  • Have you ever experienced a stun grenade? Tear gas?

    I have experienced tear gas, yes.

    Have you been grabbed by a MAGAt as he screamed “RACE TRAITOR” in your face? Have you had your camera grabbed by a Qultist as he screamed “FUCK YOU FAKE NEWS” in your face?

    I’ve been beaten (once severely) and abused by chuds for who I am, not for being to them a race traitor. I’ve endured much worse from pigs (probably MAGA themselves, but who knows) acting on the orders of Democrats.

    Don’t fucking presume to know me.

    lol I didn’t. The only thing I “presumed” about you was that you are a liberal, and considering everything you said (which it seems you did have the sense to since delete), that was a fair and correct assessment, not a presumption. But it’s rich that you would tell me not to presume anything about you when everything you said in your now-deleted comment was a disgusting presumption and misrepresentation of socialists’, their positions, motivations, and actions. You were even using quotation marks around things you think socialists say (including “wah wah” crying) and how “lazy” they are for refusing to vote for war criminals conducting genocide. So yet again… your accusation (that I was presuming to know you) was not only totally false, it was a description of what you yourself were doing. Every Accusation a Confession.

    If you actually are out there in the streets fighting MAGA chuds - good, I hope you beat the shit out of them. But when you’re not occupied with that, learn some actual leftist theory and do some self crit rather than defending and upholding your enemies and ridiculing, disparaging, and lying about the people who are not only consistent with their principles in opposition to genocide, but who are out there fighting the fash in the streets too.


  • Because they’re fucking lazy and would rather shitpost on Lemmy et al instead of doing something.

    Liberals, every accusation a confession. It is objectively and demonstrably the coward “lesser evil” voters who are lazy and refuse to do anything of value, patting themselves on the back and thinking they’ve done their “civic duty” by penciling in the bubble endorsing genocide so they can call it a day. Socialists are the ones who realize that actual work has to be done for any material difference to ever be made and you have to constantly fight systemic injustice and materially help marginalized people rather than do a little masturbatory performative nod to the status quo once every couple (or every 4) years. The people you’re calling lazy are the ones who are out there volunteering their labor to provide food and other essentials for unhoused people or people otherwise impoverished by the system of exploitation that both republican and democrat fascists force upon the world. It’s the socialists who are out in the street doing what they can to build parallel power structures that will continue to help actual people while cloistered, privileged, treat-obsessed liberals sit content in their bubble, pretending they spoke truth to power by voting for that same power.

    What’s immediately hilarious about your lie is that most socialists did vote (despite knowing how insufficient it is to accomplish literally anything worthwhile) they just didn’t vote for the blue donkey version of the fascists that liberals like you worship, they voted for De La Cruz (or La Riva before her). So saying that it’s socialists who are lazy for not voting is an immediate tell that you’re either painfully ignorant or cynically lying (likely both) since most socialists did do that ineffectual bare minimum thing you foolishly think is so important, they just aren’t stupid cowards like the liberals who pretend they did such hard work by filling out a ballot for fascists. Thanks for outing yourself as being the one guilty of everything you just accused socialists of.





  • The only thing your position is really advocating is the useless deaths of vast numbers of Ukrainians (and Russians, for that matter). [emphasis mine]

    They never admit it, but the fact that Russian deaths will continue is one of if not the main reason these NATO dronies are fine with sacrificing the lives of all those Ukrainians they pretend to care about. Spoiler warning: they don’t actually care about Ukrainians. But they’ll still couch it in terms as if they’re “supporting Ukraine.” Such “Ukraine supporters” are either completely, pathetically fooled by obvious NATO propaganda or they are just bloodthirsty bigots (or both, which is most often the case).


  • No, we want Ukraine to stop trying to ethnically cleanse the Donbas and give the people there self determination. And we want the Ukrainian government to stop forcibly conscripting people to go die needlessly on the front in a clearly losing war. We want NATO to stop enabling all of that (it literally wouldn’t be happening if they weren’t demanding that it continue). That’s what it is to be a peace activist. And I’m fairly sure I can speak for all of us, we are not pacifists, lol. But we are advocates for peace and the end to the horrible and needless loss of life.

    Nice try to completely twist reality, and completely misrepresent us, as you war mongering dronies always do.

    Edit: We actually give a shit about all the Ukrainian people being thrown into a fucking meat grinder. We care about their lives. The people who just say “more weapons to Ukraine!” do not give a shit about the lives of the people there. They’re happy to just let the war keep dragging on until the last capable Ukrainian is dead. An example of how WE feel about the tragedy of the situation: https://hexbear.net/post/503747 (hexbear link to a lemmygrad news post)


  • Gonna paste a comment I made a couple weeks ago. Seems relevant again, both because of the accusation levied against hexbears and also because Parenti.

    Oh a hexbear. … You lot only have overly simplistic takes.

    When we respond to blatant ignorance with carefully chosen wording, backing up our position with citations and links, and calmly explaining the nuance of complex geopolitical realities, we get accused of “always throwing walls of text at people.” When we answer that same ignorance with short and pithy responses, we “only have simplistic takes.”

    parenti-hands

    There’s no winning with you simple-minded dronies, but I guess there never is when one side can just make shit up that fits their vibes-based outlook on the world.


  • Socialism is when the government does stuff.

    Uh, yeah?

    You are literally saying something that is so thoroughly absurd it is a well known meme used to make fun of people who don’t know what they’re talking about.

    Clip of the most famous example of the meme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgiC8YfytDw

    Lecture the clip is from (that you could learn a lot from): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysZC0JOYYWw

    Look, ignorance is not a crime. But you really are painfully ignorant about the topic you are claiming to explain and you would do well to learn more before presuming to educate “extremists on both sides.” Your comments are so lacking in self awareness and so cringe that I’m half convinced this is a bit.

    Edit: So after a refresh of the thread I read more of your comments and I’m glad to see you’re willing to learn and discuss. Here is another good introduction point that’s been well received by a lot of people beginning to look beyond the buzzwords and genuinely learn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpKsygbNLT4 Actually, the same could be said for about every video on that channel (Second Thought).



  • The reason that one version of the “go off” phrase (identical in every way to the other except for one word that specifies gender) might feel to you like it has different connotations is because we live in a patriarchal society that doesn’t assign value the same across all genders. That’s not an excuse to use the version of that phrase which misgenders someone.

    And your example is really weird and obscures what’s actually at issue. The difference in meaning between the words “bros” and “sissies” goes way beyond just a difference in gender. One is a common and generally affectionate term that men call each other when being friendly. The other is most often used as misogynistic term to insult men by disparaging their masculinity.


  • No one ever said we are always right, and we can’t be, because our internal struggle sessions are well know. We weren’t even able to federate for 3 years due to incompatible code, and in that time, disagreed (to put it lightly) on things all the time in ways where both sides can’t be right. I realize it can be convenient for you to talk about people you’re trying to disparage as a monolith, but I assure you, no hexbear thinks hexbears are always right.

    But when it comes to actually knowing shit about geopolitics, and understanding realities beyond the narrative that has been crafted to justify the ruling class’ dominance and hegemony, it’s hard to get it wrong when you’re talking to propagandized liberals who eat up that narrative like good little unquestioning beneficiaries of empire. That much is true.


  • Ukraine has lost. They are not getting their separatist regions back.

    [citation needed].

    Points at the utter failure of the joke of a counteroffensive to even breach Russia’s first line of defense after months of hype about retaking Crimea

    In any case Ukrainians disagree with you and keep on fighting.

    You mean the ones forced to fight because they were kidnapped off the street and will be shot if they try to leave? Or the fascists that are in charge?

    Heck even if Russia occupied all of Ukraine they’d keep on fighting.

    Part of the reason why Russia does not want to occupy all of Ukraine.

    It’s not in your hands whether they fight or not,

    Nor yours, but it is in the hands of NATO leadership who have stymied peace negotiations at every opportunity.

    and their motive is just

    [citation needed]

    so why not help them?

    Why would we want to help people get forced into a meat grinder?


  • Not saying he needed to but it was very obvious that he did.

    Do you hear what you’re saying?

    Putin: “Even though I have overwhelming support, I’m going to conduct a giant conspiracy to win an election I would win anyway. It may come with very high cost and no actual benefit, but YOLO. In fact it might even undermine all that support I already have. But fuck it, I’m an evil dictator, so that’s what I’m gonna do.”

    putin-wink

    Those western sources also agree that he rigged his election.

    Maybe, just maybe… no, no, hear me out… Maybe you should start questioning all the things you hear from those western sources?
