      Communism is when first world crackers make up utopias in their heads and then do nothing except criticize non-white countries

        the soviet union and china weren't communist. I also don't like scary angry communists like various independence movements around the world, they look like the people they call "terrorists" on the news. when I say I'm a communist I mean I want to have a nice real communist country like Sweden, where they have a semi-functional healthcare system and communist parties get 0.5% of the vote and the party that wants to make being a foreigner illegal gets 57.5%

      "Totalitarian" is arguably the most meaningless word, ever. Also, imagine being haunted by the specter of a country that hasn't existed since probably before you were born. Oh no! The big bad soviets are going to rise from the grave and steeeeeal yooooour graaaaaaain!

        All political economies are totalitarian, save those in a state of upheaval. The fact they dont see capitalism as all encompassing and forcing a person to conform to it every second of the day is incredible.

    An incredibly concentrated dose of stupidity in that thread. It's amazing. I don't even get what the point of being off Reddit is for those losers, they have the same critical thinking skills as the average redditor.

    Hate speech is when you criticize Israeli colonialism and genocide according to Lemmy dot world.

    They are aware that the majority of the world recognises the state of Palestine, right? The world is not Europe and the USA. Very ironic instance name.

              It's common, yes, and it's grating to me. It's grating to me because it's generally used to mask emotional tone in a very tiresome "I'm totally not mad about whatever I'm about to say" smuglord way.

                    Honestly I do this one so often myself ohnoes

                    I have a tendency of seeing my conversations like a dialogue tree where I see all the ways what I’m saying could be confusing or upsetting so I’m constantly like softening/qualifying what I’m saying. It’s an attempt to ensure the exact meaning I’m trying to convey gets communicated without causing a distraction though upsetting people, but I’m not sure it works. I’ve been trying to notice these tics more to avoid the extra word count but obviously it’s still a struggle lol

                      I used to say "honestly" a lot as a sentence opener too. It's like an ex-smoker that really hates smoking. yea

                    I'm trying to wrap my brain around this and struggling. I use it as a garnish to make whatever I'm about to say more empathetic, especially if it's going to sound harsh without a little window dressing. I don't understand how you can possibly sprinkle it into virtually every sentence. but I'm also someone who rewrites entire comments if I've backed myself into a corner and have to reuse a word so I probably just have very different kinds of neuroses.

                      I am certain I have ways of talking (and writing) that have patterns of their own and repetitive phrasing, but my personal subjective experience is that people saying "honestly" out loud as a near-constant sentence opener makes people seem less honest and it annoys me.

                        embrace chaos and obsessively rewrite every sentence until you've removed all the unintentional repetition. or like be normal, or something.

                  ORC isn’t stealing food or toiletries. ORC is organized and systematic theft of merchandise for resell. Cosmetics, laundry detergent, razors, electronics, etc.

      Their admins are not thin-skinned, or at least that's not why they do these things. They're cynical and fascist. This is why they lie and fail to show receipts: if they grounded their claims in examples, they'd have to show the political decisions they're making around what counts as "hate speech" (treating Palestinians as humans deserving liberation, for example) and what does not (calls for genocide against Palestinians).

          Uighurs were only allowed to be people in their eyes to make China look bad. And even then, its not like they wanted to actually do anything to help the Uighur people. All they even wanted out of believing in it happening was to say "China Bad." Even when they pretend to care about Muslims, they don't care that much
