Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

I really need to get off .ml
😭😭😭 ML RENT FREE IN YOUR HEAD 😭😭😭
Imagine how petty and pathological it is to take the effort to make these kind of McCarthyite posts. These are the zealots foaming at the mouth and eager to go to the eastern front again to fight the evil Bolsheviks.
And the .ca 9/10 times, there’s your problem right there…
Just have to look at my comment from yesterday.
I bet MyBrainHurts last name ends in -chuk, -yuk or -enko.
Yep. That shithole breeds nothing but trash from my experience. I blocked that rotted bilge of an instance and many of its wannabe communist barnacles a long time ago.
My .ml experience:
- Have a different opinion
- Get banned for rule 2
- See what rule 2 is
- Respect other opinions
Hue hue hue

quality advice masquerading as a meme
The best jokes have a lot of truth to them!
I think I’ll decide based on the actual post content thank you very much
I always engage with Tankies, fuckin hate those guys and I want people to know it.
US liberals are so upset when they hear anything to the left of AOC.
It won’t matter in the end. Their shitty Colombus Epoch is coming to an end
What in the universe are you envisioning?
Pretending that Marxist-Leninists have Leftist beliefs is cute. That workers have no self-determination and have to tow the party line under threat of violence is the dead giveaway
Related to your post: I’ve seen people from Lemmy.ml defend imperialist behaviour from Russia and China. Surely the left is supposed to oppose imperialism - whether it’s from the US, Europe, Russia, China, or anywhere else.
What not reading and uncritically swallowing western propaganda does to a MF
Meanwhile you swallow campist doctrine. Ok buddy
Projecting much?
Here’s one of the bootlickers now. Bro, you’re a right winger obsessed with collectivization. Quit stinking up the revolution with your nonsense.
Quit stinking up the revolution with your CIA indoctrinated understanding of “authoritarianism” and your non materialist way of understanding history. To you, European social-democracy isn’t authoritarian because you happen not to live in the lands affected by neocolonialism.
The communist party is run by the working classes and derives its power from popular support. The people oppressed by communist parties were overwhelmingly fascists, landlords, and capitalists.
Communists are rich people who are privileged enough to not work and spend all day larping. They dont know working class people they’ve never met any.
I’m a communist and that’s false for me and every communist I know IRL that I work with, and is also false on an international scale. Communist parties are working class parties.
Most of my friends are some flavor of Anarchist or Socialist. Of the two outright Commies that I’ve known (who described themselves as such) one was a man of the people and the other was a lazy spoiled phony who’s communism expressed itself mainly as sharing memes on facebook.
Communists love to wear working class struggle as a disguise. They aren’t working class and once they get power they use and abuse them just like every other rich cunt.
This is nonsense. Communists seek collectivization of production and distribution to satisfy the needs of all, and when communists take power the first things they do is implement measures like land reform, literacy campaigns, and expropriate property from landlords and capitalists to better serve the interests of the people.
That problem is that not all communists were made equal. I’ve heard plenty of communists talk that I can respect but MLs aren’t the ones. Bolsheviks always managed to get their needs especially met and before anyone elses needs.
First thing they do is strip rights away from people. Second thing they do is start erasing history. Third is increasing police forces to crack down on any dissent.
Communists serve the communist party not the people.

Some communists, not all communists.
Nah pretty safe to say all.
Out right lies. The communist parties (the ones that have existed, not the the theoretical ones) derive their power from threat of violence against workers. They’re a non-hereditary nobility that oppress workers (except North Korea which is now a hereditary monarchy).
Incorrect, on all counts. Communist parties derive their power from popular support from the working classes, as they themselves are working class. State violence is used against fascists, sabateurs, capitalists, and landlords. If they truly were a nobility concerned only with oppressing workers, then you have to prove why there was such dramatic improvements in social welfare, poverty eradication, key life metrics, studied Marxism and taught it in universities, and more. Certainly these would have been of no importance to a new ruling class?
You’re dramatically incorrect here.

You’re making things up to be mad about. Nobody pretends that those countries are flawless. You just can’t seem to handle the idea that none of those countries are 1/10 the threat to the world that the US is.
Removed by mod
Defending them isn’t the same as saying they are flawless. What is the point of criticizing North Korea? Especially from a country like the US who does far more harm to the world than either NK or Russia.

When I say “defend” I don’t mean a blanket defense. There are good criticisms to make, some of which you’ve highlighted. Unfortunately, such criticisms are too often used as excuses to write off those countries entirely, and to justify any and all attacks on them. For example, I often hear it said that I shouldn’t defend Palestinians, because they are anti gay. This is meant to distract us from the even greater evil occurring. You can do this with literally any country, which would mean that it isn’t “remotely acceptable to defend” any of them.

US Liberals are upset when they see anyone further left than Ronald Reagan
Ah yes. Telling Ukraine that they should “stop fighting so people stop dieing” is being left of AOC and not Russian propaganda. We at ml are just peace absolutists, it’s just a coincidence that our peace absolutism somehow involves just giving everything to Russia.
I’m curious how you envision Ukraine winning. From where I’m standing, I cannot see any remotely realistic pathway for them to regain any significant amount of territory. There may have been (probably was) a time when more/different weapons would have made a real difference, but at this point it’s a matter of manpower. Do you think anyone is going to send troops?
Believe it or not, I don’t think Russia is well-run, or a good place for workers. I don’t like their foreign policy either. However, I also don’t think it’s useful or accurate to reduce them to “Putin bad”. Of course he’s bad, but that doesn’t explain major Russian foreign policy anymore than “Trump bad” explains major US foreign policy. Not saying that nuance is an excuse, but you can’t make any real analysis without it.
However, I also don’t think it’s useful or accurate to reduce them to “Putin bad"
As their neighbour, I totally agree. It’s not Putin bad. It’s everyone from fucking Russia. There’s nothing that came from Russia and wasn’t made into an abomination.
(* Except Russian people who left Russia because they could see how god damn awful that place and everyone in it is; Pretending otherwise is literally dismissing their culture).
I learned that lesson this week.
I was wondering why so many tankies dominated that instance.
ML meaning “Marxist-Leninists” makes so much more sense now.
What a bunch of assholes.
it actually stands for country of Mali but tankies are right there engaging in imperialism and failing to see the irony lol
The best part. ML losers got the domain because “paying 5$ a year for TLD is capitalism!” and then in 2023 free .ml domains were discontinued because surprise surprise - it was a stupid idea lmao
What a bunch of mega losers lemmy.ml is.
Using cheap/free options to get an open source non-profit social media app off the ground is imperialism now 😭
Poor Mali deserves reparations for the domain name we ripped from their children, all posts shall now start with a land acknowledgement 😂
God you guys are hilarious sometimes
TLD is 5$ per year - the decision is purely vanity and nothing about this is smart or practical.
The tell-tale indicator is the post itself, not the instance.
I’ll make my own judgments, thank you.Whenever braininabox shows up, you know it’s about to get a little Rule 2 in here
