Yeah, we have beans, and jeans, and uhh… uhhh…

I think its a chicken having some naughty thoughts about his wife being a duck

No way that’s a legal shape for a bird

I think the extremist politics on here drive people away. I don’t even tell anyone I use Lemmy because of that.

Hexbear is obviously the worst, but Lemmy.ml is also openly spreading propaganda.

What a shitty post.

Go away Hexbear propagandist.

America bad, CCP good, Kremlin good. Thanks for joining Lemmy.

Found this dog

Nope… it found you.

Similar because a good portion of the propaganda in both extremist groups is coming from places like the CCP and Kremlin that want to destabilize the US and other powerful countries (like India).

Divide and conquer isn’t anything new, but it’s implementation on social media is.

And you’re ignorant. Another great debate thanks Hexbear

Cool let’s just insult each other, Hexbear is great 👍💯

No, the truth is the CCP is a violently authoritarian government that needs to control what it’s citizens think in order to stay in power.

No I don’t want a revolution, I want people to try to work together instead of fighting.

The cold war ended, the USSR collapsed, and china shifted to being a semi-capitalist autocracy… I could go on but you’re just trying to dunk on the libs (like MAGA, big surprise) and I’m not one anyway.

It might shock you but you aren’t required to stand for an anti-establishment whatever and shove your opinions down other people’s throats.

Capitalism in it’s current form may be responsible for incredible suffering and truly horrific global environmental damage. That doesn’t mean the concept itself is 100% wrong, that Communism is compatible with human nature, or that it’s in humanities best interest to split of into a bunch of counter-movements.

Hey, what about this tangentially-connected thing from 70 years ago?

I’m not replying to anyone, I’m posting this for other people who come along and might be susceptible to Hexbear propaganda.

Everything is authoritarian

Ok…

Leaving this here for anyone else who got this far and feels confused:

Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting.

Are people stupid enough to believe this?

I have no problem with communism, I have a problem with authoritarian propaganda.
