Now personally I think we have the word takie pretty well defined in our rules and have no intention of changing it. Fuck tankies, they don't belong here.
I didn't write fuck commies, or fuck libtards, (I am a vocal socialist and very far left) or anything like that, the banner is specifically about pro-auth dictator-worshipping tankies.Wow. Using an ableist slur (-tard) and claiming to be far left. Nah.
Also you claim to be anti-authoritarian and yet want to shut down discourse that harms your reactionary liberal viewpoint. Interesting.
Holy fuck great start to federation, like just actual semantics trolling. I don't even know what else to call it, you have 0 pushback on the fact you praise dictators, it's actually amazing.
What dictators are you talking about?
Cricket, cricket
Yeah doesn't doesn't seem like anyone wants to answer.
I had a another comment of my mine in this thread removed, that was just asking if someone who self described as very left supported any AES.
Way more into accusations than answers
You sound fun
Oh I am very fun I just get very un fun when accused of being a fucking Nazi.
I wouldn't use the term "x-tard", it's pretty ableist :/ (and something I've had to put up with as an autistic person - honestly it was going away a few years ago but seems to have re-established itself via 4chan's memetic bleedthrough to internet communities).
But I do agree very strongly with the sentiment ., it's nice to have a leftist space on lemmy not overrun by authoritarianism tbh nya
How very far left can you be if you don't support any actually existing socialist state. Or do you support amy AES?
What does the word "tankie" mean according to you? Would you consider Nelson Mandela a "tankie" for his support of the Cuban revolution, taking inspiration from Mao while imprisoned on Robben Island, and being thankful towards the Soviet Union for their support in ending apartheid while being the last recipient of the Lenin Peace Prize? Because if so, then I'm sure if I'm welcome here as a socialist South African who will always be grateful for the choices Mandela made...
And before I get accused of brigading, this post appeared on the front page of my all feed. I'll link a screenshot as proof in the spoiler tag below

Not replying to anything other than pointing out that at least on my TestFlight version, Memmy properly “hid” the spoiler until I expanded it.
This is a fucking internet website on the internet. Lay off the red dye kid
Is criticism of the use of that word against 196's rules? Here are articles from the Chicago Tribune and the Anchorage Press, and a definition from the Cambridge English Dictionary which say:
Taking the R-word and adding "lib" to it doesn't make it any less offensive. And what bothers me is that those who combine "liberal" with that word are not insulting their intended targets — they're insulting an entire group of people who have done nothing wrong, all while perpetuating a term that simply needs to go away.
Combining the R-word with liberal makes it no less offensive.
an offensive word used by some people on the extreme right of politics to refer to someone who holds left-wing political beliefs
While I understand that you're using it ironically, I believe that being critical of the ironic use of offensive language is valid and contributes to discussion. I find it concerning that Nakoichi's post was removed without any explanation other than calling him, "braindead."
Being called a liberal is insulting enough. Most liberals will identify as progressives.
Ok yes I'm not calling anyone a liberal though
