Biggest insult so far is that he implied I'm just tankie-adjacent
No man, no. I've gone full tank by now, and I proudly wear that label like marshal zhukov wore his medals!

Edit: also imagine the McCarthist brainworm, removing a well-received pro-piracy post in the pro-piracy instance just to own the tankies, lol. 🧠🪱
makes a false equivalence that living in a ‘privileged first world country’ means you must be a pro-corporate lapdog
Not all westerners are corporate shills, but all corporate shills are westerners. When you're able to afford media and a decent lifestyle, you start to look down upon those who can't, you berate them for being "parasites" at worst and for "not supporting the poor corporations" at best.
I remember a time when piracy was the norm, when they wanted to show us a movie in school, they would either bring a burned CD or go to a streaming site, now they have won the "cultural war" and those things would be considered on par with armed robbery. 15 years ago we had people selling pirated games on the streets, good times those were. For context I live on the poorer side of the westoid core and our school system is chronically underfunded, it's not rare for a school to literally fall into pieces.
They tried to argue with me in a post I made about the banning of my post but at this point I think I'm not even gonna argue with them, the only thing they can do is reinstate my post but they won't, having a cheap laugh at their expense is better. Having an infinite discussion with them is less productive than having it with my (fantastic, beautiful and far smarter than them) cat.
These people can't be argued with, if I have the time I can find another guy from lemmygrad talking about it1: you can always win the conversation with libs (as their arguments don't contain any substance) but they always want the last word on anything, if you take the bait, you're gonna be engaged with them till the end of time, and frankly I don't have too much time to spare rn.
1 here's the full exchange:

And a selected quote:
99.9% pure basedness concentrate
Oh dear, that’s probably it for now, this lib has reached the point that they will simply regurgitate the same circular statements again and again. A well-coordinated team of comrades can keep them going like this for hours, but it will just be repeats of their previous statements over and over again, so there’s nothing new to learn here.
I am not following their preferred script and it upsets them, they want me to play their games, and have run out of new ways to try to get me back on their preferred track. Here we see the real tragedy of liberal brainworms. They simply believe that insisting upon something enough will make it so, that just repeating the same things over and over give them more weight, make them more correct, as if simply stating something enough will make it true.
but all corporate shills are westerners
Unfortunately there is shitton of compradors and brainwormed temporarily embarassed billionaires outside west too. Hmm, "westoids" would be a good name for them.
Oh yeah I forgot about them, the US exporting it's rotten neoliberal culture to the world "finally" reached the ex-warsaw pact, sigh.
It reached Poland even before socialism was destroyed, since 90's its full blown cultural invasion.
authoritarian states
I sure do love vibes based liberal politics
Bidet "uhhmmm we'll forgive 😴 $2 of student loans for every American, we'll put a mortgage on the white house and send the money to Ukraine! "
(lib crowd explodes into cheers of "heil 99% hitler, heil the lesser evil" )
Lib pundit: "sure Biden is a fossil, a weirdo, a genocide apologist and a warmonger, but at least he's not putler the baby eater! LESSER EVIL 99% HITLER"
Trumpet "folks, I'll personally manage interest rates, build a wall surrounding the Atlantic Ocean and 😴 make Atlantis pay for it! Yes folks we have the biggest walls we have the most handsome walls in the world"
(conservative crowd explode in cheers of "stop the Atlantidean caravan, build the Atlantic wall" )
Conservative pundit: "sure trump is a fossil, wears diapers, he's a warmonger, and has fascist militias on his side, but at least he's not a commie tyrant like Xi! DON'T YOU LIKE FREERUMB?
Since I started looking at amerikkkrakkker politics my brainworms rate has skyrocketed, it's at the same time the funniest and the saddest shit ever. At the same time I don't and I do get how Americans don't revolt immediately.

I love Hexbear because we always have random creative writing like this
I love hexbear because of the weird detailed emojis, I download every single one I find, i have like 7 by now.

Last two are my favorites.
A gem
BTW how do emojis work on hexbear? Like I doubt you have an emoji keyboard like on Android/iOS with your 5.000 emojis, must be unpractical. Do you telepathically communicate the emoji you want to insert to your device?
We have both an emoji button that lets us search through them all manually, and a shortcut that auto searches from keywords if we type something following a semicolon
Show
Epic, wish we had a similar thing on lemmy.ml, even better yet federated emojis. :biden-our-savior: :99-percent-hitler: :tankie-adjacent:
Federated emojis would simply be too powerful.
I do want :saltine-headassery: and :debate-pervert: from lemmygrad tho...
Oh yes, the denguin
I don't even know a context in which half of these emojis would be used but they're still funny I mean

Ah yes, Unruffled.
One of the "anarchist" admins of the "anarchist" dbzer0. I remember this clown defending Nazis in Ukraine when he commented on a Hexbear post. I then went to check his profile, and had a good laugh when I saw that he claims to oppose apologists for authoritarian states. Oh that guy, he got owned by a bunch of hexbears on a thread about Ukraine news, he's probably just gonna find a reason to take that out on whatever hexbears he sees.
Lmao db0 (instance owner) literally confirmed it 💀
The admin probably was a bit too uncharitable in interpreting the meme due to who was posting it
(Remember that many 🧠🪱ed libs like to equate lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad, so as far as he's concerned I'm a sovereign citizen of hexbear)
And
Y'all need to chill with the hate though. It's what causing these situations as admins and mods immediately assume bad faith from hexbears and .ml
Tankies stay winning!
banning and censoring in the name of freespeech and anti-censorship!
authoritarians will be banned
Criticizing first world is verboten
Noopolitik is a an academic word for Russiagate brain. Noopolitik refers to mass politics influenced by misinformation/the Internet
It's also still used if "misinformation" turns out to be 100% true.
Also, it's for some reason never applied if, say, Israel pushes the narrative that babies were beheaded, or if Zenz says there's a genocide in the middle of Urumuqi, Xinjiang.
Slav term scary, me need to trust respectable western neoliberal politician in suit, or else I get the barbaric dictator!
The term was invented by defense experts John Arquilla and David Ronfeldt in a 1999 RAND Corporation study and often appears in connection with that of smart power.
You can't make this up (although apparently you can)
Sounds like they needed a new word for realpolitik that they can say is bad and evil instead of smart and bastardly
doesn't like authoritarians
riled up by the word "bootlicker"
🤔
I had to look that one up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noopolitik
I think he means Xi and/or Putler bots, because he suffers from BlueAnon conspiracy theories about social media.I had to scroll back up, it literally just doesn't draw that equivalence?? Tankies on the brain I guess :rent-free:
First worlders aren't all corporate bootlickers waah waah has anyone thought of the first worlders 😭😭😭
At least McCarty was paid lol
That bio is basically "no fun allowed" smh literally 1986
If you're pro-corporation, what the fuck are you doing modding a piracy forum?!!?
People are hypocrites is the easiest answer to this I think.
They want free media on their invented terms, but want to criticize the free media consumption of others. It's been a thing in piracy communities since the beginning unfortunately. The great "debate" over "ethical piracy" or some shit. Everyone thinks they're fucking Batman out here with the correct moral code.
The "lib who thinks they're an anarchist and serves as a keyboard warrior to fight anything progressive" guys are so fucking annoying to deal with. At least stop making actual anarchists seem so miserable
I'm thankful that at least some people know there are okay anarchists, the best ones don't really post online much so I feel like there is a disproportionate representation of the ignorant ones on social media.
Anticommunism leads to liberalism or fascism? I'm hearing this for the first time, terrible news, terrible news. It was a great instance, a beautiful instance.If hating on multimillion media companies makes you a tankie, we may as well open up the gates of the CCCP to... literally everybody? What battle are you picking here? Whose back they got, Sony?
Tankie is the new Cultural Marxist is the new Cultural Bolshevik, all antisemitic.
I will always assume DbZero is some dragon ball spinoff I've never heard of
I'm imagining a version where the dragon balls aren't real and nobody gets wished back to life.
Ok so like Krillin doesn't even make it to Z, then at the start of Z Goku gets killed by Piccolo, then Piccolo and everyone else gets killed by Nappa, and then probably so does all life on Earth because why would Vegeta bother getting his hands dirty, the end. That'd be a hell of an ending to that story
At least it would have had an ending though, instead of turning into the shambling corpse that all shonen manga eventually becomes
I think you'd have to rewrite it a bit lmao
Instead of having Goku go to the afterlife to meet King Kai, maybe he barely survives and takes Raditz's space pod to King Kai's planet. Goku is still late arriving to that fight with the Kaioken/Spirit Bomb, and as a result Yamcha bites it, and everyone else is down for the count until Yajirobe shows up with senzu beans.
Frieza saga needs a total rewrite from the ground up though.
Nice posting comrade

Yes my instance is a bunch of dumb fucks... The mods are the worst offenders.
They also have 0 fucking idea how to sus out the bot farms. The moderators also don't have an ability to view their chat logs. If you message them >7 days later, they have NO context for what you said before.
I'm totally sure there were 5x the number of people who liked the OG post that drilled down 50 comments in a chain just to dunk on some "tankie"

I came to DbZ because it was better than lemmy.world and I didn't know much about the fediverse, more and more I feel embarrassed by this username. This is why I have a hexbear account too, DbZ is hard to trust and the Hex welcomes good anarchists anyway. I just like being able to torture myself by being federated with .world
by being federated with .world
You can join midwest.social for that and still keep Hexbear
I am SO GLAD to have caught a perma-ban for this shit. Fuck you DBZ, and the defense of your liberal bot storm.
With that level of incompetence they're gonna get taken down by the first legal threat by some IP megacorp. Or become a honeypot.
Eugene is hyped to buy the Nintendo Switch 2, he loves his mario zelda treats
There is only one period at which a new console is with buying. Once homebrew hits the scene or when it becomes ubiqiutous.
Rant time, fuck online games on which you can't host your own servers. Mfers be like "The source server browser is too complicated :cri:". Well fuck you, custom servers and that menu are not only my childhood, they rock. Fuck Meet Your Match. Shit ruined TF2.
And to add more. Love to all the heroes who made custom MKWii servers.
Maybe. I've been wanting to play the DS Zelda games (Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks) but DS games that use the touchscreen are garbage emulated on anything other than a dedicated two-screen handheld. I have an old 3ds XL but modding it to load roms on seems complicated.
Instance creator in here explaining that if you remove all instances of "piracy" from the meme then it stops being related to piracy.

I'm just gonna say that Eugene and his ilk are very common in video game communities and I hate them. I remember reading through the a famous FF7 (original) modding forum for a famous translation mod and they would show open contempt for people acquiring the PS1 era game through illicit means. In a modding forum of all places.
But how will the poor indipendent dev Mr. Square Enix eat if you don't purchase his 80 year old game😭 he has a family you know?
Seriously though, it should not even be controversial in society at large to pirate things older than a couple years. Publishers make 90% of their revenue in the first year anyway.
personally
No attacking
