Yeah, okay. Totally not gonna be surprised when I see you get posted to !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

EDIT: Also that’s a curious reaction to getting called out. All you had to say was “I’m not a tankie, I’m sorry for using their rhetoric” and this whole thing would’ve been cleared up.

so you admit you’re a tankie alt? Good job, see you on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works lol

What a hexbear style of argumentation. Nice alt LOL. You’re telling me Russia and China should be allowed to prosecute anyone?

take them out to a nice dinner and talk about what local orgs you both would want to get involved with. People learn a lot more from real life political action than being given a list of links.

I haven’t felt the need to block any instance besides the NSFW ones on my main account so I can scroll in public without porn popping up, but then again I’m less thin-skinned than most

Is there any way to set one up that protects the anonymity of the people involved (where even the organizers don’t know each other’s real names) for opsec purposes?

you will probably stop seeing much of that if you block users that post a lot to fediverselore and meanwhileongrad. They’re like the /r/subredditdrama of lemmy

Nosferatu says Dracula has gone too far

fr these posts are just chum for wannabe curators who think they’re responsible for safeguarding the fediverse from some axis of evil

if you can’t handle political content then just excluding worldnews from your feed should be enough

I need an adult?

the problem with hexbear is the same handful of users that have made it their hobby to complain incessantly about hexbear all over the fediverse

let the Melina-jacketing commence

Dude, kill the redditor in your head. This is my only fediverse account and by “deflecting again” I mean there’s a clear pattern of behavior in this thread that you avoid the topic altogether when you get called out on anything.

What do you mean “no use in 4 months”? Are you just used to lying at this point, hoping the people upvoting you won’t investigate your claims? My account is only 2 months old and I post like every other day. You’re probably just blocking or defederated from the instances I’m active in.

But this has nothing to do with the fact that you call yourself a socialist without knowing what materialism is.

You’re deflecting again. You said in another comment “they say they are communists yet they engage in materialism.” You could just own up and say that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

So like, do you understand what materialism means in socialist philosophy? It’s clear by the way you’ve used the word in this thread that you think it just means “likes having stuff.”

How do you run around calling yourself a socialist when you don’t even know what historical and dialectical materialism are?

Plus the original demand was 15 days of sick leave, and then a tepid 7-day sick leave proposal was sent to die in congress. It’s not a miracle that Biden was able to get 5 days. Breaking the strike with state power and then casting crumbs in our direction was a flex on the working class saying “nah you’ll only get what we allow you to have. You don’t deserve to demand shit.”

I’m not holding out any hope that this is anything more than a PR campaign like kneeling cops and kente scarves.
