lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad users verbally fellate contemporary and historical autocratic mass-murderers they deem to be “leftists”, or “great leaders and allies to the cause”, most recently being Vladimir Putin, Xi Jingping, and Kim Jong Un.

They are, in reality, bitch-made invertebrates who don’t even have the arm-strength to lift their Molotov-sippy-cups out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks, let alone form meaningful opinions on economics, political philosophy, or geopolitical reality.

Damn it all. They didn’t disclose how I was supposed to behave during the sign up process.

The downside of anything decentralized is that only community pressure reduces scams.

Yeah it’s a big trick because the ML owners are Tankie scum but they’re also the lead developers and I think the own the page which recommends instances.

New user checking in, did you use the two asterisks or the pound sign?

Pound, check out Markdown syntax somewhere online. There’s a ton of different flavors, but most of the basics (headings/bold/italics/links/etc) are the same.

The asterisks work for italicized characters, but the c-squared(pound) sign didn’t. Maybe cause we’re on different instances?

So, tankies? At first I got attracted by the leftist/communist/socialist branding of the instance, but at the time the concept of fediverse was too complex for me when I first registered there so I deleted my account. I’m glad I did, then lol, supporting Putin, Xi, Kim just because they are “the left” is like supporting Hitler just because he is “the right”.

So I’m 100% on board with most of what you said but… What on earth does ‘bitch-made’ mean? It’s setting off my women-hating red flags.

I googled it and scrolled down and got some garbage about a man raised by women, so I have concerns.

I agree, I don’t particularly care about shitting on Putin or any other world leader, it’s the thinly veiled misogyny/whatever at ‘enemies’ broadly with people gleefully encouraging it which makes me respond negatively

Diva, we disagree on a lot of things, and we agree on others, which makes you (genuinely) so much fun for me to see in a thread.

I just told people on another thread that (because of my trauma background) I don’t feel anger very often, which means I appreciate folks like you (and conversely, maybe, Rusty here) because I see you leap straight to it with abandon.

I guess what I’m saying is, it takes all kinds to make a world, and I’m glad you’re in it.

Bitch-made, in the literal sense, as in “of ill birth from a mangy female dog”.

I have heard it used in common street language where I’m from from both men and women, gay and straight.

I appreciate your vehemence and the vigor with which you make your point, and also agree with your point. I only had issue with that particular insult because in my culture, it does initially read as misogynist. I figured I’d ask if you meant it that way because you probably didn’t.

More of this weird mythological fearmongering. Absolutely nobody on any of those sites believe that Vladimir fucking Putin is a leftist. You are pulling this assertion straight from an uninformed ass.

Ffs. Yes, supporting Russia’s invasion is a step too far. However, there is a valid point to be made regarding the West’s geopolitical maneuvers leading up to the invasion. NATO expanding east after promising not an inch further, supporting regime change in Ukraine, crossing more of Russia’s “red lines,” etc. Again, I want to stress that the invasion is morally reprehensible, but it’s clear why they did it from a geopolitical standpoint.

I have seen evidence to the contrary.

Those wannabe champions of labor are temporarily-inconvenienced-dictators-in-waiting.

The bad part is that they support him, whether or not they consider him a real leftist is less important

I’m gonna show your comment to my wife, and one of my best friends, at whose gay wedding, I will be speaking. Congrats! You’re in the speech! Let’s face it, we all need to laugh more in life, and judging by your reaction, I prefer to do it at your expense.

So please, cry harder, because I need more material!

🫶🏽🥂
