If you don’t think some Lemmy instances are being run from Fort Meade and Quantico, you’re not paranoid enough.

As long as we all agree you don’t actually care about rule violations, you’re just mad they think differently than you.

Me: How’s that AI search algorithm going, Google?

Google: “Did you mean ‘Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds Dune?’”

Ah, he doesn’t own it, he just decides what it does.

The leadership explicitly refuses to repudiate the old charter that called for genocide, and has directly said they can’t do that politically, or even call it a replacement.

It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out why, you sure as hell wouldn’t be pretending you don’t understand why MAGA leaders won’t criticize the Confederacy or the KKK.

Yeah, it’d be real fucked up if Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, all allied and interconnected Iran-backed terrorist groups, had direct calls for jihad and genocide in their charters and mottos, or founder and leader quotes saying they are glad Israel exists because it saves them the trouble of hunting the Jewish diaspora

OH WAIT

THEY DO

If you want to talk about violence, any level of violence, as a legitimate response to colonialism, especially when it enters the ethnic cleansing stage, fair enough, but don’t pretend they’re not genocidal fuckwits themselves with plenty of proof for their intentions.

If you want to know why Lemmy is full of pissed off people fighting in the comments it’s because half the people who comment on Lemmy have the fact checking ability of a mentally incapable squirrel and they’ll repeat any damn thing they hear.

Yeah, the premise of Nashville hot chicken is simple enough that you’re not going to get some secret technique that requires the cook to get up at 3am to start the slow smoker or anything, so all you need for the authentic experience is a cook that knows what to do instead of some corporate slave that goes “it’s just spicy chicken, right?”

No one who goes to 4chan in the 2020s has a viewpoint worth listening to. At best they just like trolling idiots.

Hexbear and Lemmygrad are different instances, but tbh at this point I’m just happy with people that can at least vaguely define liberalism and socialism, and I don’t have to see the great minds upvote “communism is right wing, AKSHUALLY, because right wing means authoritarian.”

Edit: ah wait, your comment was under one about both, I conflated it with the other chain about Lemmygrad specifically.

I guess it’s slightly better that they’re mostly honest deniers instead of “they had it coming” types.

I think. I personally find it refreshing in small doses to deal with people that actually know what the fuck they’re talking about in terms of political theory, some of the shit .world users will say is…

Upsetting, intellectually.

Of course, so is talking to a genuine Stalinist.

Historically, Nazis weren’t actually picky about their rape victims.

It was a bad time to be a woman in a Nazi ghetto.

You’d think, but eleven people didn’t immediately recognize that.

Apparently it is rather easy to gather personal data as an instance owner, so it really makes you wonder.

Sees a bunch of “freeze speech” including “freespeechextremist”- lol the classic

Sees “freecumextremist”- oh no, the classic!

I don’t think there’s a reliable source for that claim, but it’s mean to two groups I don’t like and is therefore true

TIL that clown couldn’t even build a unique message board.

There’s a world where it can make sense, due to advancing technology and education. We don’t live in it.

The best hamburger I’ve ever had didn’t look like it would be.

Just as a note, my stepfather had the best burger of his life right before his first case of food poisoning.

That’s called a privateer
