This post was banned from dbzer0 for being "Tankie" lmfao what a joke of a so-called piracy instance

makes a false equivalence that living in a ‘privileged first world country’ means you must be a pro-corporate lapdog

wonder-who-thats-for

Not all westerners are corporate shills, but all corporate shills are westerners. When you're able to afford media and a decent lifestyle, you start to look down upon those who can't, you berate them for being "parasites" at worst and for "not supporting the poor corporations" at best.

I remember a time when piracy was the norm, when they wanted to show us a movie in school, they would either bring a burned CD or go to a streaming site, now they have won the "cultural war" and those things would be considered on par with armed robbery. 15 years ago we had people selling pirated games on the streets, good times those were. For context I live on the poorer side of the westoid core and our school system is chronically underfunded, it's not rare for a school to literally fall into pieces.

They tried to argue with me in a post I made about the banning of my post but at this point I think I'm not even gonna argue with them, the only thing they can do is reinstate my post but they won't, having a cheap laugh at their expense is better. Having an infinite discussion with them is less productive than having it with my (fantastic, beautiful and far smarter than them) cat.

These people can't be argued with, if I have the time I can find another guy from lemmygrad talking about it1: you can always win the conversation with libs (as their arguments don't contain any substance) but they always want the last word on anything, if you take the bait, you're gonna be engaged with them till the end of time, and frankly I don't have too much time to spare rn.

1 here's the full exchange:

And a selected quote:

99.9% pure basedness concentrate

Oh dear, that’s probably it for now, this lib has reached the point that they will simply regurgitate the same circular statements again and again. A well-coordinated team of comrades can keep them going like this for hours, but it will just be repeats of their previous statements over and over again, so there’s nothing new to learn here.

I am not following their preferred script and it upsets them, they want me to play their games, and have run out of new ways to try to get me back on their preferred track. Here we see the real tragedy of liberal brainworms. They simply believe that insisting upon something enough will make it so, that just repeating the same things over and over give them more weight, make them more correct, as if simply stating something enough will make it true.
- but all corporate shills are westerners
  
  Unfortunately there is shitton of compradors and brainwormed temporarily embarassed billionaires outside west too. Hmm, "westoids" would be a good name for them.
  
  Oh yeah I forgot about them, the US exporting it's rotten neoliberal culture to the world "finally" reached the ex-warsaw pact, sigh.
  
  It reached Poland even before socialism was destroyed, since 90's its full blown cultural invasion.

authoritarian states

I sure do love vibes based liberal politics

Bidet "uhhmmm we'll forgive 😴 $2 of student loans for every American, we'll put a mortgage on the white house and send the money to Ukraine! "

(lib crowd explodes into cheers of "heil 99% hitler, heil the lesser evil" )

Lib pundit: "sure Biden is a fossil, a weirdo, a genocide apologist and a warmonger, but at least he's not putler the baby eater! LESSER EVIL 99% HITLER"

Trumpet "folks, I'll personally manage interest rates, build a wall surrounding the Atlantic Ocean and 😴 make Atlantis pay for it! Yes folks we have the biggest walls we have the most handsome walls in the world"

(conservative crowd explode in cheers of "stop the Atlantidean caravan, build the Atlantic wall" )

Conservative pundit: "sure trump is a fossil, wears diapers, he's a warmonger, and has fascist militias on his side, but at least he's not a commie tyrant like Xi! DON'T YOU LIKE FREERUMB?

Since I started looking at amerikkkrakkker politics my brainworms rate has skyrocketed, it's at the same time the funniest and the saddest shit ever. At the same time I don't and I do get how Americans don't revolt immediately.

Brainwormed rant over
- I love Hexbear because we always have random creative writing like this
  
  I love hexbear because of the weird detailed emojis, I download every single one I find, i have like 7 by now.
  
  Last two are my favorites.
  
  I love personally
  
  How did I miss this banger
  
  Added to my collection
  
  What about this one?
  
  A gem
  
  BTW how do emojis work on hexbear? Like I doubt you have an emoji keyboard like on Android/iOS with your 5.000 emojis, must be unpractical. Do you telepathically communicate the emoji you want to insert to your device?
  
  We have both an emoji button that lets us search through them all manually, and a shortcut that auto searches from keywords if we type something following a semicolon
  
  Epic, wish we had a similar thing on lemmy.ml, even better yet federated emojis. :biden-our-savior: :99-percent-hitler: :tankie-adjacent:
  
  Permanently Deleted
  
  Oh yes, the denguin
  
  I don't even know a context in which half of these emojis would be used but they're still funny I mean
  
  behold, Angle-a Merkel
- I need a beer

Ah yes, Unruffled. funny-clown-hammer One of the "anarchist" admins of the "anarchist" dbzer0. I remember this clown defending Nazis in Ukraine when he commented on a Hexbear post. I then went to check his profile, and had a good laugh when I saw that he claims to oppose apologists for authoritarian states. wonder-who-thats-for

Oh that guy, he got owned by a bunch of hexbears on a thread about Ukraine news, he's probably just gonna find a reason to take that out on whatever hexbears he sees.

Lmao db0 (instance owner) literally confirmed it 💀

The admin probably was a bit too uncharitable in interpreting the meme due to who was posting it

(Remember that many 🧠🪱ed libs like to equate lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad, so as far as he's concerned I'm a sovereign citizen of hexbear)

And

Y'all need to chill with the hate though. It's what causing these situations as admins and mods immediately assume bad faith from hexbears and .ml

Tankies stay winning!

If he's anti-authoritarian, why ban people?

banning and censoring in the name of freespeech and anti-censorship!

authoritarians will be banned

Criticizing first world is verboten

thonk

doesn't like authoritarians

riled up by the word "bootlicker"

🤔

The fuck is "Noopolitik?"

Noopolitik is a an academic word for Russiagate brain. Noopolitik refers to mass politics influenced by misinformation/the Internet
- It's also still used if "misinformation" turns out to be 100% true.
  
  Also, it's for some reason never applied if, say, Israel pushes the narrative that babies were beheaded, or if Zenz says there's a genocide in the middle of Urumuqi, Xinjiang.
- Slav term scary, me need to trust respectable western neoliberal politician in suit, or else I get the barbaric dictator!
The term was invented by defense experts John Arquilla and David Ronfeldt in a 1999 RAND Corporation study and often appears in connection with that of smart power.

You can't make this up (although apparently you can)
Sounds like they needed a new word for realpolitik that they can say is bad and evil instead of smart and bastardly

The Dude profile pic. Guaranteed libertarian

I had to look that one up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noopolitik
I think he means Xi and/or Putler bots, because he suffers from BlueAnon conspiracy theories about social media.
