Clearly not a threat to anyone who actually works for money

[-] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 week ago

I don't see any benefit to spreading pictures of the shooter's face

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 1 week ago

Ah. Well, I suppose that's a good point, though I think everyone here has already seen the photos.

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 week ago

if that even is the shooter and not some rando they want to question

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 week ago

It's just a picture of Eric McCormack from Will & Grace. Mistaken identity.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I thought it was Jake Gyllenhaal.

Love her, what a performer

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Don't know. I hope this is a random person and they don't have his face.

[-] 474D@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago

This isn't some forbidden knowledge, he's basically a celebrity at this point. He's all over tik Tok, memes, and other social media

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I'm getting a t-shirt!

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

That's not the shooter's face. The shooter doesn't have a face.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

I don't see any proof this is even the right guy.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

It's already spread. Damage done.

Did the NYPD not have to retract this picture, saying it was not the shooter?

[-] noscere@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

In the end, wasn't the real shooter the friends we made along the way?

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist memes


That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here


Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such


That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.


That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.


The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)


6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.



  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
