For a group that considers .world to be Reddit 2.0 and a "CIA propaganda front" they seem to get awfully mad whenever it comes up

Once, I was called a “debate pervert” and then banned from a community with “debate pervert” given as the reason.
Why?
I dared to point out that a user’s comment was full of logical fallacies.
They hate that, because there’s no way to argue back against it.
“no u”
Got lots of that, too. It’s like speaking to a 4 year-old
If you think the world works like high School debate clubs, you need to head back to Ben Shapiro’s butt hit basement emporium and get back to circle jerking over pointless pedantry that never affects the meaning of a message or argument.
I was just making fun of you, since, you know, you’re just a generic right-winger using the same tactics and excuses.
Holy projection, Batman. If you projected any harder, you‘d need an IMAX theater.
Of course, the childish insults were totally expected. And, of course, you couldn’t be more wrong about me. That’s what you get when you make the foolish mistake of assuming you know strangers on the Internet.
Child you literally complained about being called a debate pervert while being a debate pervert.
In ten years when you come back from Ben Shapiro’s sweaty ballsac, let me know
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read, lol
Stay mad, and keep fantasizing about Ben Shapiro’s sweaty ball sack
Fallacy fallacy: only because it contains a fallacy (or a bunch) the argument isn’t necessarily void.
Still stacking fallacies isn’t usually a sign of a good and or valid argument.
It wasn’t a fallacy fallacy. Their entire argument, nay, their entire identity, was based on a foundation of logical fallacies.
And no, their argument was definitely not valid in any way.
Moving the goalpost fallacy. You wrote in your comment to which I replied that no argument can be made against pointing out that someone’s arguments contains fallacies, which is not true.
I wasn’t present as you got hurt arguing on the Internet so I couldn’t anticipate that you were up against someone who’s “entire identity was based on logical fallacies” (ad hominem).
Wow, nice straw man you got there, lol
Also, pointing out that someone bases their entire identity around something isn’t an ad hominem. Even if it were, by your own logic, it wouldn’t make me wrong.
Nice try though
Would you be so kind as to point out the straw man in that?
And no I don’t think you are necessarily wrong, I think you apply your standards selectively.
I mean, at the limit, if they were clear in their rules thay only radical leftists are allowed (which you would assume given it’s called ML - marxist leninism, it might be acceptable).
The genocide denial and masquarading as a neutral all purpose instance isn’t though.
Yeah why would a communist instance ban right-wingers?
Do you have any idea how anything work at all?
I would tolerate them a little more if it weren’t for the constant brigading.
Wanna analyze Marxist-Leninist-Maoist theory, self-crit, and all that good stuff? Fine by me, I like discussion of varying viewpoints. But often it’s not about that but are bad faith arguments and whataboutisms about how the decadent West is ruled by the US and how Putin/Kim did nothing wrong.
It’s exhausting. I don’t go into their subs and rattle on about liberal market economics.
Like, I get it…I get their issues with capitalism. But it’s not like socialism won’t have it’s own problems.
Personally, I’d rather not go through a bloody civil war in order to inact a new system, because I know that my children are going to be the ones that have to suffer that nightmare. I’d much rather try to fix the problems of our current system than start from the beginning with a brand new one.
Well, every so called communist government has been one, so there are examples…
Thanks for making my point.
I mean don’t you prove his point, by pointing out that all governments that call themselves communist are “so called communist governments”? So they aren’t doing communism right, else they could call themselves rightfully communist.
I do share the notion that communism is an ideology or economic system that is supposed to liberate people from class war. So it should be a liberating force. Suppressing dissent, free media, and casually engaging in imperialism and ethnic cleansing is not what I’d imagine a liberating government would do.
Obviously democracies with “free markets” also have these pitfalls. Not to say that both are equally wrong, but both are surely not the implementation of its self proclaimed ideals.
That’s what you get for thinking, Shakespeare
Oh, and the line is, “Methinks the lady doth protest too much.”
I’m pretty happy to be off .world and exposed to the slightly wider 'verse. The MLs and Hexbears aren’t all that bad. I’ve seen some absolute dogshit leftist takes from some of them, but I’ve seen plenty of dogshit “centrism” on .world too.
Ultimately, you just have to do some of your own blocking/moderating work, while trying to remember that only anarchists are always right and to be patient while everyone else catches up.
yeah .world has some weird vibes, I don’t think it’s exactly centrist but I don’t like how the vocal ones there seem to have a superiority complex against ml, hexbear and lemmygrad.
I don’t like many of the communities on these instances either but I don’t think that .world users should be the ones to hold the power and cry to the wider fediverse when we don’t do exactly what they do
the vocal ones there seem to have a superiority complex against ml, hexbear and lemmygrad.
Those vocal ones who tend to call ‘genocide denial’ and ‘genocide apologia’ have a track record of supporting Israel in Gaza or outright glorifying Imperial Japan and chinese warlords. They’re well aware of the absurdity, which is the point of their drive to enter leftist spaces.
The same folk tend to enter lgbtq and trans spaces to gatekeep definitions there–where they also get banned and then complain about it.

It was really uncanny how many of those power users were bent out of shape over trans people in trans spaces wanting to respect neo pronouns.
You gotta sling them an email at: [email protected]
They should be able to put you in touch with accounts.
