Just a little thought I wanna discuss.

Unlike the more massive social media or the real world where theres not many leftists and we are gladly more united Lemmy and its left leaning tendencies with the instances providing natural cult grouping tendencies. Add to that the matrix in groups there and we all seem to be making a thing out of how to anger each other. How to troll each other or annoy x or y instance.

I hate this.

Living in an extreme right wing nation I know no other anarchist. A few left wingers. Even the libs here are right wing extremists by the standards of a western nation. I hold dear any solidarity.

I support unions here even when everyone there is a religious fundamentalist who wants sharia law bc they still qantnto improve the conditions of the working class.

Many folks here, who again I don’t have any hate for, I see intending these fights and dramas. Having the goal to be banned from x or y community or instance.

  • Why!?!?
  • What do you gain?
  • What is the desire here??

    Might be worth looking at the behaviour of so called leftists on Lemmy.

    Many of them openly support and cheer for russia’s invasion of Ukraine and support summary killing of Ukrainians (“summary executions in Bucha [and beyond] is a BIA conspiracy!!!” is not a serious statement), openly state that Ukraine does not have the right to self-determination and generally support the extermination of Ukrainian culture, language and identity.

    I am from Ukraine, from Donbas (Lugansk) no less. What sort of reaction do you expect when you see alleged leftists cheers for the total occupation of Lugansk by the Russians with BS like “Lugansk is free of da Nasizzz !1!1!”.

    Or what about Jeromy Corbyn fanboys denying Corbyn’s open support for russian genocidal imperialism (keep in mind these type of things get reported in Ukrainian media)? The fucker literally worked for Russia Today (which is managed by russian intel) and cheered the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

    As far as I am concerned, I hope all tankies meet the same fate as “Donbas Cowboy”, Russell Bentley.

    Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.

    According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.

    Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.

    Is this an unreasonable reaction to disgusting tankies? What reaction do you expect?

      You should leave any instance that is federated with the Triad, imo. Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and ML are all Russia sponsored/supported instances that should be shunned by Lemmy as a whole.

        I have Lemmygrad and Hexbear blocked. ML still has a few communities that need to move off ML.

        FWIW, I actively mod/curate several communities that have become vibrant alternatives to the original (half dead) ML variants.

        I actually joined Threadiverse via ML (did think the domain and their application was strange but didn’t think too much about it) and then I realized Dessalines also admins Lemmygrad and he is a scumbag; of course I left ML ASAP.

        I am generally doing my part to move over to Piefed, which also has a lot of cool features and better devs.

          Yeah, I am on .World which for some reason still federates with .ml. I’ve moved over to Piefed on Desktop, just not on mobile yet.

      Yeah, the support of a blatantly fascist/imperialist state like Putin’s Russia by self-described leftists is absolutely wild to me. I’m not convinced they’re serious people. Like, yeah, there’s some silly infighting between leftists online, but from my experience, it’s usually tankies saying some smug bullshit blanket statements and defending authoritarian douchecanoes.

        Don’t forget the libs supporting the fascist/imperial state of USA, EU, etc. Completely wild and unserious.

          It’s still possible for internal US dynamics to change and there have been positive outcomes from US foreign policy (Germany, Japan, Poland, Baltic nations).

          The same cannot be said about russia and China.

      Don’t forget the libs openly promoting genocide in palestine.

      Tankies and libs are basically the same thing with different imperial branding.

        Strongly disagree on this one. Tankies and MLs are almost universally supportive of genocidal imperialism and authoritarianism.

        Had some unhinged ML quote tweet my post about how she was in no position to complain about removal of Soviet monuments (she doesn’t live in Kyiv, doesn’t walk in Kyiv’s parks and doesn’t pay local taxes).

        “Libs” do not all hold identical views on Palestine. If anything, negative perceptions of Israel (not just the current leadership) is on the rise. Libs are no where near tankies or MLs in terms of toxicity and comical stupid polemics (I refuse to believe tankies genuinely believe NK is a vanguard against imperialism and a great place to live).
