Lol looks like .ml got a "fresh" recruit!

Yes, for example, me an anarcho-communist who thinks western governments are generally terrible. But ALSO thinks that governments like Russia and China are absolutely terrible and committing different forms of genocide, am definitely on a CIA payroll right? That only makes sense?
- This from the group who's intellectual ancestors shot at leftists like you and me before they shot the Czar.
  "'Tankie' is just a slur for people you don't like". No, it's a term for people that have a definition of imperialism so bad that it doesn't cover the Soviet Union literally driving tanks into another country.
  
  Yeah… Reading Orwell’s hommage to Catalonia was illuminating to me.
  Really made me realise those “tankies” would probably shoot me if they got the chance. As always:
- Literally, us anti communist communists are the worst aren't we?
  Tune in next week folks, to see if the campist tankies solve the mystery of who shat "our" pants.
- Pft, classic CIA whataboutism /s
- Truth. Getting told I'm and anti-communist because I think the uyghur genocide happened is annoying, to say the least.
- Imagine being this BASED
- I'm not sure which government i'd find the least shit. Probably somewhere like denmark maybe? Somewhere high on the freedom index.
  
  Having lived much of my life in those European countries that are romanticised (Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Netherlands)…
  I really think they are terrible. Like they are obviously better than Putin’s Russia or Trump’s America. But they are still really bad.
  I don’t think I can have a favourite government. I don’t know enough about the country for this to be a serious answer, but perhaps something like Costa Rica.
- This is not an authorised opinion. Please contact your closest democracy officer and ask for a free reeducation referal code.
- me an anarcho-communist
  Sorry to hear that, hope for a swift recovery
  
  You seem like a sad person
  
  You're on the main anarchist instance.

Umm first off, you’re an intern, you don’t get paid. Second, I sent you for coffee like 3 hours ago and you still haven’t dropped it off at my desk.
- Thirdly, Doge called and they want to know exactly what you’ve been doing this week.
  
  Remember: our coffee orders are classified, so you'll have to find something else to tell them.

A anti
Homie should take a break from pretending to read theory and read a book about grammar
- Trolling is a art.
  
  But why is it called the Xbox 360?
- “A book?” Jeez, take a hard look in the mirror, friend! It’s obviously “an book.”

I am also still waiting for my Soros bucks, let alone my my CIA paycheck
- They're really slow at mailing the protest payment checks.
  
  Go figure, the government moving slowly. GAH

Remember how russia got completely surprised by Ukraine's collectivism and national identity?
Yeah, if one does actual psyops and mass propaganda at national level, you can present and see your enemy through a similar mindset (yes, goes for usa and china bs as well).
The most hilarious thing was a circlejerk convincing dummies there is a grassroot movement between polish kids in being interested in russia, the language and communism.
removed gtfo. Any kid who would get caught with this shit would get smacked in the head at light speed. Yes, there is such thing. But ran by russian troll farms. What was proven by journalists, ngos as well as eu intel agencies.
Of course the most legitimate account is PolandIsAStateOf... Whoever is running that account does not use polish ever.
- I mean, my mom learnt some russian and some german but i doubt it was because of communism. This was like 1980s ish tho. Not sure exactly when.

I had some mouth breathing chuds on Discord accuse me of being a CIA psyop because I didn’t want to play a game with EAC (a specific kind of kernel level anticheat) yes, being anti spyware makes me a spook, cmon guys are you even trying 🙄
- eac on linux is userspace only
  regardless, kernel level ac isn't a solution. DMA is a thing and is piss easy to bypass.
  
  eac on linux is userspace only
  It also is largely unsupported by games. I'm fine playing EAC games on Linux, not fine playing EAC games that don't work on Linux.

Liberalism is a conservative ideology, so yeah, it would make sense that the most liberal instance out there is opposed to communism. I wouldn’t call it a psyop though, instead I would say it’s Neo Reddit. Just a bunch of liberals all circlejerking each other over Wall Street and war crimes.
- This hurt my brain. In my head liberalism is right of center, where as conservatism is center right, followed by fascism on the far right. I don't know if this is accurate but, it's my interpretation of the political spectrum.
  
  I’m assuming you’re American? In any other country, the American Democratic party would be considered conservatives. If you compared them to the UK, for example, they share similar policies with the Tories.
  American politicians like AOC and Bernie are slightly left of center. There aren’t any real leftist parties in the US. Meanwhile, most Americans would consider them leftists, because from our perspective they are the most left.
  
  As far as I'm aware, the terms "Liberal" and "Conservative" aren't exactly mutually exclusive.
  "Conservative" originally referred to defending tradition and social order. "Liberal" emphasized individual rights, reform, and limiting state power. Though once opposing forces, the terms have evolved today, someone can be socially liberal but economically conservative, or vice versa. Their meanings often depend on context.

Being called a single issue voter for caring about Palestinian children at all and a tankie for caring about economic liberation certainly would make this meme seem accurate.
- Strawman argument

Meanwhile I had the opposite reaction. "Man, I really hope this leftist reddit diaspora is at least passingly familiar with some contemporary post-left theory from the last century and isn't just tankie brainrot..."

Lol ikr?

A little projection coming from the Chinese psyop to get western countries on board with dictatorships.

Ironically, Clint Eastwood is playing a Korean War vet in that movie.

Can someone give me the rundown about why this is a thing? I've gotten called names and dismissed in political discussion because of the domain, but I'm literally only here because it's what Boost switched to when the Reddit API pricing bullshit happened.
- You mean why .ml are the way that they are? See this recap post: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279
  As far as why they shit on .world? Because it's the biggest instance that generally won't tolerate their crap as far as posting of their favored propaganda goes anyways (wish .world would just defed from them already like the rest of the triad)

I'm not a psyop but I am definitely anti-communist. Communism is fuckin' stupid. Capitalism is out of control for sure, but I damn sure prefer it to any form of communism that has ever existed on a nation-state level in the world. Signed, a lemmy dot world user.
- I'll agree on any given real world example of communism that's happened so far, but why do you hate it as a concept?
  
  Community property, community ownership of everything, and the kind of government that is required to enforce non-ownership of everything. Because in my experience when you let the community own something the dumbest bastards in town will just fuck it all up. Community ownership of everything only works when everybody is nice and considerate of others, but in the real world there are fucking idiots everywhere who don't care about the external world and others at all.
  So for communism to work, you'd have to exile all of those idiots to somewhere else. Then you are Hitler 3.0 with mass deportations and camps all over again. There's no good answer to the inherent problems.
  
  What's your criticism of first nations communism?
