  .world is the one that “preemptively defederated HB and grad, as a last resort” due to such scary views as opposing NATO and the IMF.

    There are sophisticated and nuanced critiques to be made of Western power projection, soft and hard. “Nuanced” and “sophisticated” are not words appropriate to the average hexbear or lemmygrad denizen’s take on geopolitics, and for those of us who live in the real world rather than living to argue over how many Maos can dance on the tip of the icepick that killed Trotsky, the loud and unrelenting naysaying of anything less extreme than “armed proletarian revolution now!” got to be incredibly tiresome.

      The constant cheerleading of brutally-repressive regimes that don’t have any values in common with actual socialists or communists just because they oppose the US and its allies.

      This is my main issue with tankies. Yeah, late-stage capitalism sucks and exploits the layman to enrich the rich further—I take no issue with that. It’s the knob-slobbering of Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un that makes no sense. Modern-day Russia, China, and North Korea have about as much in common with communism as oat milk has with milk: nothing but the name.

        Drag thinks oat milk is milk. Drag isn’t convinced that cow’s milk is real milk, though. Milk comes from a plant, drag isn’t sure something from an animal’s boob counts. Chemically it’s too different from milk to call it the same thing.

    Go visit hexbear.net/PPB (nsfw) for a good reason why one might want to defederate from them.

    Strawman arguments and other such logical fallacies as these are why I user blocked lemmy.ml. It’s too bad they still show up from Lemmy.ml accounts everywhere I look:-(.

  ML was is basically designed moderated to be an echo chamber, it’s right there in the name.

  FTFY (though, I’m mostly being sarcastic here - like most things, moderation there is a mixed bag from community to community).
