I don't have any one political view I make my own and follow no one
how do you get to the age of being a grown, functional adult and still believe this
political education is down the shitter
this is the kind of guy who looks you dead in the eyes and describes himself as a "lone wolf" without a hint of irony
Political education in the US is designed to churn out peoole who unironically say shit like that and simultaneously believe that they are radical and unique from everyone else saying the sane thing
That's not unique to amerika. Its a Liberalism thing. kkkanadians are no better.
I know some canadian leftishists and their nationalism is very strange compared to their professed beliefs.m
When I was a very young adult, I believed that for a bit. The idea thay the truth lies between two extremes was reinforced for me regularly growing up. I "heard 'both' sides" because I falsely believed they both had a kernel of truth. I felt incredibly smug about being immune to the things others fell for
Same person is convinced they are 100% impervious to marketing and propaganda.
how do you get to the age of being a grown, functional adult and still believe this
This is just the smug centrist line these people say, when in reality they agree with 99% of the fascist online discourse and think "the left" are the big enemy.
I don’t know how you can get to this point and manage not to drown in the shower
Based on their spelling and punctuation, they could actually still be a child.
What's the point? How would you go about bringing your very specific form of governance to fruition?
I think they meant that they do not follow any one political ideology or worldview. Which I guess is fine, as long as they still have reasonable responses to the issues they see around them.
but how do you follow no one
like I get what you're saying and I'm just being a bit coy here but if you follow no one you would have to go out of your way to tailor your thoughts to be contrarian compared to great thinkers of the past and present
it's just a bad way to look at your own ideology even if you do genuinely process a lot of this information independently. all of humanity's greatest work is a collaborative effort improving what came before. if you're ignoring what came before, you're just leaving holes in your ideology to be exploited.
It just means that they have no idea what they're talking about, don't know any of the ideologies in any detail and can not place their own politics appropriately.
99.9% chance this person falls into one of the ideologies extremely clearly but they're simply not politically active or educated enough to know.
Absolutely. The "best" you'll get from people like this is knowing what policies democrats and republicans claim to support, and they think some are good and others are bad. Although even then a lot of the time it's shit like "I'm pro life but I don't want to impose that on other people." or "I'm pro education."
Please rewrite the following in Maoist Standard English: "Death to the United States of America"
Close
"Another kkkracker down, infinite genocide on the Great Satan, the worldwide authoritarian terrorist empire known as the """""united""""" SStates of Amerikkka"I've been informed that it is, in fact, "SSnake$ of Amerikkka" and that you should see me after class
They have to provide information that will lead to Hillary Clinton's arrest
I review these. The
of them respond with “No.”, which technically is a complete sentence in Engel’s text.How many people just copy pasted the footnote about the Chartists? Or hell, just typed a number?
no, no, i'm not a maoist, i just happened to reach the same conclusion as maoism from first principles reasoning, as an independent free thinker
I'm just a hard working country boy, which is why I believe we should let the workers run the factories instead of the bosses.
i haven't read marx's kapital, but i have the marks of capital all over my body
As a teenage lib on acid I actually stumbled across a crude understanding of the principle of contradiction but then had no idea what to do with it for years
That's so funny and based lmao, they just give them this random looking link but when you click you get this big THE PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNISM popping off taking half of your screen like some kind of screamer for libs 🤣🤣
The comments on the .world post read like an advert for .ml. "They banned me for being a piece of shit, and tried to have slurs blocked in the source."
The devs come off extremely based in that github thread the poster linked. "Fork it if you don't like it" as if "Lemmy_but_with_slurs" is going to overtake the original version.
Despite the devs' well known communist leanings, I'm 99% sure that the requirement is there just to prove that the applicant actually read the registration directions and is not a bot.
That's cruel. Liberals burst into flame upon reading the holy writ
i know, but the domain was chosen for a reason.
I thought Mali took all their domains back tho?
They did, but they only nuked suspected spam sites, since the .ml domain was packed with those. Technically they could still revoke lemmy.ml at any time for any reason but if they didn't do it in the initial wave I'm not sure why they would now.
I'm not sure why they would now.
anticommunism ☹
Non "commies" dont spend all day thinking of either lenin nor marx and are unlikely to make that connection.
Lemmy.ml advertised it's self as a foss/dev community during the reddit exodus last year which is why i signed up for it.
god, i wish, instead i think about ice cream, tea, and guitar tones all day.
seems it's still in line with foss principles though, though i've been very vocal about my disdain for open source nerds for not knowing how to make a program people can figure out without having used anything else first.
I don't have any one political view I make my own and follow no one
I'm a WeedReference420ist with Being Epic and Badass Characteristics
@dessalines@hexbear.net or @dessalines@lemmy.ml
@nutomic@hexbear.net @nutomic@lemmy.ml
If you're here, please put a question about "was General Dessalines' decision to kill off the remnants of French slaver class in Haiti a genocide or not, regardless of whether you agree or not with the action?"
Then we'll hear of them kkkrakkas complain about white genocide, when they search up that based purge... lmao
@dessalines@hexbear.net
I support desalinating the west
in every way possible
Well, that's another way of interpreting his name
To their white surprise, the Haitians would kill thousands of slave owners and define a new term of the era, named 'Haitianism'...
I was always under the impression that the .ml stood for Marxist-Leninist
No but the admins are definitely Marxist-Leninists, one even uses Castro as a pfp
Made an ask Chapo about this the other day and was told although the devs are communists, ml is for Maldives and the domain was given away for free at the time.
Marxist-Leninist was definitely a conscious choice though.
Lmao, how is that worse than "click every picture that has a [thing] in it"
I fail these at an alarming rate too, i'd much rather be tricked into reading theory
OH GOD I'M ON A WATCHLIST
