    so, they think that all of the communists are western ethnic minority incels? I won't deny that a portion of us may fit that profile, but that seems to be ignoring actual communist movements outside of the imperial core.

    Anecdotally, at my most troubled, lonely, self-hating times, I was a libertarian type who thought I could learn the secrets of success by learning from Ayn Rand, Ronald Reagan, the Koch Brothers, the Roman Empire, and (misunderstanding) Nietzsche. It was only after I started dating, got therapy, got my degree, got a job, and traveled more to "tankie countries" that I became a communist.

      It’s trying to say that people are only communists because they are racial minority incels who can’t blame white people for being incels so they decide to attack white people but promoting decolonization. It’s ridiculous

      I think it's racist white incels projecting their shitty personality onto other ethnicities.

          The comic is impolite and unnecessary, I'm just having fun mocking the attitude in it.

              I didn't catch that, but all the same is there some rule on either server that people have to cater their posts to be appropriate for children?

              If so, wouldn't the original post be just as infringing?

                There isn't a 'Cater to children' rule, no, but there is a blanket 'Be respectful to comrades' one. I'm unsure of if your replies necessarily cross that line (and I personally don't feel they do) but I haven't been here long enough to really get a sense for what is or isn't permissible.

            First for, that’s Hexbear that’s known for that, not Lemmygrad. You aren’t bring told to “walk on eggshells” but rather respect other users about inappropriate jokes. I also think you are well aware of why your comment was a different line than the original post. The post is also marked as such whilst your comment isn’t spoiled

              Yes someone pointed out that mistake already.

              You'd have to click the original marked post to see mine, and mine was along the same lines, mocking the attitude in the image.

                Your comment was not along the same lines. It was absolutely far more vulgar than the original post was. And it was directly at a comrade here rather than a general ridiculoness as this post was

                  It was absolutely far more vulgar than the original post was.

                  The comic is a rightist fever dream about incels being tankies.

                  The name of the comm is "shit reactionaries say".

                  Then I did my impression, which was the same incels/tankie strawman depicted in the comic.

                  Where did I go wrong?

                  And it was directly at a comrade here rather than a general ridiculoness as this post was

                  A wordless comment of confusion is the perfect place to continue the bit without elaboration. How can that be personal?

                  Please don't let lemmy become like reddit where everything needs sarcasm tags.
