These people cannot fix any issues that plague their communities, so instead they want to control and micromanage a bunch of teens.

Classic shitty adult.

The sad part is that they arent… this is just how their brains are.

snek, 2 days ago

Yep!

They have to have some Satan figure, a bunch of people who they can blame societal woes on. Even better if they are a minority so they have little power to resist as they deny them healthcare, councling, or emergency housing. Instead, they want these kids tamed and “forced straight”, shifting freedom away from these kids to empower traditional family values of control.

On top of that, winning the culture wars sounds cringe but is integral to maintaining their system.

Yep. That’s exactly like every AI system employed by the IDF.

Calling people human shields because they are in their own home as a pretense to bomb them is a war crime.

If a terrorist holds a baby, do you shoot the baby? Well, Israel would be ready to shoot a handful just to kill one person slightly affiliated with Hamas*.

I thought about making them in cronological order for a few cases. I thibk it fits well with the assasination of Shireen Abu Aqleh.

She was a very brave teen. Fuck the Iranian regime.

In Sweden, there are cracks in the system, especially if you are homeless but an illegal immigrant or from Romania (a common example). There are services but a big hurdle is having to have a legal personnummer or coordination number (though I’m told that doesn’t work for everything). In student towns, lots of homelessness is also among students. It’s even more difficult if you are a drug user. A lot of times the only shelters in the area are offered by churches and non profits which don’t have a large capacity and serve on a first-come-first-get basis.

I wish they would expand this to cover more vulnerable groups. I would love to see Housing First applied in Sweden. Since the recent inflation crisis, I notice more homeless people.

So which communities in the ml instance have such views?

snek, 14 days ago

If you make a claim about tankies but never back but beyond the claim of personal experinece, then you at least owe it to yourself to understand that you may be wrong.

A collection of posts, perhaps already deleted and in the mod log? Any users you have personally seen and reported simping for China that the mods continue to have around anyway? Mod policies publicly making this okay? A meme page in love with toltalitarianism?

It doesn’t have to be a scientific study… just any kind of evidence other than “trust me bro”.

Don’t ignore your eyes, but also don’t be so damn pretentious. Show us what you are seeing.

Before I give any criteria, let’s discuss this:

If you have dug them up N times, just paste them here? No? Just a whole dump of everything you got or an old comment would do.

Your reply implies I would readily dismiss the evidence… is there any reason you believe that?

You are wasting everyone else’s time by making claims you can’t back up. I am saying this as someone who hates any authoritarian regime and will do anything to avoid it becoming a reality. We both hate tankies.

Seems like lots of people in the comment section are also talking about what their eyes are seeing and it contradicts your claim. So whose eyes shall we trust?

From my limited and personal experience of the .ml instance, I don’t see any of this happening, just lots of tankie-boogyman rhetoric. But my observations are not enough to make a conclusion. And neither are yours. That’s why we need to back it up with evidence. Do you have any indication of any communities on .ml where the mods let this happen openly? If so, please link it.

snek, 13 days ago

Thanks for the links. I will read them.

But man, fuck that tone of yours, it sucks.

snek, 13 days ago

As I said, your tone sucks ass.

I am expecting a normal amount of decency. I understand it’s hard when you assume EVERYONE is up against you. I would drop that of I were you.

So when you say .ml instances, you mean lemmygrad specifically? I am asking because my understanding is that .ml is just a domain extension.

So are you thinking that tankies are using .ml as some kind of code? Or do you mean specific instances that happen to share the .ml domain extension?

snek, 13 days ago

Right okay. I was not aware that there are only two… and I think .ml is general use. If anything I thought it was short for machine learning, like .io is short for input/output.

snek, 13 days ago

You are not going to like this…

Some of these are memes. Some ard discussions. I see the point in a few. Have you tried reporting them?

snek, 13 days ago

I see! Thanks for explaining.

snek, 13 days ago

I agree that some are good examples. I think some are exaggerated but I’ll ignore those.

The overwhelming majority of them are from hexbear finding their way to lemmy.ml. I honestly gotta check who is defederated from who. If we defederate from lemmy.ml, we’d get rid of those but we would be losing a ton of content in communities where there are no insane extremists. What do you think what the best solution would be? I wonder if speaking to lemmy.ml mods about it could help.

snek, 13 days ago

Yeah the intro to that Tankie video that person you linked to had posted… jesus.

I think your solution is reasonable and preferable to me tbh.

snek, 18 days ago

Seems to me that the problem is bankers. Not the average Joe

snek, 16 days ago

I think you misread Swedish law and are (on purpose?) misreading what happened at Google. I have nothing more to say other than the above in my previous comments. Have a nice day.
