the dude trying not to shit
My curiosity is piqued, mind giving a link?
The other day, I saw an A-list Hollywood actress going around Lemmy shitposting and promoting her latest movie on Lemmy.
She's obviously very talented and very hot and deserves to finally get an Oscar this year, but I would say it's pretty bizzare.
Also she's now the top mod of !android@lemmy.world for some reason.
You know, come to think of it, how do we know you're the real Spider-man and not some imposter?
Wait is this some sort of joke I'm not privy to? That's not actually Margot Robbie right? I can never tell what's real on the internet nowadays.
Of course I am, why would Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie go on the Internet to lie to you? Because she thinks messing with a bunch of tech people on a niche forum is hilarious?
That would be pretty bizarre.

Self referencing meme accounts were something I hoped we'd be leaving behind on Reddit.

As a gay guy, Margot is pretty hot, but she's no Robert De Niro.
Ahem. That's Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you.
It's because of De Niro's 2 Oscars, right? 😭

A dude asking how to remove a cock ring on the lemmy.world support page
So did he ever get it off
Post was removed before we knew.
I mean, I'm guessing he got it off before he realised it was stuck.
Leftists claiming Stalin was right wing.
I'd take them over the ones that think Stalin was a good guy any day tbh
Leftists who think, if I don't subscribe to their narrow, personal definition of leftism, I must be an epistemically evil conservative maniac with no middle ground whatsoever.

It's an oversimplified anarchist talking point against authoritarianism and the state. It's noting the similarities between conservative talking points and auth-left socialist rhetoric. Basically, almost everything you criticize about capitalism can be applied to the state. And defenses for the state from auth-left socialists sounds an awful lot like right wing talking points in defense of capitalism/imperialism/insertotherismhere. Not to mention, the USSR was pretty socially conservative and that's a big mark against them imo. Liberatory politics should liberate people, after all
I can sort of see where they’re coming from, if they’re equating authoritarianism to conservatism and libertarianism to liberalism. But in reality, Stalin was a left wing authoritarian.
If we look at the rhetoric, the soviet state was certainly left wing, but the main policy was state capitalism. To my mind, state capitalism is not a right wing (favors private control of industry) nor a left wing (favors worker control of industry) policy.
This is definitely a case where pure left/right dichotomy doesn't serve to accurately describe the situation on the ground.

Makes me wonder why we even still have wings. Nobody can seem to define them adequately.
Horseshoe theory.
TIL this is actually a thing and I'm not just an idiot speaking out of my ass (this time).

They probably mistook right wing for auth

The guy who designed the Debian logo showed up
Your Username
Also usernames that are just emojis. That's just so odd. I'm not even sure how to think of their username in terms of pronouncing it.
I pronounce it as "that guy with the emojis as a username"
