Jesus, that thread
Their “anti-Orientalism” (read as pro-tankie) policy has been known for a good while.
Lemmy.ml was always garbage and I blocked almost every community there because most of their posts are about capitalism or landlords
100% this person is a landlord
this really upsetting since they have c/technology and c/privacy communities. Someone might post something like high-tech surveillance of actvtists or Uyghurs
lmao this is from the thread’s OP
Lemmy dot ml is like, one step away from becoming another Lemmygrad.
Lmao one of the top comments
(it takes 2 braincells to realize the CCP is 1984 incarnate).
Fuck these tankies man. I’m as leftist as they come and I HATE what these people are doing to the cause.
They did it, they did the meme unironically!
lol, the reply
1984 was based on the Soviet Union
insight from lemmy.world as always
Read another book besides 1984, Animal Farm and Harry Potter, please
Except russians are russians and they eventualy somehow fuck up everything they touch. God forbid they go full on democracy.
From 0 to racist in 5 seconds
I mean “leftist as they come” maybe they’re ultraleft?
Lmao no we know they’re just bernie bros

More like “I voted for Pete Buttigieg”.
“Leftist as they come” always means “i’m a complete reactionary, but not as openly fascist as the people i hang out with.” It’s basically admitting you’re the Tim Pool for your local chuds.
This is where I learned the word tankies. It sounds like British slang honestly.
“i’m as leftist as they come” means “i am very slightly to the left of the democrats/tories/cdu”
It generally means that they literally just want free shit without putting in any work. Actual Socialists want fair value for their labour.
It generally means that they literally just want free shit without putting in any work.
well things like health care, food and shelter should be free without any requirement of work.
“i’m as leftist as they come”
I saw a post say that unironically, then someone replied with:
Shoutout to @dessalines@lemmy.ml for being based as always, even if he does allow filthy libs on his site.
Check out Dessalines’ Marxism Study Plan
Edit: oh this post is about a different mod, but as an instance admin myself I was scrolling the modlog yesterday and saw Dessalines had removed some of those same articles themselves, putting “no sources” as the reason. I figured there’d be a post about it soon lmao.
