Feels like ad hominem. The point is that you are unwilling to even engage with the idea that Russia seeks to eliminate Ukrainian identity, an idea which is reported by a number of primary Russian sources in a variety of media. Putin himself expresses frequent open skepticism of Ukrainian nationality. Not to even mention the internationally recognized mass deportation of children.

I won’t argue that Israel isn’t an apartheid state engaging in collective punishment. Meanwhile you will turn yourself in circles to defend Russian aggression, and for the life of me I can figure out what that has to do with liberating workers. It just feels less like intellectual honesty and more like campism. But then somehow I’m the brainwashed goon for actually attempting to maintain something resembling ideological consistency.

That was easy.

So you agree that there is a strong argument for Russia seeking genocide in Ukraine as well, right?

Last panel is wrong. Genie would just grant him an MBA from a top tier school

They are unironically Marxist-Leninists and actively chase away democratic socialists, and say things like “nuking American is based.”

I’m not sure what else you want.

You are correct, the American website Wikipedia definitely does not have an article on Haymarket

I’ll take that over believing pig shit memes are reasonable discourse any day.

These meta posts I personally don’t give a fuck. Stretch your legs, grab a drink, whatever. It’s every worldnews thread since federation which has been filled with literal pig shit, which apparently counts as “alternative opinions” or whatever helps you sleep.

I never said anything was mine. However the circlejerk shit should not be allowed to infest every discussion. It’s obnoxious. That’s my opinion.

Edit - there’s literally multiple threads on the front page of hexbear about “dunking on libs”

Their stated goal is to disrupt conversation to deny “shit libs” a platform. Users who do this should be banned as trolls if they continue, IMO. Unfortunately they seem to get special protection on lemmy.ml, perhaps unsurprisingly.

Exactly. I legitimately long for an actual leftist space which isn’t just edgy anti-western brain rot. I want to actually discuss theory and praxis and statecraft with people who can actually acknowledge that obsessive Chinese autocracy should be condemned as harshly as western imperialism. Unfortunately, my experience on Lemmy has once again demonstrated that this is impossible.
