    I've always maintained the problem with the trolls and wreckers on lemmy is that they're literally too uneducated to properly dunk on anything we have to say

    On reddit you'd at least have dipshit post-graduates scour Hayek's wikipedia page for anti-commie talking points

    But on lemmy you're dealing with clowns who don't even know what a pronoun is and have never heard of the patriot act

    It's almost at the level of debating creationists, at a certain point you're basically just smashing walnuts with a sledgehammer

    My introduction to this concept was someone using it to give an evopsych justification for humanity being inherently capitalist debord-tired

      It's a favorite of theirs. For those who havent heard it somehow, it goes like "Communism works in small communities where everyone knows each other, but it doesn't scale up!"

        The whole argument rests on the notions that you can't possibly care about the well being of people you don't know, and that that's somehow required for human beings to work cooperatively.

        You can tell this is true because there's no such thing as "charity" or "Wikipedia"

    lisan-al-gaib we honed the art of shitposting by fighting among ourselves. An outside threat just causes us to unite and fight as a unit.

    oh alright, I'll go look at what our three stalkers are up to today. I wonder what the outcome of getting our attention for the first time in months was...
