just once i would like to scroll lemmy for more than 15 minutes without being smashed over the head with an example of why i left
Maybe if you actually left that would stop happening? Seems kinda obvious if you’re not a complete fucking moron
Buh bye liberal!
bye lib
There are Lemmy liberals?
so so many, usually coming from the world or SJW instance
Tons.
“choosen news sources.”
grate stuff!
jackeroni? more like tankieroni
I wonder when liberals will realize that Marxists really don’t care about being called “tankies,” just like we don’t care about being called “commies.”
there´s still a difference between marxists who actually read books to get a coherent worldview - and you.
Lol you are talking to the person who has assembled entire reading lists, you literally could not have picked a worse target for your random stab in the dark
OMG now I wanna know what they said.
i gotta admit my mistake. my anger was directed at OP. apparently i don´t know how lemmy works.
Saying that to Cowbee specifically is so fucking funny lmao
They are clearly very well read and use their knowledge to cite their sources for bullshit internet arguments. Straight up one of the worst targets you could have picked for your flippant comment there
yea yea whatever. speak to russians in exile and get a reality check.
Okay, I looked up a survey of some Russians
According to the Levada Center, an independent pollster, most Russians have consistently regretted the dissolution of the USSR. In 2020, 60 percent of respondents expressed regret and 63 percent believed that the dissolution could have been avoided; 49 percent of those polled named “destruction of the USSR” among the twentieth-century events that evoked in them feelings of shame and sadness; and 75 percent believed that “the Soviet era was the best time in Russia’s national history, with a high level of prosperity and opportunities for ordinary citizens.”
Huh, would you look at that
the dissolution of the ussr was the biggest historic disaster in the past 50 years.
i don´t understand how it´s related to this.
It’s relevant in that you are still uncritically guzzling down the propaganda of the empire that did it
Sorry I’m too busy reading (non specified) books in order to form a coherent worldview so that big thinkers on the internet won’t call me the tankie word anymore
make fun of me. the ussr doesn´t exist anymore. russia is an oligarch run state with fascist tendencies and it supports fascist actors all over europe.
if you support russia you support outlawing the communist party in czechia, the rise of the afd in germany and the repressive vucic government in serbia. - tankie is the wrong word to describe russia supporters.
Yeah so I’m not sure what any of this has to do with accusing Cowbee of not reading and how fucking hilarious that is, but hell yeah dawg go off on all those phantom tankies you’ve got trapped up in your head. You’re going to crush them all in this debate that only you are having
I read books, which ones do I need to read to pass your arbitrary test? My views align with the various Marxist-Leninist groups around the world, broadly, are all of them also confused?
do you think switching from “we attack ukraine to get rid of the nazis” to “ukraine is not a real country” is actually marxism in praxis? in the end ukraine has the biggest coal resources in europe and a lot of lithium. it´s pure imperialism. with that logic i could call for the destruction of palestine and it´d still be marxist by your standards.
stop defending war mongering countries. stop defending imperialism.
stop defending war mongering countries. stop defending imperialism.
You are the one defending NATO, though.
no lol. fuck NATO.
Ok. Prove me wrong. Go ahead and criticise NATO’s disinformation the way you do with Russia. Also, if you are against Russia’s actions in Ukraine, provide a valid alternative response to NATO’s aggression against Russia.
Where have I said any of that? You’re deeply unserious, and deflecting. What Marxist works should I read to pass your test? I’ll add em to the list. Are the various ML orgs I agree with also confused in your eyes?
that´s the narrative used to invade a country. but you know what? - it changes everyday.
lemmy is filled with pure russian disinfo posts, i refer to OP making this assumption and posting a news story about how the drones in poland were actually fake. - this is where my outrage stems from.
i really try to stay civil but i´m losing my mind when people defend fake news from a country that floods social media with ai generated bullshit that just creates chaos. russia is helping with the rise of fascism in my country and some “comrades” defend it.
So you’re just lashing out and insulting me personally because I called out how useless an insult like “tankie” is, including inventing a worldview for me and calling me an incoherent Marxist? As you admit, you’re just outraged and aren’t thinking clearly or coherently, even if I wanted to discuss my views on the Russo-Ukrainian war right now there’s no reason I’d expect a good-faith response from you when you’re already inventing my responses.
Also, because I am curious at this point, what Marxist works should I read to pass your test? I’ll add em to the list. Are the various ML orgs I agree with also confused in your eyes?
that´s the narrative used to invade a country.
You are fine with invasions. You never condemn things like invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iran, etc.
lemmy is filled with pure russian disinfo posts
Case in point for the meme.
You automatically assume that whatever contradicts the narrative of the ‘Iraq has WMDs’ people is false. No regard for any of the actual facts.
Wow such good argument 😁
Ironic considering your last 6 posts are Russian state media. Turning a critical eye to things that support our own preconceptions is hard for all of us I guess
Oh wowzers another fashlib from the ShitJustFash instance.
I’m posting what Lemmy is lacking, there is already tons of your preferred empire
propaga…oh sorry “news”… for you to digestcall people fashlib all you want. russian propaganda is throwing shit at the wall until it sticks. you know… mainstream media sucks but russian state media is straight up lying. get out of your own ass and stop rooting for teams. you can hate the west AND russia.
are all the russian journalists in exile i interviewed just psyops? are the russian politicians who fled after the crackdown on other parties just foreign spies?
sucking russias dick is even more removed than believing mainstream western news without any doubts.
0·6 days agoHomophobia/misogyny into a word that is removed, really? Do better.
Why would they invent lies, when their enemy, the usa empire, is evil beyond imagination?
i´m asking myself the same tbf
There are plenty of great non-msm perspectives challenging traditional narratives in America/ the west. State sponsored media from a nation with very clear biases is not among them.
Saying “your sources of news are bad so I’m going to post equally bad ones from a different side” doesn’t help anyone, posting better sources does.
The whole notion of dismissing information because it’s from a state media source is so bonkers. You don’t have to accept their framing, and you can go look up other sources to get different perspectives on a particular piece of news. The reality is that any outlet will have its own biases and leanings. That doesn’t mean the news it reports should be discarded out of hand. I read mainstream western media every day, yet I hardly agree with any of their opinions.
Why get perspectives from the west? You’ll miss like 90% of the people in the world’s perspectives this way. The other way around its like 10% missed (and those 10% are mostly genociders)
