    I would like to shoutout @Cowbee@hexbear.net / @Cowbee@lemmy.ml for still attempting to engage with people and dispel misinformation/accusations in these threads, even when the people you engage with are acting with incredible amounts of bad faith. you are sincerely one of the best posters here or anywhere else, and we’re lucky to have you.

    What the fuck? Where do these people find the time to post this badly, so constantly? Like do they all work IT jobs that require no actual work so they can just post all day long?

    Couldn’t they just read theory instead and learn something?

      If they can put two and two together about the ways they’re being lied about and the ways we’re lied about. I’m kind of optimistic: I think if we channel our inner Sankara, and act with patience and diplomacy, maybe the red and black can uniteleft-unity-3

        With respect, you were at the very least doing that thing where libs and [however you’d like to self-describe] attack the same targets along mostly the same lines, which incidentally involved red-bashing. I witnessed and once or twice participated in many of those arguments on another account.

        I have no interest in trying to shame you or something ridiculous like that if you’ve decided a tentative red-black alliance is a good thing, though. I’d much rather we all try to be constructive about things, and I didn’t read all the details in the post because I just can’t stand the same old ignorant concern-trolling from liberals that you were dealing with (credit to you for pushing back against it), but from the parts I did see, I think you were being pretty reasonable.

        I can’t really speak on behalf of the community and in fact think the majority of people who have an opinion on me at all dislike me, which is their prerogative, but I hope that our communities (or our community and your admins) can improve relations a bit in light of these neoliberal pricks attacking you in this way.

    goat is a stupid fucking engagement troll and needs to just face the fucking wall. They literally built MeanwhileOnGrad just for engagement farming and petty drama slop. What a petulant child. Can someone tag me when I get screenshotted?

      I really don’t understand that sort of comm existing. The ones like “shit liberals say” or “shit conservatives say” make sense, because they’re saying awful, reprehensible things. But how can someone scroll through somewhere like Lemmygrad and claim that they are horrible and bad, I get the initial knee-jerk lib thing of “they support evil dictators!” but surely after reading even just a few posts, they would understand that Lemmygrad has reasons for saying the things they do and aren’t just blindly “supporting dictators” or whatever. What I’m trying to say is I feel like anyone trying to farm content for a comm like that would either realise that they are full of shit at some point, or be completely soulless and deliberately try to cherry pick and misquote people just to make them look bad while knowing full well that they are just lying about them.

        Sometimes it involves cherrypicking for when a reactionary among us says something shitty (before they get banned for saying it), and other times it’s based on reflexive reactions, “denying” this or that “genocide” or other mass-death event, for example, because to many people Stalin is Super Hitler and repeating mainstream neoliberal historiography about the Holodomor not being intentionally “perpetrated” by anyone but the kulaks (who weren’t the biggest issue, to be clear to whichever libs are reading) is the same to them as Holocaust denial. Some people have just read a hundred thousand reddit comments about Uighurs being exterminated, so when you say that that’s ridiculous and the most you can say is that there have been custodial deaths with no evidence of murder, and otherwise there were “merely” various types of repression that do not constitute genocide, well, you’re now a Holocaust denier times two, which is even worse than the normal Holocaust deniers because they only deny one Holocaust.

        Also sometimes people saying things like roux just said above you, which are genuinely unhealthy. Goat clearly needs some sort of intervention, but not a fucking execution or any kind of physical harm.

    btw, never give these motherfuckers an inch on Xinjiang

    there is no genocide, no forced labor, no forced sterlizations, all of that shit is entirely made up and they can never provide any evidence besides a tiny number of people giving anecdotes outside the country
