 10 seconds that's only vaguely connected to the topic at hand and then just try and shoe horn it into the comment or is this crap all just stuff you half remember via osmosis and you're typing steam of consciousness style?
You actually seem to respond to people unlike the various interactions of BMF so I'm hoping for some insight here.
I mentioned in another random comment this is mostly automatic writing or dictation that I scream while walking around
Regardless of anything else, I don't think this is the most healthy or productive way to post and, genuinely, perhaps log off for a bit a touch grass.
Back to square one then I guess
This one's a tagliner for sure though. Completely incomprehensible
That's the point, it's fine when people dish it out at me as long as there's a general perception of righteous nonsense around it. Keep deflecting then hovering whenever you can't refute a point if you want.
I actually mostly agree with you, was just pointing out you haven't been exactly sweet as peach cobbler in this thread so, yah know, don't be surprised if someone tells you to fuck off.
Oh yeah as far as hostility related to pointing out international pressure against the Russian govt from you all has clearly backfired. Meanwhile our own govts offer nothing other than meaningless aesthetic victories. I didn't mean just related to me also incredibly funny idiom.
Idk you just pop up to say "new site tagline" which I find funny bc it's part of the whole culture here of flip flopping between demanding people take this highly interchangeable medium of communication seriously as a Cool Hangout Space and telling people they are too online
Well fyi I lean pretty hard in the "cool hangout space" direction so don't single me out here. The more serious discussions we have can be informative but let's be honest, none of this shit we don't on this niche forum is likely to ever affect anything in the real world. That includes criticizing Russia for its regressive LGBT policies AND supporting it in its fight against NATO.
Edit: also did you pull a Ulysses's and edit your comment without making it clear which part is an edit? Cuz this is reading differently then when I first saw it.
Who's getting scolded for that here? I see people saying they think the Russian governments treatment of queer people is bad (which it is) and then you scolding them for brining it up.
Your original point about this being a garbage propaganda outlet that OP shouldn't have posted here stands, but seems the story they reported on did actually happen. So... what just not acknowledge it? Or only acknowledge it while also acknowledging that Russia is a force against US hegemony? Cuz if it's the latter that seems like what most people are already doing here.
Okay see you later then
Damn where do you live that regular delis have banh mi's?
Seattle it's not a regular deli it's just one of the good intl district ones
Ooof can't afford it there
No one can. I have actually figured out an exit plan.
It is both of those things, since they are not contradictory. It is a cool hangout space for way too online leftists who need to touch grass. Posting here is fun, but it is not praxis and we should never ever forget that, even if we never ever log off.
Same... people just generally suck.
Sometimes I wish I was a turtle, or a bird. Not worried about some mayo-chugging animal attacking me because penises taste good.
Just vibing in my tree 🌳🐦
