lmao, I checked my last month of posts in this community, let’s go over them, shall we?

For those who are wondering but don’t want to go down through, it’s 1/18 pro-Biden posts, in the past 30 days. How strange that a tankie would make such an easily disproven lie! Totally unheard of! /s

1. Anti-genocide (this one)

2. “Based leftist president tells coup leader to fuck off”

3. Pro-ranked choice

4. “SCOTUS is fucked”

5. “FORM UNIONS”

6. “Fetishization of Russian politics is incredibly transparent and you shouldn’t fall for it”

7. Anti Ukrainian genocide

8. Anti Ukrainian genocide

9. An ACTUAL pro-Biden post [That’s 1 so far, for those counting]

10. “Trump speaks like a particularly troubled third grader”

11. “Capitalism is fucked”

12. “Trump speaking on history is fucking bizarre”

13. “Not everything bad is fascism; some things are bad but NOT fascism”

14. Criticism of China’s anti-LGBT policies

15. Anti-genocide

16. “Why do right-wingers always have anime profile pics”

17. “Reagan was a shitbag”

18. “MAGA doesn’t know what socialism is”

You have fun peddling immigration bullshite that no economist, sociologist, or policy wonk takes seriously, but is wildly popular for some strange and entirely unknown reason amongst the alt-right.

Rando I think

“Just numbers” in the same way Ben Shapiro saying “Facts don’t care about your feelings” has any validity - ie in the abstract, but not in context. But hey, if you’re convinced because “One gumball small, many gumballs LARGE”, God forbid I be the one to break you of your happy, simplified world.

For the Soviets in Poland

Pre-WW2 if you have an interest

For the Nazis lesser-known crimes

What the ever-loving fuck is that absolutely inane dogshite?

I can see why they turned comments off. You really buy into that? Like, that’s the kind of thing my youth pastor in an evangelical church would’ve shown to all the kids when I was in 6th grade. “The GLOBALIST ELITE are TRICKING US into TAKING IN IMMIGRANTS who DESTROY OUR GOOD GODLY GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS (that we also want to defund for the poor, but ignore that for now)”

After stalling just long enough to make it a problem that won’t be resolved before the election. Wonderful.

What a shitty situation we’re in where this is ‘good’ news. 70%+ of Americans have forgotten what’s inscribed on Lady Liberty’s base. Give me your tired, your poor…

Any other situation, I would say that this is terrible news. Our immigration system is fucking broken, and if putting extra weight on the break makes it more noticeable, than put the fucking weight on it. Not to mention the moral duty to provide refuge for those fleeing any kind of circumstance.

But we’re also staring down a double-barrel shotgun of fucking fascism at the moment, so the opinions of our 70% of ‘very concerned individuals’ have to fucking matter in policy choices.

God, I hate humanity some days.

I would probably take a closer and more critical look at their statements if I saw someone using some of the more distinctively tankie lingo, but that wouldn’t be worth a ban or a warning or any sort of action.

“Stalin’s big spoon” and other such euphemistic jokes excluded. Those are definitely worth a ban, fuck ‘I was just joking’ about genocide denial shite.

Yes

Sharply more Americans than 20 years ago say antisemitism is a very serious problem, as Jewish Americans’ reports of poor treatment exceed those of other faith groups.

This is very deeply concerning, especially since Jewish-Americans, statistically speaking, are more likely to be friendly to the Palestinian cause and critical of the Israeli government than non-Jewish Americans. It suggests that there’s more than just the element of “CRITICISM OF ISRAEL IS ANTISEMITISM” peddled by Israeli simps.

In my experience, moderation rules for unpaid volunteer mods are worthless except as a guideline to users as to what to do or not to do.

The purpose of rule of law in real life is to ensure adherence to it by overlapping systems and oversight. As most moderation groups don’t have overlapping systems or oversight, and sometimes don’t even communicate with each other when taking action, strict ‘rules-based’ moderation pretty invariably turns into “moderator roulette” as each mod interprets the rules differently and prejudicially without any mechanism for being called out on it or corrected. So, you know, no different than ‘rule by leader’ other than the potential of abuse of the proclaimed rules-based system by bad faith actors.

Especially since many moderation teams ‘close ranks’ or blow it off if any of their’s is accused of wrongdoing.

Had a mostly good experience with mods on Lemmy so far, though. I’ve stayed far away from .ml, so that might have something to do with it.

The joke is that a 20 is a ‘critical’. However, the rules as written (though I’ve never actually played in a group that uses this rule), you have to roll a second time to ‘confirm’ a crit.

The joke here, then, is that I was close to having ‘critical’ thinking, but I missed it, so now One Side Good, Other Side Bad.

Please elaborate on this.

Things like “The Yankee Dogs™ forced North Korea to adopt Juche” or “Soviet secret police torturing people to extract confessions for execution were just acting in self-defense against the bourgeois pigs!”

Things that are both vile and untrue, but don’t relate to a singular factual statement (unlike, say, “The Soviets didn’t commit the Katyn Massacre”, which would be vile and untrue AND relate to a singular factual statement)

Oh, so they nerfed the chances of it proccing?

“It’s not politics, it’s just Common Sense™ to want a 0% tax rate for the ultrawealthy and serfdom contracts for the poor!”

They still show up on this community every once in a while to peddle their propaganda, especially on pictures about the Soviets. I generally permaban them if they say anything suss or that veers into outright genocide denial.

A vendetta!
