“You are evil because you stand for [thing you don’t stand for]!”
“Authoritarianism”
“You have no principles! You just side with a team!”
“[Invents shit out of their ass]”
Like girl, do you work at a cinema because you do make quite the projector. Like daaaamn.
The lemmy.blahaj.zone instance is even more annoying to browse than back on reddit because something (we know it’s lemmygrad) made their anticom tendencies spike.
Don’t they think, like even once, why is it that trans positive, lgbt, lefty and anticapitalist memes attract tankies? Not even a hint of retrospection on why they find more of us than rightoids?
I just want the memes without being told that I’m supposedly a person that I’m not. Bruh.
Annoying.
(PS: I can’t read chinese xddddddddddd, I just like the crab. He’s funny and is chuffing a fat dart, and it’s all that matters)
That would require a critical look at their own positions and ours, which they’re unable to do.
Name a single capitalist country that isn’t also authoritarian. Like fuck…
E: I just read through the comments. I guess I gotta go tell literally everyone on my private commie discord that they are out of the club because they are all LGBT+. You know, Because the West is a bastion for homosexuality. I guess I gotta break it to them that they are all libs since they are gay.
“Someone further down in this thread posted a link to an essay of dessaline’s (a lemmy dev and admin of lemmy.ml) full-on denying the Uyghur genocide.”
They post this like it’s some big gotcha. Their supposed genocide that somehow nobody in a country of over a billion people has anything more than “trust me bro” prove of and countless independent parties have confirmed isn’t happening.
It is to them though. The only genocide libs can name is the holocaust, so they assume that “genocide denial” is exactly the same as holocaust denial. It is this strange kind of thought process:
There is a lot of evidence for the holocaust, but people deny it. Those people are clearly wrong and horrible Because they deny genocide.
People deny the “Wegear” or “Unger” genocide, they are clearly wrong and horrible because they deny a genocide. Therefore, there is a lot of evidence for the Yogurt genocide, because the other genocide (the only other genocide) has a lot of evidence and is denied.
The “denial” of a genocide is taken as evidence that the genocide has a lot of evidence, and in turn, anyone who “denies” it is clearly a bad person who is to be dismissed out of hand without thinking about anything they have to say.
You know it’s weird how sometimes making huge accusations means you’re put under less scrutiny, not more. I think when there’s a lot at stake, people tend to pick the side that doesn’t rock the boat. Regardless of whatever evidence
I mean, I really doubt that many people are gonna take a stand against their government, their media, and their friends, family, and coworkers over a topic that has little bearing over their day-to-day life. Especially when it means they’re gonna get ostracized/fired.
since the west is leading the charge in embracing the queer community
this is one of the most painful things i think i’ve had to read in my life please tell me how america, where most states have laws banning access to gender affirming care and trans people are murdered daily, is “leading the charge” in embracing the queer community
This hurts to read.
