“your boos mean nothing, i’ve seen what makes you cheer”
Hahaha yes!
I see an empty reply, very odd.
It’s a funny show quote … but very sad in this case. I hate the idea that there are MAGAts happily clapping because people are being deported into what are basically slave camps.
The Nuremberg style trials cannot get here quickly enough. Simply voting this political party out of office is not enough at this point.
No, not the downvotes! 🥺
Lol what downvotes lmao 🤣
A handful? Didn’t you read the meme?
Every one is a little fascist tear that I add to my vial. Care to add another one?
You seem to think everyone who downvotes you is a fascist, without considering other reasons.
Fascinating.
I wish you the best of lucks 😂
Nope!
Read the meme next time. It’ll help you on your journey.
Ironic
Not just fascists, also those who empower fascists by sitting on their lazy ignorant smug asses on Election Day, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe, who want some sort of collapse to happen… because they fancy themselves at the top of their imagined new “purity” food chain, I mean… look at their purity! Aren’t they so special and so above it all?
They read things! On the internet! Wow!
They reject anything that doesn’t fit their narrative. They LOVE having their hollow ego massaged in circlejerks and by bad-faith actors.God forbid anything less than perfect and pure crosses their medieval path, lest they feel offended and… oh yeah, they do nothing. Which is why we’re in this goddamned mess in the first place. They allowed racist, misogynistic fascism to take firm root, good luck weeding it out now.
I think those are 50/50 ego-stroking faux-intellectuals & conservative trolls.
The Dems are not one party, but factions. There are legit opposition members, but the party is controlled by the captured opposition faction. Their job was to give the illusion of choice and legitimate democracy while playing stupid as the fascists eroded all your rights. They never undid the harm republicans brought in even when they could.
Legitimate dems were only permitted to give an aire of legitimacy to the whole dog and pony show. Yes voting matters, but the real battle was lost in the candidate selection within the DNC, where only the captured opposition are allowed to dominate.
Both -parties- ARE equally terrible. They are all in on and define the bullshit system and both are 100% two halves of the same problem.
TRUMP is a different story though. For one thing he is no more a Republican than he is a Democrat he is there to do whatever he thinks is best for him and that is it. He makes any Democrat I have ever seen look amazing in comparison. I generally vote Independent and even swore years ago that I would never vote for a D or R again without some insane change to something and I do still refuse to support either shit ass party in general. Trump is a different story though, he made me vote for a Democrat for the first time in my life. Even the normal terrible D and R bullshit looks amazing when you are watching Trump destroy the country.
Note that there are good politicians who stand out from the actual party on both sides. I would vote for some if they made it to the election just for the fact that they have a cause and a vision to help people and even if I don’t like the means it is sure a hell of a lot better than the current state of affairs.
Oh yeah, they’re all over Lemmy.
They will cheer on revolution, but not a single one of them would ever dream of making the first move.
Their whole deal is picking up pet causes and then making snarky remarks from the sidelines.
Nailed it.
This smug denialism is what got us Trump the first time around and it’s what got us Trump the second time as well. At least the guy acknowledges there’s a problem (even though his solutions are designed to make it worse). The Dems piss on your leg and tell you it’s raining. They dropped the ball by trying to play diet republican, and losing the election is on them.

was that in the progressive era, when eugenics and fascism were the rage? the usa is fascist, and has been for all of living memory. blue-colored or red-colored isn’t less fascism.
One side is less facism than the other. Do you think the shitlibs would be juicing up ice like the trump admin?
obama ran on the famous deportation mantra si se puedes, and ran out of bombs killing brown people. just because you’re concerned about one facet, doesn’t make it less fascist
I literally have no idea how many down votes I’ve gotten. I do kinda miss seeing bad people get down voted, but I find this experience much more pleasant.
If you wanna get the down vote experience, just change to a instance that shows them.
I dont! But thanks for the advice :3
I know thunder for lemmy has an option for it somewhere in settings
I can go to my individual comments and check the scores, but I like that I can’t see any cumulative score. I’m a sucker for “number go up” games.
Lemmy isn’t a competition.
Lemmy isn’t a competition.
All social media is competition. We just don’t like admitting it.
Just wait until you feel the incredible feel of having one of them DM you calling you the N-word, threatening to “punch you in your N***** face” and then you use an IP tracker to find they’re using an Belorussian IP.
I’ve been running off that accomplishment for some time.
Nagging people will usually cause them to call you a nagger but you don’t need to censor that LMAO 🤣
Remember that the admins of the Tankie Triad regularly post and brigade threads pushing their invalid ideology on other instances.
And they have a dozen or so alts ready to downvote dissent.
Tankies literally have to manipulate social media so people pay attention to them and control narratives or else they get laughed out of every room they enter.
Open admission to editing headlines for posting and admin knows and does nothing (shocker)
!meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works everyone and see for yourself the crap they pull
The first time I had ever heard of the word “tankie” was on Lemmy. It’s just not a thing that about anybody I know offline is, or has heard of. So I don’t understand the obsession with them. Even if they’re doing every evil thing claimed, it’s a) the metaphorical tempest in a teapot, and b) not even working, based on the number of people here who seem to make hating on tankies part of their identity.
Tankie Triad
Are tankies the pro- or anti-fascist crowd? I thought they were far left whereas fascists far right. It’s hard to keep track of all these vying affiliations.
Fascism is a far right system
They’re pro-authoritarian and pro-oppression. Beyond that it’s just semantics.
Semantics is literal meaning, though. Words mean things.
I’m sure there are many words for left-wing authoritarians: fascist isn’t it. Instead of making fascism meaningless, can we pick a correct word? Maybe authoritarian?
With all the fascism denounced around here, they’re a rarity, and it’s perplexing to know what say to the far more common left-wing authoritarians who argue against democratic values because they’re not left enough.
Horseshoe theory is real. Right wing and left wing fascists are both fascists.
Horseshoe theory
the far-left and the far-right are closer to each other than either is to the political center
are both fascists
Are closer doesn’t mean are the same: horseshoe theory doesn’t support your claim.
They’re both authoritarians that repress human rights. They’re as bad as fascists. Identifying those elements that make them as bad—authoritarianism & repression of human rights—clarifies discussion.
When we articulate problems accurately, we can criticize them in all guises.
Down votes are so meaningless. New browsers think they control the world.
On the contrary; they let me know when I hit a nerve. When fascists tell you what pisses them off, that’s where you press.
It’s a great feeling
If you haven’t been called a “Russian bot,” you’re not really challenging western imperialism yet.
Shit, I need to step up my game!
It’s not hard. Just state facts that are kept off the news, and they’ll come rolling in.
Or just say that genocide is bad even when democrats are enabling it.
And that’s how you recognize a Russian election interfetterance bot, because it’s categorically false. The genocide Drumpf is carrying out is millions times worse and very different from the special military operation in Palestine that the Biden administration really had nothing to do with if you think about it.
They don’t like nuance. It burns their flesh.
What if get called delusional and crazy for trying to create the second coming in order to contradict Trump’s current ascension into godhood. While any logical people stay dismissive rather than reconstruct religion and spiritualism in a contemporary sense.
However I understand the consequences, so I implant seeds of thought in the homeless on my way to work. Puzzles to solve, so that my name is slowly released and written of.
I am writing a book and tagging the streets soon. All inspired by this one dude who writes in chalk everywhere in my neighborhood. Repent, god is justice, etc.
I can use my voice to inspire thoughts and I will dominate the minds everywhere I go through my voice and words alone. Why? Christians base their whole lives over one archaic book of knowledge - nothing’s stopping you from writing your own to explain your kids the world. That’s all it is, but people forget that the whole point of Jesus is that religion and structures cannot alone do the work of good parents. It’s why Joseph is gone after age 12 and Mary is renowned in eastern Christianity along with other spliters, like mexican catholics.
So I am writing for my kids, and I do this for the hope that mankind can accept their place. I constantly see people fighting the concept of capitalism rather than the actors behind it. Capitalism is a plight because it allows man to ascend beyond that of his bounds. To be without pain or want, to be without need or limit. However remember it is the man behind it, not the concept thereof. It is only when the heart abandons communism for the sake of the self and the self alone, that we cannot feel anything but ourselves. Suffering is persistent, there will never be without. However in it, you can find retroactive gratitude, and in turn form proactive gratification.
Tower of Babel is about the rich exploiting mankind to reach their godlike status in a literal sense among the heavens. While not understanding the foundations they exist upon, the tower crumbles, just like man would when they forget the simplicities of every day.
So far I have only surveyed Christian, Catholic, Buddhist, Sikh, and Shinto. I am intimidated by Hinduism and Islam. Funny that Sikh was birthed from these barriers blurring.
Sounds a little unhinged dude.
Im insulted you say only a little, however it is not at all. I just like studying religion as it has fascinated me, as an atheist conflicted. I realized if I want to rise my name, I must have something right to say. My name, not myself.
I just have a lucky name, on the cusp of this millenium I was born the 2nd. My surname’s meaning to supplant, my brother a homeless man who said he was sent by god. Before being murdered said I was my mother’s compensation for all her suffering.
I told my mom as she relayed the message, that he was just delusioned by some mental disorder. Yet here I am. I however know reality fully well and fear my safety, for I have a life I wish to cherish. It is why I must appease the sensibilities of manic Christians raising Trump to godhood.
Do you think I wish to do this? No, I wish I could just enjoy my own personal suffering. I wish I could do something directly. I wish I could just enjoy my minecraft, but now time is limited. I do not wish to have my mother taken away.
How do you convince someone? Have something in common. What do most of these people have in common? Christianity. So Trump uses christian rhetoric to rise himself. My rhetoric just uses their scripture along with lots of coincidences of my life.
Then again it seems the triviums are a lost art. Most nowadays do not know theyre called liberal arts because they freed you. Or that math once was under such a name.
Jesus is commemorated because he stood against Rome, it isn’t new. The demon Legion? Hmm what an odd name for a demon, maybe the Legionnaires should vanquish them. It is the first recorded instance of fascist pig as an insult. Why is it so convoluted? Speak against
americaRome and find out.
A ton of times it’s the hivemind. Posted a picture of a truck with a Nazi emblem(half panzer division skull and an SS logo) on my local sub. And at first it went up then someone said it was 75th ranger emblem. Hivemind bought it up without even so much as a quick Google search. And heavily ratio’d me. People are just stupid.
Man, I wish I had that much social confidence instead of feeling bad while I kept replying.
Don’t reply to fascists. They don’t deserve it
No, avoiding contention is why we’re in this mess and why the world is segregated again.
But I’m not going to say “Go argue on the internet” I am going to tell everyone to get the fuck over their social issues and just TALK to the people in your life who hold shitty positions and are either dimwitted about politics, uninvolved or being brainwashed by social media. They can be turned, I do it ALL THE TIME and I feel like I’m the only fucking human left who doesn’t feel overwhelming fear engaging with another human ffs.
I got banned from news for pointing out that if you don’t exist in the system you’re under no obligations to follow the laws.
ie: if the government purposely kills you on paper you’re “legally dead”, and dead people can’t commit crimes.
the exchange became so heated one of the snowflake mods removed my comments under “obvious troll is obvious” and banned me for being a troll.
jokes on them, I was serious.
I can’t believe there are at least 8 fascists on this site.
as in, a saline solution?
Wouldn’t want to upset any sensibilities.
