Ugh these people suck so bad. On average, western leftists are worse than useless. Some bullet points are kinda interesting, even if annoying.

    I have a feeling that maga is gonna love that text when defending trump. They aren’t defending the authoritarian, they’re just celebrating his accomplishments!

    No authority is the best authority.

          Do you take any negative reception to your comments as proof of whatever point you are trying to make? If you have a criticism to make in a public forum, shouldn’t you reasonably expect a response that might likewise be critical?

            Well, if I walk into a room full of maga and point out that they are behaving like maga and they go off on me, should I take their negative reception seriously?

            The article was spot on, and continues to be. I think it’s a little funny that more lemmy ‘communists’ don’t just own up to it.

            I guess my view of communism is different. However, this is the internet after all. Everyone is kind of a dick.

              Should the people you’ve gone out of your way to antagonize take you seriously if you actively refuse to even articulate a criticism (even when directly invited to multiple times) and just post vague smug shit?

              And look, for all the whining about “dog-piling” and “swarming” that people make about our instance, you can have replies to your comments, or you can have downvotes where nobody expresses an actual criticism and nobody gains anything.

                  We literally do not have downvotes, hence all the replies trying to get somebody to make an actual point.

                  How can people have this sort of smug self-confidence in their beliefs if they cannot articulate a single point even when directly invited to do so? Literally one of you just make a point and then give a “why”. Preferably make the “why” better than “because I received any negative reception for my vague but obviously antagonistic comment.”

                    The article has a bunch of bullets. Pick one. Spot on. My point is the article was right. I mean, just own it. Chasing people away from communism is pretty much all lemmy communists do lol.

                    And, what I meant is I use voyager as my client, and it allows me to hide the voting thing. So… it’s just missing. I wouldn’t know if you had or did not have it. You mentioned it. 🤷‍♂️

          Is this the first time you come to any forum and start pissing and shitting all over the place?

          Try to mildly criticize western anarchists or liberals and I guarantee that you will get dogpiled immediately.

              Well, firstly, you need to check your eyesight, because at the very least I am not a westerner.

              Secondly, in case you couldn’t understand a sentence worth of text, I suggested you go to a western anarchist or liberal forum and try to antagonise them. You will get swarmed and dogpiled right that instant.
