  • Of course you think that there are no politics, because you have a very limited understanding of politics

  • You're describing an echochamber..

  • Oh god. How thick can you be? You did not read correctly, indeed. The question was if the meme was political. And it clearly is, since it references political entities and distributes the ideology of whoever is OP of the meme to a bunch of unsuspecting lurkers that falsely assume it's non-political. Also the fact that you disagree about what is and what isn't political makes it political

  • their users tend to talk in a very demeaning and insulting manner.

    About half of the popular posts on Hexbear are about making fun of people or communities

    it's more about their toxic behaviour

    This can be interpreted as bad faith if you don't mention towards whom this behavior is directed at.

    Their political views are less of an issue

    Thank you for admitting it's about the optics (which is not a concern for us)

  • It's not like they're secret.They used to be public on the gittea repository. Can't find the link post federation tho

  • Because we don't meet bad faith arguments with good faith

    You might want to look up the tolerance paradox

  • I dont understand the point of your comment. Also it reads overly antagonistic

    Post about homeownership rate, showing china is among highest

    General comment about US availability of land vs China's, hinting that US could do a lot better

    You asking about the point of said general comment

    Another offers explanation. Mind you home ownership is a "higher bar to clear" than mere getting rid of homelessness, because you could get rid of homelessness without having high home ownership

    You for some reason clarifying that's not about homelessness, but home ownership? (The formal writing style makes it read like you're unnecessarily antagonistic and pedantic)

  • I have only seen it used in reference to people who support dictatorial regimes with socialist aesthetics, mostly MLs.

    yet to see an anarchist be called a tankie

    There's more in the_dunk_tank if you're willing to dig

    Pro Tip: Sort by Top All. Anarchists getting called tankie tends to get a lot of upbears because we have anarchist comrades on our instance. We're a left unity instance

  • I love how you guys have decided that your definitions are the only correct ones.

    You're strawmaning hard here, because I never said it's a definition or that it's the only one. It's just my understanding of the term. What part of it is wrong in your opinion? I want to consider it

    It's your primary weapon here, for obvious reasons.

    Because it's obvious that when you're challenged on your understanding of words you have nothing to say?

  • Too bad instances can't defederate HB.

    Can you please elaborate?

    They seem to not understand that they're tankies.

    Tankie is a social construct and is used to lazily discredit everyone to the left of bernie. It functions to libs the same way as "woke" functions for chuds. As a term it's basically meaningless to anyone outside of the internet.

  • No offence but your lack of media literacy is showing..

    You understand that using WaPo as a source for American wrong doings is not the same as using WaPo as a source for wrong doings it's geopolitical rival. You'd need a Chinese outlet admitting to their faults for it to be equivalent..

    Nonetheless I clicked on your link:

    The disclosure comes in an investigative report from the Associated Press and a new research report by scholar Adrian Zenz for the Jamestown Foundation.

    Literally the second paragraph...

  • On Firefox Mobile when on your Lemmy instance hit the three dots > install

  • farmers who own their lands,

    which burned their crop because they didn't want to collectivize causing food shortages

    and workers who want unions independent of the state,

    which were ultimately used by the west (solidarnoĊ›c)

    and political dissidents,

    Unlike any other country

    and a thousand other groups

    No u

    the bourgeoisie and their running dogs.
