“All the people who try to explain to me the places where I am obviously wrong, they’re all just robots yeah, that’s it. So I don’t need to try to address that nagging sense of cognitive dissonance I get when I read them, I’ll just call them ‘borg’ and block them! Phew, that feels better.”
What was that you were calling others in the thread, was it coward?
I am advocating on behalf of the Palestinians by advocating for the less harmful of the two.
You’re advocating for the ones who started this most deadly iteration of the genocide and calling them “less harmful.”
You, on the other hand, couldn’t care lass about anyone and seem to be driven by ideological purity.
Right, which is why on hexbear we have been giving money (that many of us don’t have enough of to pay rent and buy food) and real material support directly to Palestinians as well as having actual Palestinian posters. While communists actually do things that actually help people in the real world, liberals are the ones who pretend to care oh ever so much while doing nothing of any material value, and in fact supporting the people and the party that set the genocide on it’s course.
Because the real world scares you. Because you are a coward. Because you want to feel correct by ignoring reality. You are of no use to anyone.
And here’s where the “Every Accusation is a Confession” comes in full force! Every single point, so revealing.
Now my fifth or sixth hexbear block.
And as an example of the Every Accusation a Confession principle of the liberal modus operandi, I will go ahead and point out the same thing Dirt_Owl did: “This has to be a bit. He called me a coward while running away and blocking lmao.” But much more than just that, see how the liberal accuses Dirt_Owl of cowardice, but then goes and does the cowardly thing? See how the liberal accuses Dirt_Owl of ignoring reality, while plugging their own ears and saying “lahlahlah I can’t heeeear you!” See how the liberal accuses Dirt_Owl of being afraid of the world while themselves refusing to even entertain a perspective that challenges their own? See how the liberal says Dirt_Owl is “of no use to anyone” as a strange out-of-nowhere insult, when it is widely known that liberals are seen by people across the "political spectrum* as being useless? They just can’t help but tell on themselves with every little “gotcha” or snide insult they try to use against others.
Genocidal politicians are milquetoast centrism (which is good)
Just because a fascist might sometimes be capable of being a broken clock, that doesn’t mean one should ever be quoted or given any kind of “credit” for their rare broken-clock take. Yes, context absolutely does matter, and in the case where the context includes fascism, that itself informs us that we should be especially careful the fascist receives no praise or endorsement of any kind. It really is not hard to make sure you never hand it to them.
Not only is it a lie that “humanity is inherently selfish, that’s just evolution,” but the exact opposite is the case. Arguably the primary reason that humanity became as successful as it did, evolutionarily speaking, is because of our capacity for cooperation.
(Just a side note, one doesn’t have to be an anarchist to appreciate Peter Kropotkin and Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution.)
Even though some here will call me a nerd for it, to me there is a profound beauty to watching how the Game of Life sizzles and pops. I’m in awe of the way it demonstrates unpredictability despite the complete deterministic ruleset. And when the self-replicating critters bubble up out of it and start doing their thing, something about it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Also, RIP to John Conway, another victim of Covid.
lol, no. No one has ever been banned from .ml for “criticizing Russia.” Even the communist admins of .ml have no love for modern Russia which is a capitalist country, they just know that throwing every single working class Ukrainian person into the meat grinder is the best way forward. And “tankies,” as the above commenter is using the term, are just people who recognize that history existed prior to February of 2022.
I can’t help but hope that if someone writes about this removal on their substack or something, that article can then be posted on reddit. The conversation in the reddit thread would then be about reddit banning discussion of platforms that apparently threaten theirs, which should be even harder for them to justify banning the meta discussion of that fact. It would be nice if this little removal ended up having something of a Streisand Effect on reddit, exposing more people to the existence of Lemmy than the post they removed had been.
The advantage gravity has is that it never quite goes away, no matter how far you are.
That’s true of all the fundamental forces, though. They all drop off over distance with inverse square laws. Like if you had two lone electrons in an otherwise empty universe, their electromagnetic repulsion would also persist indefinitely at 1/r^2 strength, just like gravity. The difference is that our universe has near-perfect charge neutrality at large scales.
What does?
