"We should not be ashamed of our imperialism. We should be ashamed of its absence. We are a great empire and should act accordingly!" -- Vladimir Solovyov, Putin's propagandist
The problem with this "socialist" tankie fans of Putin is not that they wanna live in #Russia, but rather they wanna make the rest of the world like Russia - authoritarian, imperial, genocidal, just so they can leave their dream in a dictatorship. #Socialism#Communism#Tankies
@sammi seeing people using terms like War Monger next to USA in the context of #Russianagression in #Ukraine is a good way to spot the #kremlin mouthpieces and #propagandists, whether here on Fedi, or other social networks. Congratulations. Hope #tankies like you like living in a #block from now on!
Considerations do not work
They do not work at all
Confederations do not work
My best witness is easy so to call
Orban is a total jerk
A total Jerk is Orban
Only an idiot runs their org w full consent
Full consent is for fools
The EU must expel their caner
Or they will be fascisms tools.
I wanted to try the default mastodon social instance to get the hang of it - and I know there’s all kind of specific-interest ones like for art, music, tech, games, etc. but does anyone out there have some recommendations for other decent, all-purpose ones?
This is how the discussion started. I will not go into that discussion again.
Most of us arrived at the conclusion that we cannot really trust software that was developed by (undisputed) #tankies. (Some people even looked at the code.)
You can find many of the issues in that thread and others in my TL, if you really want to go into detail. As for me, I am waiting for a fork.

Also: Lemmy's programming language seems to be more advanced.
"In [US]America, the supposed land of free speech, we cannot even debate whether or not we should change our own economic system. Anyone who wishes to get rid of capitalism is banned from every institution with any power over our ideas. We do not have academic freedom, or free speech.
In conclusion, if you believe in free speech you owe it to yourself to read what every powerful institution doesn't want you to read. And it isn't conservative hacks who bemoan censorship…" https://archive.ph/z2Cyj#selection-6877.0-7258.0

The campaign’s lack of any audience development despite years of operation, dozens of personnel behind it, and thousands of pieces of content leads some to wonder why China even bothers with the trolling effort.

😂
Why even bother, westerners can troll themselves just fine and #tankies will praise #China and #CCP for free.
Admin of Lemmy instance lemm.ee contemplates defederating from toxic tankie troll instance hexbear.net in community post open for discussion to lemm.ee users.
hexbear users promptly brigade post, heavily trolling any- and everyone who says anything they don’t like for 24 hours, quickly proving every criticism of them true in massive shitshow of toxicity.

Wären "#Linksextreme" auch nur 1% so ein großes Problem wie sich das #NSAfD-Fans vorstellen, #Neonazis wären ausgerottet und #AfD-Mitgliedschaft würde mit lebenslanger Haft + Sicherungsverwahrung bis zur erfolgten #Deradikalisierung bestraft!
Wer rot lackierte Faschos aka. #Tankies als #Linksextrem einstuft disqualifiziert sich selbst...
If any self-described #leftist or #tankie engages in genocide denial like this, we've reached levels of engagement that are equivalent to #Holocaust denial.
When the denial requires adopting even CONFLICTING points, it's just #fascist (if it wasn't already clearly that way before). Here's one such popular tankie saying other people died, and besides it's someone else maybe, and besides other attacks happened.
You'll often see the fascist "grand conspiracy" narrative echoed by these #tankies.
Even #fascists and third-worldist tankies joined arms over Uganda's lethally anti-gay law. One calls it a fight against degeneracy and Marxism, the other calls it a fight against liberal Western, bourgeoisie values.
Same opinion, different words. As if tolerance is exclusive to white people. @liveposting
Amira Mohamed Ali, Fraktionsvorsitzende von DIE LINKE im Bundestag, kandidiert aus politischen Gründen nicht mehr für den Fraktionsvorsitz der Linken im Bundestag.
In ihrer Erklärung schreibt sie u.a., dass die Parteiführung den Kurs der Ampelregierung nicht klar kritisieren würde. Ein Kurs, der "den Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland" gefährde & damit Wohlstand und Arbeitsplätze bedrohe. Es fehle zudem an einem klaren Ja zu internationaler Solidarität.
I wouldn't even share this story if it wasn't for two reasons: (1) I hate the way tankies like to discredit people they disagree with by pointing to their funding sources, so it seems like fair play to point out where they get their own money. And (2) it really seems like Code Pink changed their tune on China.

Unabhängig davon ist es interessant wie schnell hier "#PMKlins" geschrien wird wenn woanders #Rechtsterorrismus geleugnet wird.
Muss daher auch der Kritik am #CSDstuttgart zustimmen:
"Der #CSD dient dazu, die #bürgerlich|e #Demokratie zu schmücken, ohne dabei aber die extreme #Gewalt systematisch anzugehen, der #queer|e Menschen auch heute noch ausgesetzt sind."
#Tankies sind übrigends nicht links, sondern rot-lackierte Faschos!
If the protests in #Belarus had've been successful and chased #Lukashenko out of the country, right now there would be thousands of #tankies screaming about a 'western-backed coup'
Instead they're silent about the fact that #Putin sent reinforcements to help brutalize the population and imprison and torture journalists. And by extension that they wished the same for #Ukraine during the #Maidan revolution
Die NRW-Linke hat sich zum Parteitag getroffen und es war nicht fürchterlich. Das ist ungewöhnlich! Am Anfang deutete alles auf die üblichen Schlammschlachten zwischen linkskonservativen Wagenknecht-Anhängern und der Führung des Landesverbandes hin. Darauf hatte ein Großteil der Partei allerdings keine Lust. So fand ein Arbeitsparteitag statt. Dabei hat die Partei einen ziemlich ambitionierten Antrag zur Verkehrswende beschlossen.
