Gotta agree. While I enjoy just vibing with the comrades here, having those clashes adds hilarity, memes and develops a culture that made eg GZD so unique.
It’s amazing to see how liberals have no idea what to do when they end up outside their circle jerk. They aren’t able to articulate any actual points, and they’re used to just piling on anyone who says things they disagree with and not have to actually make an argument of their own. My favorite is the guy who keeps linking to wikipedia descriptions of logical fallacies without actually understanding them. 😂
Ukraine community:
In the upper 50-70 posts there’s like 3 your posts critical of the narration and every single other post is straight up either UA propaganda, western repost of UA propaganda or westoid rablings going even further than UA propaganda.
I mean these people have been subjected to some of the most intense propaganda ever deployed for like two years now. Arguably this can even be traced back to the Russiagate conspiracy theory. That primed libs to hate Russia, and then all the Ukraine propaganda just hitches on to that.
And we’re the ones who want to exist in self-affirming spaces? Liberals can’t see the hypocrisy of decrying the far-right yet acting exactly like them.
They left reddit because of reddit bullshit and the first thing they want to do in this new space is create the exact same conditions that made reddit crap.
This is colonialism all over again.
This is colonialism all over again.
Yeah, I see a lot of bragging about “pushing tankies out of the space”, the space that they founded, mind you. Not even content with just creating echo chambers to exist blindly and unquestioningly in (beehaw), they don’t want other groups to have anything for themselves; they aren’t satisfied getting a space for themselves until they can be sure their ‘enemy’ also has no space for themselves.
They haven’t made a single comment with any substance. I specifically and repeatedly tried to tease one out of them.
Yeah, but I don’t think they’re trying. This is a tactic frequently used on forums like 4chan where they just flood you with copy pasted nonsense to waste your time and discourage discussion. They know what they’re doing and are acting like that intentionally, which is why I’m worried about this becoming normalized on lemmy.ml. Hopefully it dies out just like the Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Brooklynman is a misgendering reactionary who calls people snowflakes.
The other one is probably his experimental debatebro bot. Only something like 10 lines that have 0 context relevance.
Edit: Now he is using both accounts to doubledownvote everything (in sync)
This is only one person
Holy shit go look at the thread right now, that guy have SERIOUS problems.
Always gotta love the faux-confidence the libs have of knowing they are always right, because they can dismiss anyone who doesn’t agree with them as biased/a shill/propagandist.
Heaven forbid somebody engage in an intellectually honest debate with somebody with a differing opinion. Even if somebody IS spouting propaganda, you don’t become tainted by having a discussion with them; you might even convince a third party who is viewing.
Listen pal, Ukraine is Dumbledore’s Rebellion Army and Russia is goddamn Dark Vader and the Nazis (bad) all rolled into one. Now are you gonna wise up and support the Nazis (good) against the bigoted slavic hordes, or am I gonna have to write more vague masturbatory screeds in the cadence of a West Wing monologue I half-watched once?
That’s what I thought.
