No one “worries” about seeing it. It’s that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in, a .ml, about any topic at all, you’ll eventually be hit with “capitalism causes all problems in the universe” or the rest of their standard “I’m 19 and this is deep” tankie talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the instance. It’s exhausting and pointless. No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend capitalism, so it’s just of a constant eye-roll when “I’m an independent thinker! Here’s the same thing we all say!” happens.
Don’t you understand how mypoic a view that it? How dependent it is on you thinking you have an absolute lockdown on ALL ideas there can be, and that anyone who isn’t you is against you? Only a fool would think that everything is split in perfect dualism and that you’re the only one that’s right.
It’s basically the same thing I see from super evangelical family members. If it’s not something they like, it’s “from Satan.” Is that really a behavior you’re trying to emulate? That level of absolutism and rigidity of thought?
FFS, both Lenin and Marx warned you about the dangers of rigid thinking. And here you are, doing exactly that! You’re not even a good Marxist!
You’re taking everything to absurd extremes and assuming I’m something that’s convenient for your weak argument. People posting memes like this are pushing for the lockdown of ideas.
Speaking of taking it to extremes, y’all (or maybe 1 person with 5 accounts, it’s hard to tell) so far in this thread people have reacted to saying “yeah, they’re annoying about how they interact with other people” as: trying to put ideas on lockdown, wanting to silence anyone “left of me,” that I’m actively supporting all existing political structures and capitalism, and then a ton of personal attacks. Because I explained the joke to someone else.
I especially loved that my “hopes are also profoundly stupid.” Ah yes, a response that is classy, high-brow, and I’m fairly sure it’s a direct quote from Lenin at the Zimmerwald Conference (since I have to tell you all, apparently, that was sarcasm).
Seriously, look around here. Y’all are not fun to talk to in general about anything because of this right here. And when someone says it out loud, you happily confirm you’re not fun to talk to and do the thing that the meme is about.
This isn’t about your ideas, it’s about how abrasive and annoying you are to interact with. Look at how many times I’ve had to repeat that, and every time you all immediately jump to “yOu’Re sIlEnCiNg iDeAs!” No, y’all are bad at human-to-human interaction. Without enough self-reflection to even pause and see that’s what was happening from the start.
Did you know the explaining the thing doesn’t mean one endorses the thing? Did you know that explaining the thing isn’t “whining” about it, but, in fact, is explaining the perspective of another person? It’s important to learn about other perspectives, even if you don’t like them.
I find it mildly annoying, but not bad enough to bother blocking anyone.

It’s exhausting and pointless.
This sure sounds like whining. Because that’s all you’re doing. How dare people to your left not immediately kill themselves for your comfort.
Let’s consider the same text with a different context and see if it sounds like something else.
It’s that if you engage with anyone from, or anything to do with, New York, about any topic at all, you’ll eventually be hit with “New York is the greatest city in the world!” or the rest of their standard “Ayyyy, NYC!” New Yorker talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the city. It’s exhausting and pointless.
It’s that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in the Linus Tech Tips Forum, about any topic at all, you’ll eventually be hit with “Linux is better than Windows” or the rest of their standard “Arch is the only distro worth using” Linux talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the forum. It’s exhausting and pointless.
I wrote this as essentially the statistics of interactions, and acknowledging that it will end a conversation about any other topic, no matter how much work one puts into keeping the conversation on topic. It’s just very likely to be how interactions go in my experience. Doesn’t actually bother me one bit, but it does seem like a poor way to go through life.

And the “19 and edgy” thing? Come on. You’re whining because people to your left are allowed to speak and you want permanent silence so you can listen to the fascists on the right.
yeah, it reminds me of college freshmen. You get one idea stuck in your head and lose all sense of nuance or perspective.
are allowed to speak
No, y’all are annoying about HOW you communicate your opinions. Which I’ve repeated several times in this thread and none of you seem able or willing to understand it’s communication style and not the ideas that anyone is talking about here. And it’s just annoying, no one wants to silence you, you can’t even understand that. Y’all are so sensitive that simply calling you out for being abrasive about one thing is some grant attack on your ego and all the “right” ideas in the world and your entire identity. You’re just as bad as any MAGA people can be.
Say anything you want, but I can get “it’s capitalism’s fault!!1!” anywhere. It’s not a unique or special take. That doesn’t 1) make it necessarily true, and 2) convince anyone that maybe it actually is capitalism’s fault. Tell me WHY, in that circumstance, be specific, nuanced, and detailed about why you think capitalism did he bad thing. Maybe listen to Marx about rigidity of thought.
I do not look forward to your response where you make up some BS about me selling stocks to pay for this interaction or something equally untrue and absurd.
And it’s just annoying, no one wants to silence you
Which is why the previous two “tankie” instances have been defederated. And why, once centrists have their way and .ml is defederated, they’re going to pick another instance to designate the “tankie” instance.
You can block the left you don’t want to listen to. Instead, you whine about them because you want them silenced.
My friend, I will say yet again, it’s not about blocking “The Left.” It’s that you can’t talk to other humans about anything at all and not be so abrasive and focused on making anything at all an attack on your beliefs that no one cares about that people don’t invite you over to their place to hang out anymore.
If I wanted this from social media, I would go back on facebook.

Edit: OOOh, seems like I struck a nerve, eh?
When people post comments like yours or memes like the above it really comes off as defending capitalism and the status quo…

Then block them and quit whining that people don’t like exploitation as much as you.
