But would you decapitate a policeman, steal his helmet, shit into it and send it to his widow? That's the real question.

i can see doing one burn that is kind of rough, then evaluating the situation and applying some correction?

what do we say to the god of software bugs ruining our space exploration? not today!

one of these days we will finally say it, but... not today 😆

they are are extremely obnoxious mix of tankies and some other leftists who might have been slightly less obnoxious if they were on their own, but being in the group with said tankies, you don't want them any more than the former

i apologize for grammar structure of my sentence and hope it makes some sense

if you have few days of time to kill you can check this thread where lemm.ee admin is asking lemm.ee users about their opinion on defederating them. they brigade the thread in such a way they make more than 77% of the 2k comments in the thread (not exaggerating - the thread has 1920 comments when viewed from lemm.ee and 425 when viewed from lemmy.world which blocks them) and explain their philosophy in the process. so you will understand stuff like "who absolutely needs to be murdered for the crime of having more money than you in order to make world more just place & other tankies' wisdom".

you have to acknowledge that they did really good job of introducing themselves, though - i had no idea they even existed the day before that thread and i am firm proponent of "defederate. now." today 😆

ok, it seems to be working 😆

ok, that's fair point

not open source, but works really well

Are you equating the USSR and Nazi Germany?

no, i am not equating them, i am saying that communists killed far more people than nazis.

The symbol of the Sickle and Hammer isn’t a genocidal symbol

yes, it is. there is no ideology in the history of the world that murdered more people, than the one that flew a banner with sickle and hammer.

you missed my point and you wrote three angry paragraphs about it, good for you! 🤣

My experience is that

my experience is that when someone tries to put inequality sign between being an asshole and "not supporting them", he is trying to make an excuse for being an asshole.

what do you even mean by "supporting them"? do you bring them food and your old clothes every sunday or something? how do you express on the internet that you "don't support" someone/something?

when i am indifferent to a topic, whatever that topic is, i don't feel the need to go on the internet and express that indifference. when i talk about something, it is either because i am for or against it. so when you are being called for being an asshole, you weren't just "not supporting them", whoever them is in the context, you were probably an asshole and now you are trying to mask it.

(to prevent further confusion - i am aware you are not the person i originally replied to, so any "you" in this text is just a figure of speech)

□ I’m okay with Mozilla handling my info as explained in this Privacy Notice.

the privacy notice doesn't relate to the poll, is as fuzzy as it can be and doesn't even come close to mentioning there is mandatory e-mail field (not talking about explaining how it is handled). i am afraid that checkbox is not going to be checked from me.

so in the download section of firefox website, there will be notice: "not recommended for use in france"

problem solved 🤣

it is strange that all these countries always have to protect the border in just one direction. no one wants to break in 😆

Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear,

after the show they produced in this discussion, i wouldn't be that sure about that 😆

and it only affected you. maybe you should take a minute and think about why that is.

i did realize. i was confused by both his absurd exaggeration and irrelevance to the topic.

one of the numbers surpasses the total population of the country and the other one is not, so no, they are not the same.

feel free to go back to reading collected works of lenin and other quality literature.

so i was making point about significance of symbols. point of the comment was that if you accompany hate crime with a symbol of criminal ideology, you cannot just pretend the symbol had nothing to do with it just because it may have been also used elsewhere in the history in the different context. whether you have graves in your family has zero relevance to that point.

so you reply with absolutely irrelevant story about history of ireland, you refuse to explain, give me standard "do your own research" that every moron lacking argument gives you. then you accuse me of shifting goalposts while it is you who moved few lightyears from the original topic and i am insulting your intelligence? i say you are doing pretty good job with that yourself.

apart from the fact that the story is irrelevant to the original point (and the question of how much did you or did you not exaggerated) what was your point? so british government acted like an asshole sometime in the history, so what? why do you tankies think that just because someone else is also asshole it somehow justifies the crimes of cummunist wannabes through the history?

Your ideology committed great atrocities against my people.

you know shit about my ideology, the only thing you know is that i consider internet communists bunch of edgy teenagers, and/or morons and/or pure evil assholes - sorted in descending order of their share in the population - hopefully for most edgy teenagers it is just growing phase.
