aeternum,

cares about animal lives

eats fish.

Fish aren't animals?

Draconic_NEO,

It’s almost like they’re trying on purpose to be as inflammatory as possible, I know they’re not and they’re 100% serious which makes it even crazier, I mean this is the kind of shit edge-lord teenagers say, just goes to show just how sad and immature these losers are.

Maddison,

What is Grad?

goat,

It’s a hate instance run by the developers of Lemmy

Maddison,

yeah? do you have a link please? I don’t get it completely, but I guess I want to see it for myself

goat,

You can access all instances by visiting “Instances” at the bottom of each Instance page.

Maddison,

lemmygrad.ml

Wait, are you talking about lemmygrad.ml ? These people are serious right? I take that the people of MeanwhileonGrad community are not marxists but somewhat anti-marxists?

goat,

The people featured in this image are from Hexbear, but they are closely related to lemmygrad. Both Hexbear and Lemmygrad are fully serious

The community here is quite diverse, some users are marxists, some are liberals, neoliberals, environmentalists, etc~

Maddison,

but you all oppose glorifying dictatorships.

I will drink to that :')

erm… not all

goat,

What do you mean?

@darcy@sh.itjust.works avatar

tankies love dictatorships as long as they show some sign of communist value. like north korea or china

goat,

Pretty sure Maddison is talking about the community members here opposing dictators, not tankies.

odium,

They’re saying that the people on this community hate dictatorships.

Reverendender,

We still can’t block instances, can we?

goat,

Not yet, no. I have doubts the lemmy devs want to implement that.

randomperson,

He will be never a real man tho

goat,

What do you mean?

hemko,
manapropos,

I mean compared to all the horrible shit the US has done to other countries 9/11 was like petty thievery

goat,

3,000 people died

Amaltheamannen,

And in response the US killed over a million.

goat,

that’s primarily why i don’t joke about it. imagine the world if 9/11 never happened.

HerbalGamer,

Flying would be a lot more relaxed.

Dirk_Darkly,

Not to mention the attacks were a result of the US meddling in foreign affairs.

manapropos,

The US dropped two nukes on Japan, invaded Vietnam for no reason, instigated coups in a variety of sovereign countries and committed countless other atrocities to sustain the military industrial complex. That’s a lot more than some 3000 deaths

goat,

So you think 3,000 innocent lives deserved it?

macrocephalic,

Do you commemorate all the other atrocities?

goat,

yes

520,

Who the actual fuck was saying that?

They were saying that compared to the damage the US has inflicted on other countries, including innocent civilian populations, the damage done by the 9/11 attacks is much smaller

IWantToFuckSpez,

The same thing can be said about Japan. A lot more people died by the hands of the Japanese Empire during WW2 than those two nukes did.

randomperson,

Tankie brain doesn’t comprehend such stuff

HerbalGamer,

Still, dropped it on two civilian targets.

Imagine Russia taking out LA and NYC; you guys would never let anyone forget that no matter what

Reverendender,

Rape of Nanjing, bro. Rape of Nanjing.

HerbalGamer,

Agreed, not a good thing. Abu Ghraib ring any bells?

See? We can do this all day long but in the end the fact is that these “tactical nukes” weren’t used to take out parts of the command structure, but to vaporise not one but two major civilian population centres.

That's not even fucking close.

but in the end the fact is that these “tactical nukes” weren’t used to take out parts of the command structure,

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both chosen for their military and industrial importance.

HerbalGamer,

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both chosen for their military and industrial importance.

I could probably say the same for San Fransisco if it was chosen.

PugJesus,
PugJesus avatar

You absolutely could. San Fran was a major logistics hub during the Second World War.

HerbalGamer,

And we’d never hear the end of it, yet it’s no big deal when done abroad.

goat,

Are you saying that the West thinks Hiroshima and Nagasaki are no big deal?

PugJesus,
PugJesus avatar

yet it’s no big deal when done abroad.

I see you aren't interested in any serious discussion considering that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are a major event in the American cultural consciousness and still evoke strong reactions even today.

PugJesus,
PugJesus avatar

Oh, good, whataboutism for terrorist attacks by Saudi extremists on unambiguous civilian targets. Guess this is left praxis now.

HipPriest,

I don't think you can really compare terrorist acts on a tit for tat basis. Two wrongs don't make a right. The last 20 years has proved it didn't really achieve much good for anyone ever, just a lot of bullshit.

Like were the people who died in 9/11 directly responsible for the horrible shit their government did? No.

Why was the attack not on a political building anyway?

Sassy,

The Pentagon is a government building. Everyone seems to focus on the towers and forgets American Airlines Flight 77.

Regardless, the point of terrorism is to cause terror, not necessarily to kill people who “deserve” it.

HipPriest,

That's true I did forget the Pentagon building because I'm an idiot

boredtortoise,

For their brand of humor, this one is actually pretty funny (and blatant so it works in text).

But it’s very probable that it will draw comments actually advocating for atrocities

goat,

3,000 people died

boredtortoise,

Yes. It’s a very dark joke but not off-limits.

goat,

It is here

boredtortoise,

Of course.

PugJesus,
PugJesus avatar

I wouldn't disagree normally, except that Hexbear users have a very real chance of believing that 9/11 was in some way deserved. Context quickly sours jokes which are already borderline.

boredtortoise,

Yes, I tried to convey that with the second point

WolfhoundRO,

FBI would have so much work documenting them on domestic terrorist watch list

goat,

Nah these guys are super passive. They won’t ever do anything violent or drastic against the state.

slimjimjohnson69,
Armen12,

God I hate that 40 IQ monkey

Actually that’s an insult to monkeys, who are much more intelligent

JasSmith,

There’s really something for everyone to hate. His faux socialism shtick doesn’t work so well while he whores himself out like the good little capitalist he is.

Aabbcc,

He doesn’t think about you at all

Ilovethebomb,

Imagine how bad this person would be if they went full vegan.

"For life in all its forms"

... except fish, apparently?

Alto,

The fish know what they did

vaalla,

Sex in the drinking water.

nutlink,

Well that explains why the oceans are so salty.

vaultdweller013,

The land animals are pure.

But the fish have sinned!

divineslayer,

Except for the sheep. The sheep lie.
