Be mindlessly propagandistic "communist." The countries they fawn over aren't even particularly communist, they're just authoritarian. Russia in particular is run by capitalist oligarchs.
It's just tiresome and pointless engaging with them.
Hi facedeer, you understand that one of the Lemmy.ml instance rules is not being insulting, right?
I don't appreciate being called mindlessly propagandized out of the blue, especially by someone who's certainly heavily propagandized.
Can you help me understand your level of knowledge about Marxism-leninism that you feel comfortable correcting me?
You engaging me makes this a lie. You started barking first.
It's fine to be offended that they called you propagandised, but that doesn't make it less offensive to immediately say the same thing back to them. You are both insulting each other, it's not helping the Lemmygrad situation.
There is no "lemmygrad situation", it's gaslighting lemmy by liberals getting wind in the sails with reddit refugees and attacking us all the time. note this basically didn't happen at all before, they just blocked us and maybe badmouthed in their dens, i don't care, i;m not going there. The arguments we had on lemmy were heated but not resembling current offensive.
I'm not speaking about you specifically, I have no idea who you are. I'm talking about lemmygrad in general. Just like the person you were responding to was talking about. He asked "what did lemmygrad.ml do?" And I'm clarifying that.
It's not that lemmygrad.ml is simply "communist."
This dude is sealioning you, block and move one.
They're not sealioning, they're responding to a bunch of strong, reasonably insulting allegations. Maybe not responding gracefully, but they're not sealioning.
In fact, I don't even think it's possible for one reply to be sealioning, the whole point is that it's repetitive harassment (as stated in the wiki link you posted). That's why the original comic strip that defined it has so many panels.
Now I know why you refused to engage with or debate me on Tiananmen Square thread yesterday. Not very nice behaviour, honestly. Liberals are the most pointless, anti-revolutionary people on political spectrum, honestly. Either they will love the populist status quo that benefits them, or turn to the "protective" conservative/nationalistic ideas to enforce western imperialist status quo. It also sheds light on why conservatives and socialists have so much more intelligence and critical thinking than liberals.
